fell on the turn and Sion bet. Becker had less than two big bets behind, gave it brief consideration and moved all in, which Sion quickly called.

for a flush and low draw
Elior Sion: 
for a flopped full house
Becker was looking for a low card to chop it up and stay in contention, but instead the 
on the river gave Sion quads instead and Becker was eliminated in 2nd place for a payday of $862,649. The German missed out on his first gold bracelet on the 27th birthday, while Sion has been crowned champion.
