Frederik Thiemer with around 40,000, Denis Grimm with around 60,000, and Vitalii Shcherba with a covering stack all got their chips into the middle preflop.
Frederik Thiemer: Q♠Q♥
Denis Grimm: A♠K♠
Vitalii Shcherba: A♥A♣
Shcherba was in an excellent spot to send his stack soaring towards the summit and Grimm was already standing up in preparation for departure. However, the 7♠4♠10♠ flop made Grimm quickly sit back down as he flopped the nut flush to all but lock up the pot. A 4♦ on the turn did give both Thiemer and Shcherba some outs, but the 7♦ river was a brick, which meant Thiemer busted, and Grimm almost tripled up.
