Big-stacked Egidijus Matonis opened to 225,000 from the Lo-jack. Action eventually came to Anton Makejev in the Big Blind, who moved all in for 700,000. Matonis had an easy decision on his hands; he made the call.

Anton Makejev: 9♥9♦
Egidijus Matonis: Q♥Q♦

Quite unfortunate for Makejev, and just as the last time Matonis had queens, his hand was good once again, as the board this time spelled out 7♣7♥A♦A♥3♦. For finishing in sixteenth place, Makejev was awarded €7,980.
