Ottomar Ladva made it 525,000 under the gun before Patrik Antonius three-bet to 1,400,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Ladva, he four-bet to 2,600,000, and Antonius five-bet jammed for 8,420,000. Ladva made the call to put Antonius at risk.
Patrik Antonius: A♥5♥
Ottomar Ladva: Q♦Q♥
Antonius was making a move with the solver-approved ace-five suited, but was unfortunate to run into the pocket queens of the chip leader.
The flop fell 10♣10♠6♦ and Antonius fell even further behind.
A 2♠ rolled off on the turn, which meant Antonius needed to spike an ace on the river to survive.
It wasn't to be for the poker Hall of Famer, as the K♥ completed the board, and Antonius said "GG", as he headed to the cashier's desk to collect his fifth place payout.

Patrik Antonius raised to 500,000 on the button before Matthias Lipp moved all in for 3,795,000 in the big blind. Antonius rechecked his cards and shook his head as he tanked for a minute, but he eventually called to put Lipp at risk.
Matthias Lipp: K♠7♠
Patrik Antonius: A♥8♠
Antonius had most of his stack in the middle as the flop came K♦Q♥J♣ to give Lipp the lead with a pair of kings. The turn was the 2♠ and Lipp was a card away from a double up, but Antonius spiked the 10♣ on the river to make a straight and send Lipp to the rail in sixth place.
