Jorn Walthaus Eliminated in 15th Place (HK$338,000)
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
After coming out on the wrong side of a confrontation with Vladimir Troyanovskiy just two hands earlier, we found Jorn Walthaus open-ship all in from the hijack for his last 63,000. Joseph Cheong called from the cutoff and the rest of the table folded.
Cheong showed 
and needed to improve against Walthaus' 
in order to score the elimination. The flop came out clean for Walthaus, falling 
. The 
on fourth street meant that Cheong needed an ace or a trey on the river in order to score the elimination.
Walthaus' fate changed that instant as the 
finished off the board, giving Cheong top pair for the elimination. Walthaus collected HK$338,000 and Cheong brought his stack up to 465,000.
