Leon Sturm Eliminated in 5th Place ($200,800)
Niveau 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Teun Mulder opened to 150,000 from the cutoff and Juan Pardo three-bet to 425,000 from the button. Leon Sturm used a time extension before calling in the big blind, leaving just 45,000 behind. Mulder opted to fold.
The flop came Q?8?2? and Sturm quickly got his last 45,000 in against Pardo.
Leon Sturm: A?A?
Juan Pardo: K?8?
Sturm's aces were well ahead on the flop but Pardo made two pair on the K? turn to take the lead. Sturm found no help on the 9? river and was sent to the rail in fifth place while Pardo continued to distance himself from the rest of the field.
