Wilhelm Doubles to Gain Huge Chip Lead
Daniel Bang-Ortmann raised the button to 700,000 and Sascha Wilhelm defended his big blind.
Wilhelm checked the 6♠9♠4♦ flop and Bang-Ortmann quickly fired a continuation-bet of 1,200,000. Wilhelm continued in the form of a call.
Another check came from Wilhelm on the J♣ turn, causing Bang-Ortmann to bet 1,500,000. Wilhelm took a few moments then check-jammed for 9,175,000. Bang-Ortmann burned through a time bank before making the call, giving himself a chance to win the tournament.
Sascha Wilhelm: J♥8♦7♣6♥ 
Daniel Bang-Ortmann: A♥9♥8♠6♦
Wilhelm was in the lead, having turned a higher two pair, but Bang-Ortmann still had outs with one card to come.
The dealer burned a card and peeled off the 6♣ on the river, giving both players a boat. Wilhelm scored the huge double-up with the higher full house in sixes full of jacks, and the pot went over to him.
