Droege Eliminated in 7th Place ($38,100)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Maximilian Droege
Maximilian Droege

Maximilian Droege, the likeable online qualifier from Canada, has finally fallen and so he becomes the final table bubble boy. He had flown over just to play in this tournament and what a ride it’s been. Unfortunately it has come to an end, and it was at the hands of Sergey Rybachenko.

Rybachenko opened for 50,000, Albert Daher folded his small blind and Droege put the rest of what remained of his stack over the line. Rybachenko quickly called and tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Droege groaned and showed his {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. The cards ran out {4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{a-Hearts}. He was given a warm round of applause as he left, and although he will be desperately unhappy to exit so close to the final day we’re sure that when he has time to reflect on the tournament it will be an experience he will never forget.
