Manuel Fritz Eliminated in 3rd Place ($2,311,000)
Level 30
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
It folded to Aleksejs Ponakovs in the small blind who moved all in for the big blind Manuel Fritz's stack of 6,600,000, which Fritz snap called.
Manuel Fritz: A♦Q♦ 
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♣5♦
Fritz had Ponakovs dominated, but the roles quickly reversed after the 5♣2♣3♠ flop. The 3♦ and 8♠ runout could not improve Fritz, and he was sent to the rail in third place.
