Kristoffer Myhre - 24th Place

Daoxing Chen really liked the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

flop he took heads up with Kristoffer Myhre. After Myhre opened for 33,000, Chen raised to 90,000. It was a big decision for Myhre, who had only about 100,000 behind his original raise. He elected to put all those chips in the middle, with Chen quickly calling.

Myhre: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

Chen:

{8-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

Chen had flopped the smallest overpair along with an up-and-down straight draw. That was well ahead of Myhre's unimproved ace-queen. There was no Myhre-cle; the board safely blanked {j-Clubs}

{j-Clubs}

and

{3-Diamonds}

to give Chen the pot and to eliminate Myhre in 24th place.
