Elton Malaj Eliminated in 22nd Place (€2,284)
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Elton Malaj pushed all-in from early position, prompting Dirk Schumacher in middle position to ask the dealer for a chip count. After confirming it was 43,000, Schumacher decided to go all in himself, and with no one else interested in joining the fray, the cards were turned over for showdown.
Elton Malaj: 9?8?
Dirk Schumacher: A?Q?
The flop brought a glimmer of hope for Malaj as it showed 4?9?7?, giving him a pair of nines.
However, that hope quickly faded when the Q? hit the turn, giving Schumacher the upper hand.
The 5? on the river offered no help to Malaj, and he was sent packing, leaving Schumacher to claim the pot.
