Johan Guilbert Eliminated in 2nd Place ($870,000)
Matthias Eibinger asked Johan Guilbert how much he had behind but didn't even wait for an answer before announcing all in with J♥8♥. Guilbert folded J♣6♥.
Eibinger shoved from the button again a few hands later, and Guilbert called this time for his last 4,200,000.
Johan Guilbert: 7♥7♣
Matthias Eibinger: 8♣7♠
Guilbert was a favorite to double up with his sevens, but Eibinger hit a pair on the 10♦8♥4♣ flop to take the lead.
"One out," Guilbert said.
"Nine on the turn?" Eibinger added.
"Or six," Guilbert replied, but the turn instead came the 3♣.
"It's got to be one out," Guilbert said, and no miracles arrived on the 8♠ river as Eibinger improved to trips.
"GG," Guilbert said as he got up to shake Eibinger's hand before heading to the rail after a runner-up finish.
