Stefan Hjorthall - 9th Place

Having been whittled down to 250,000 chips by blinds, antes and lost pots, Stefan Hjorthall opted to open-raise all in. Action passed to fellow Swede Pontus Kers, who re-raised all in. His re-raise folded the blinds and took us to our first all in showdown of the day.

Hjorthall: {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

Kers:

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

It was a flip, as s so often the case in tournament poker. Kers won the flip by pairing queens on the flop, {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

, and having them hold on the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

turn and

{2-Spades}

river. Stefan Hjorthall therefore became the first player eliminated from this final table.
