Boris Angelov open-raised to 160,000 from under the gun and Miguel Capriles called on the button. Leon Zeaiter used a time bank card before moving all in from the small blind for 1,540,000. Kestutis Jungevicius called all in from the big blind with a short stack of 250,000 and Angelov isolated with a shove. Capriles folded and three players flipped their cards.

Kestutis Jungevicius: Q♠10♥ All in
Leon Zeaiter: A♥K♥ All in
Boris Angelov: J♥J♣

"King, king," called out Zeaiter.

The flop came K♠K♦10♣ to give Zeaiter trip kings. The turn came the 6♥ and river the Q♣. Zeaiter won the pot, doubling his stack through Angelov and sending Jungevicius to the rail.

"So nice," said Angelov.

"I am king for Germany," said Zeaiter as he pulled in a huge pot worth over 2,000,000.

Jungevicius tapped the table and shook his opponent's hands as he left. He was the first to be eliminated from the final table, finishing in ninth place for €90,850.
