Ole Steinvik Eliminated in 23rd Place ($9,725)

Ole Steinvik has been eliminated from the field. He was involved in a three-way pot that was raised from early position to 13,000 by Kenny Hicks, and then called by David Chiu from the button. Steinvik called as well from the big blind.

The flop was big and well-connected, {J-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {6-Hearts}. Steinvik executed a stop-and-go against his two opponents by immediately moving all in for 50,000. That was enough to fold Hicks. Chiu went into the tank for a minute before calling. It turned out that he had a very similar hand to Steinvik.

Steinvik: {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts}
Chiu: {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

Both players were on the same heart draw, but Chiu's draw was bigger. The turn and river blanked out {Q-Spades} {6-Diamonds} to allow Chiu to win the pot with his naked ace and knock out Steinvik.
