Hiep Ninh raised to 1,200,000 in the hijack before Stephen Groom jammed all in for 7,825,000 in the cutoff. Tero Laurila then four-bet all in from the small blind for 9,025,000 and Ninh went into the tank.
Eventually, he folded his hand to create a heads up showdown with Groom at risk.
Stephen Groom: J♥J♣
Tero Laurila: Q♦Q♣
Groom grimaced as the Q♥2♣3♠ flop left him drawing to runner-runner quads, but said his goodbyes amicably and with a smile on his face when that miracle did not occur on the 7♠10♠ runout.
Groom pocketed €84,480 for his sixth place, nearly 20 times his previous recorded live earnings.
