Four-Time Bracelet Holder Dominik Nitsche Hits The Rail

First to act Dominik Nitsche limps once more and fills up small blind Stephen Song's 50,000 raise. Song puts the German all-in on the 9♦ T♣ 5♠ flop, who makes the call for his last 155,000.

No two-outer for Nitsche when the board completes A♦ Q♠ and we have the Final 9 set. Still four places away from the money.
Gavin Chips Up
A limped pot between three players gets checked to the turn 6♠ 8♠ Q♦ 3♦ where small blind Gavin tests the waters for 15,000 and takes cutoff Dominik Nitsche to the A♠ river, firing another 20,000 to scoop the pot.
