The famous Finnish player Sami “Lrslzk” Kelopuro went home after Muehloecker, taking 6th place and receiving $43,491. Kelopuro dropped out according to the same scenario as the previous player. The only difference was that Finn had 2.5 BB left.
The 5th place and 57,139 USD went to a German player with the nickname “Sintoras”. The German had less than 10 BB, which he lost to Sweeney. Despite the fact that Sweeney won the “Sintoras” stack, he had to stop at the 3rd line. Sweeney did not cope with Alberto Meran and received $75,072. The remaining trio of grinders played several hands, then stopped the game, deciding to discuss the deal.
After the deal was concluded, Alex “FutureofMe” Kulev was the first to be eliminated, receiving $126,382. Kulev’s opponents beat him twice before Aido took the player’s remaining chips. This gave Aido an advantage against Alberto Merano. The first one had 9,772,616 chips, the second one had 7,027,384. It didn’t take long for Aido to finish off his opponent.
