Gerald Karlic Eliminated in 2nd Place (€757,000)
In the very next hand, Daniel Pidun opened on the button to 1,200,000, and Gerald Karlic three-bet to 4,200,000. The four-bet to 10,500,000 by Pidun followed, and Karlic then jammed for 31,000,000 to get snap-called by Pidun, shaking his head in disbelief about the cooler for the gold bracelet.
Gerald Karlic: J♠J♣
Daniel Pidun: A♥A♣
Karlic had a sweat with the flush draw until the K♠10♦8♠10♠ turn, while Pidun's rail shouted, "Hold one time!" and hold it did, thanks to the K♣ on the river. Pidun jumped out of his chair in celebration and raised both arms in the air before embracing Karlic shortly thereafter.
The runner-up finish of Karlic was rewarded with a consolation prize of €757,000, while Pidun earned his first gold bracelet and the top prize of €1,140,000.
