Action folded to Antti Perttula, who open-shoved 5,050,000 from the Small Blind. Martin Piik checked his hole cards, then made the call comfortably.
Antti Perttula: K♥8♠
Martin Piik: 9♦9♠
“Now I need a miracle,” Perttula realized. The Poker Gods heard his prayers; Perttula clinched his fist in a victorious gesture as the dealer revealed the K♣3♥5♦ flop. Piik wasn’t able to catch up on the 5♥7♣ runout. “That was ugly, Martin, but I guess I have to go,” Perttula acknowledged he got lucky.
The very next hand, short-stacked Victor Amat moved all in for 3,175,000 from the Cut-off. Piik re-shoved from the Small Blind, and the two contestants soon tabled their holdings.
Victor Amat: A♣10♦
Martin Piik: 8♥8♦
Piik maintained his lead on the Q♦3♠K♥ flop, but Amat did pick up additional outs. Status quo on the K♠ turn, but a dramatic A♠ saw Amat staying alive. After two unfortunate hands, Piik has now lost the majority of his stack.
Antti Perttula: 10,600,000
Victor Amat: 7,350,000
Martin Piik: 4,500,000
