Stefan Kiwisch Eliminated in 3rd Place ($415,000)
Level 29
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Moussa Ahmad raised to 600,000 from the small blind and Stefan Kiwisch jammed for 4,875,000 from the big blind. Ahmad called and had the chance to send the tournament heads-up.
Stefan Kiwisch: A♠4♠
Moussa Ahmad: A♣5♣
Both players had a suited ace, and a chop looked like the most likely outcome.
Neither player improved on the 7♦3♣10♥ flop, but both hit a pair of aces when the A♥ fell on the turn.
Ahmad was asking the dealer for a deuce, as only one of them or a five would send Kiwisch to the rail. A 2♣ peeled off on the river, and Ahmad's five-kicker played, eliminating Kiwisch in third place.
