The runner-up from last year's Grand Final, Denes Kalo, was recently eliminated in a hand where he tangled with Marcel Luske. Kalo moved all in on the turn of a A-J-9-A board and Luske called him down. When they flipped up their cards Kalo was looking good with pocket nines in the hole until Luske revealed pocket jacks to win the hand and eliminate Kalo from the event.
