Eric Tsai Eliminated in 2nd Place (€891,000)
Eric Tsai raised to 1,200,000 from the button and Max Neugebauer defended with J♠8♣.
Neugebauer paired up on the Q♦8♦7♥ flop but Tsai had plenty of outs with his straight flush draw. Neugebauer check-called for 1,000,000.
The A♠ kept Neugebauer ahead. He checked for a second time and Tsai bet big, sizing up to 6,300,000 into a pot of 5,000,000. Neugebauer stuck around.
The 4♠ completed the board and Neugebauer checked. Tsai emptied the clip and shoved for his last 16,000,000. Neugebauer went deep into the tank and asked for a count.
Neugebauer removed his sunglasses and continued to replay the hand over in his head.
The Austrian ended up calling and the cards went on their backs.
Eric Tsai: J♦9♦
Max Neugebauer: J♠8♣
Neugebauer pulled off an incredible hero call with just a pair of eights and caught Tsai bluffing with jack-high, to seal the victory.
His rail went wild before Tsai and Neugebauer shook hands.
That's a hand-of-the-year candidate right there!
