Two Outer on River Flips Chip Counts

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nick Schulman raised to 125,000 with the {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Matt Hyman popped it to 460,000 with the {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Schulman responded by moving all in and Hyman wasted little time in calling off for 2.19 million.

The {10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop gave Schulman trips, and suddenly Hyman was looking for a six to stay alive. The {Q-Clubs} turn was a blank, and Schulman was one card away from winning it all. Unfortunately for him, the river was the {6-Spades} and Hyman hit his miracle card to double.

Stefan Schillhabel Eliminated in 3rd Place ($306,000)

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Stefan Schillhabel - 3rd Place
Stefan Schillhabel - 3rd Place

In the hand after Steffen Sontheimer fell in fourth place, the last remaining German in the field, Stefan Schillhabel, followed him out the door in third.

It happened when a preflop raising war resulted in Schillhabel getting his stack of 1.6 million all in against Nick Schulman. It was a cooler.

Schillhabel: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Schulman: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Schillhabel was in desperate need of a third queen, but the lady stood him up as the board ran out a dry {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Schillhabel will take home $306,000 for his third-place finish.

Steffen Sontheimer Eliminated in 4th Place ($204,000)

Level 24 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nick Schulman raised to 130,000 from the button and then called when Steffen Sontheimer, who celebrated a birthday two days ago, moved all in for 325,000 from the small blind.

Schulman: {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Sontheimer: {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The {j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop gave Schulman an open-ended straight draw, but it was the {9-Hearts} turn that would give him the lead. The {8-Hearts} river was a blank for Sontheimer and he took his leave in fourth place.

Ace on the River Saves Matt Hyman

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Matt Hyman got his stack of 1.065 million all in preflop and was racing against Steffen Sontheimer.

Sontheimer: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Hyman: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

It was a race, but Hyman needed to improve to stay alive. Neither the {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop nor {2-Hearts} turn did it for him, but you know from the title of this post what was coming... the {a-Hearts} on the river!

Hyman doubled into the chip lead while Sontheimer fell to the extreme short stack.
