Harald Sammer Eliminated in 10th place ($23,828)
Niveau 25
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Harald Sammer has popped the final table bubble by busting in 10th in a gargantuan three-way pot vs. Ari Engel and Wilbern Hoffman. Preflop, Hoffman opened for 100,000 and Sammer shoved for 990,000. Engel asked for a count, then announced that he too was all in. Back to Hoffman, who snap-called too.
Sammer: 
Hoffman: 
Engel: 
(putting both of the near evenly stacked shorter players at risk)
When the flop of 
brought two pair for Sammer, Hoffman, standing, uttered a short Anglo-Saxon expletive. The turn was the innocuous 
but the river paired the seven with the 
.
"Aces, you won," it was pointed out to Hoffman who was still in the thrall of the flop suckout. He bent double, then picked himself, and his large new stack, up.
