Fedor Holz chipped up to around 1.5M while Erik Seidel defended his big blind once against Daniel Dvoress and then folded on a {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop. Down to just under 1.1M, Seidel open-shoved the very next hand from the small blind and fellow short stack Nick Petrangelo called all in from the big blind after having double-checked his cards.

Nick Petrangelo: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Erik Seidel: {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and the ace on the river improved Seidel. Both stacks were counted and Seidel had 1,095,000, while Petrangelo was covered with 1,080,000 to join the rail in 5th place for €248,400. This means that all remaining four players are now at least €319,800 richer.
