Ari Engel
Ari Engel

From early position, Ari Engel moved 1,265,000 of his stack forward, leaving himself with 80,000 behind. Upeshka De Silva reshoved all in on the button and thought it was a showdown yet. However, with his few remaining chips behind, Engel took his time with the payjump in play before committing the rest as well.

Ari Engel: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Upeshka De Silva: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The {5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{K-Clubs} flop brought no help for the Canadian star, but he picked up a flush draw on the {9-Clubs} turn to go with his aces. The river provided neither with the {Q-Hearts}, instead improving De Silva to a set of queens. Engel finished in 56th place and was the last to collect €7,050. All other players are now guaranteed €9,500.
