After Moritz Koelsch had raised, Zhong Chen three-bet shoved 170,000 from the big blind. Reluctantly, Koelsch called it off. Once all hands on the other tables were completed, the players went to showdown.
Zhong Chen: 
Moritz Koelsch:

turn nor river turned it around, making him the last player to leave empty-handed. All 115 other players are guaranteed at least €1,793.
