Vesa Leikos Eliminated in 8th Place ($16,000)

Vesa Leikos - 8th Place
Vesa Leikos - 8th Place
We had barely settled back into our seats after the stunningly quick elimination of Kim Tae Hyung when Vesa Leikos opened all in from early position for 92,000 chips. Action passed to Casey Kastle, who asked for a count. Once the amount was confirmed, Kastle called. Everyone else folded.

Leikos: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Kastle: {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}

It was almost a carbon copy of the Hyung elimination hand, and it brought similar results. It was a nine in the window for Kastle on a flop of {A-Clubs} {6-Spades} {9-Hearts}. Leikos was drawing dead on the {3-Clubs} turn. Once the river fell {5-Diamonds}, he was escorted off of the stage to the payout window.

Two hands, two eliminations! Can we go three for three?
