Short-stack Matthias Auer (120,000) and Birger Larsen (945,000) were all-in and at risk versus Andris Rasins.
Matthias Auer: 7♠3♠
Birger Larsen: Q♥Q♦
Andris Rasins: J♣J♦
Larsen was in great shape with the overpair queens, and he was again celebrating enthusiastically after the 9♥4♥4♣7♦3♥ runout.
He walked away from the table pumping his fist as the stacks were being counted, and one of his tablemates jokingly shouted "You lost bro", in reference to the 7♦3♥ turn and river. For a moment a look of horror was on the face of Larsen but he peered again at the board and realized the joke, sitting down again to a stack of over 2,000,000.
