Martin Vittek Eliminated in 3rd Place (€60,850)
A hand after doubling up Stepan Budac, Jan Kohl raised to 2,500,000 in the small blind and Martin Vittek moved all in from the big blind. Kohl called for his last 17,000,000.
Jan Kohl: A♣10♥
Martin Vittek: A♠8♣
The Q♠Q♦J♦ flop left open the possibility of a chop, but the 5♠ turn and 7♥ river kept Kohl in the lead with his ten-kicker and earned him a double up, while Vittek was left with less than a big blind.
The next hand, Kohl limped in from the button and Vittek tossed in his last 900,000 in the small blind. Budac checked his option.
Kohl and Budac checked to the turn on a board of 4♣4♥3♦9♣, when a bet of 1,000,000 from Budac was enough to chase away Kohl.
Budac showed 10♥9♥ for two pair, while Vittek had a straight draw with 5♥2♣. The river was the 8♥ and Budac won the pot to send Vittek to the rail in third place.
