Matthias Gude Eliminated in 3rd Place (€51,350)
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Matthias Gude moved all in for 5,800,000 in the small blind, and Darius Neagoe waited for the dealer to confirm the amount before calling.
Matthias Gude: A♠7♠
Darius Neagoe: A♥8♣
Gude was dominated and at risk going to the flop, which came Q♣5♠2♣. The 2♠ turn gave him a flush draw while also opening the possibility of a chop, but Neagoe remained ahead on the 4♦ river to send Gude to the rail in third place.
"My friend. Good luck. Can I have a smoke break now?" Rene Schnitzler asked Neagoe as he came over to shake his hand. Neagoe agreed, and they headed off on a five-minute break before beginning heads-up play.
