Bernhard Binder Eliminated in 2nd Place (€515,000)
Roman Stoica limped in on the button. Bernhard Binder was in the big blind, and he raised to 800,000. Stoica called, and the 4♠7♣7♦ flop was fanned.
Binder started with a check, causing Stoica to take the initiative with a bet of 350,000. Binder called to the 9♠ turn, on which he knuckled the table again.
Stoica sized up to 1,100,000. Binder stuck around with another call, seeing the Q♠ river complete the board.
Stoica then put his opponent all in. Binder took off his sunglasses as he assessed the situation. Before his 30-second shot clock ran out, Binder committed his last 3,225,000 to the middle.
Stoica revealed trip sevens with 7♥5♥. Binder was unable to beat it, having rivered two pair with K♦Q♦, and the two players shared a hug before Binder left the TV stage to pick up the €515,000 he had just earned with his runner-up finish.
