Johnny Lodden Eliminated in 2nd Place ($182,700)
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Dawid Smolka raised the button to 750,000 and Johnny Lodden defended the big blind.
Lodden checked the A?10?8? flop and Smolka bet 600,000. Lodden check-raised to 1,500,000 and after a few moments, Smolka three-bet to 3,700,000. Lodden thought it over for a while and then four-bet ripped it for 11,400,000. Smolka called with the chance to win the tournament.
Johnny Lodden: J?9? 
Dawid Smolka: A?K?
Smolka was ahead with top pair, but Lodden had a straight draw. The 5? came on the turn to give Lodden also a flush draw. However, a blank 4? came on the river and Smolka was the winner of the record-breaking high roller event.
