Omar Lahkdari picked up

. The flop came down 
and Cruz called a 100,000 bet from Lahkdari.
The 
on the turn paired Cruz up, but his hand was still inferior to Lahkdari’s aces. Lahkdari checked, Cruz bet 100,000, Lahkdari check-raised to 375,000 and Cruz called.
On the 
river, Lahkdari went all in to put Cruz to a decision for his remaining 421,000. Cruz removed his sunglasses to observe the situation more closely, then put them back on. He stood up from his chair, then sat down and made the last call he’d make this tournament.
Cruz saw a fantastic three-day run come to an end and he received €28,141 ($31,744) for his accomplishment.
