Rahmsdorf Makes Quick Work of Makonen
Joseph Williams opened for 450,000 and got an all-in three-bet shove from Alemu Makonen for 1,475,000 on the button. After asking for a count, Sven Rahmsdorf in the small blind, announced four-bet all-in, as well, for 6,700,000.
With action back to him, Williams asked for a count and went into deep thought. After a few seconds and with only about the same amount as Rahmsdorf, Williams decided to fold, leaving the two players to go to showdown.
Alemu Makonen: A♥K♦ 
Sven Rahmsdorf: J♥J♣
The flop made Makonen stand up from his chair when it dropped 2♠5♣J♠ giving Rahmsdorf a set. The turn sealed the deal when the board paired with 5♠ strengthening Rahmsdorf hand, improving it into a full house.
The river 4♣ was a formality. Rahmsdorf scooped the pot as Makonen left the tournament floor.
