Hand #12: Christoph Köhnen Eliminated in 9th Place ($58,248)

Christoph Kohnen - 9th Place

Rasmus Nielsen had the button. John Conroy raised to 86,000 from early position, and it folded around to Christoph Köhnen who pushed all in from the small blind for 174,000 total.

Conroy thought a bit, then called.

Köhnen {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Conroy {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

The flop came {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, giving Conroy a straight draw. The turn was the {3-Spades}, and Köhnen was still ahead. The river was the {10-Diamonds}, giving Conroy the straight and eliminating Köhnen in ninth.
