Bruno "great dant" Volkmann limp-called in the small blind when Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph raised to 525,000 in the big blind. The flop checked through and Volkmann led out on the turn with a bet of 740,685, which Rudolph called. Volkmann fired for 1.7 million on the river and Rudolph made the call.

Volkmann tabled for a pair of eights but Rudolph had the better hand with for two-pair. The pot gave Rudolph a sizable chip lead.
