Samuel Klocker Eliminated in 9th Place (CHF13,500)
Samuel Klocker shoved from early position for 1,510,000 and Benjamin Hammann called from the cutoff. Once the rest of the table folded, the cards were tabled with Hammann trying to bust Klocker and bring Day 3 to an end.
Samuel Klocker: 5♦5♠
Benjamin Hammann: A♣Q♦
It was a flip that was a lot more significant for Klocker as he was the player at risk.
The dealer fanned out the 2♥K♠3♥ flop, keeping Klocker's pair of fives in the lead.
A 10♥ on the turn gave Hammann some extra outs in the form of a straight draw.
The Q♠ peeled off on the river, improving Hammann to a pair of queens to win the pot.
Klocker ventured the rail in ninth-place, and the remaining players bagged up their chips and will return on Tuesday, March 10, to play out the final table.
