James Leonard Eliminated in 6th Place ($268,520)
Level 42
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
The action folded to James Leonard on the button and he pushed all-in for 37,500,000 as the second-shortest stack. Ivan Ruban in the small blind had even fewer chips behind and glanced at the tournament info screen before folding the 6♣5♣.
Chip leader Klemens Roiter in the big blind asked for a count and then called.
James Leonard: A♦8♥ 
Klemens Roiter: A♠9♣
Both had nearly identical strong aces and hit their kickers on the 9♦8♣7♠ flop to leave Leonard in rough shape. The 9♥ turn improved Roiter to unbeatable trips and that made the J♥ river a formality. Roiter scored the second elimination of this final day and Leonard bowed out in sixth place for $268,520.
