Bruno Furth Eliminated in 2nd Place ($508,705)
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Limits: 300,000-1,050,000
Philip Sternheimer raised to 750,000 on the button and Bruno Furth defended his big blind.
Furth led out for 1,100,000 on the 2♥9♦Q♥ flop, and Sternheimer potted it to around 5,100,000. Furth thought for a few moments, and then jammed for 7,650,000 total. Sternheimer snap-called.
Bruno Furth: K♦J♥5♣3♥ 
Philip Sternheimer: Q♦Q♠J♦9♠
Sternheimer had top set, but Furth had many outs he could hit to scoop himself.
The 4♠ fell on the turn to give Furth even more outs to scoop, and now he had a low draw to chop the pot. However, the board-pairing 2♠ landed on the river to improve Sternheimer to a full house, and he won the tournament, eliminating Furth in second place.
