Lichtenberger and Finger Depart

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Andrew Lichtenberger
Andrew Lichtenberger

Yaxi Zhu opened with a raise from the hijack only to have Andrew Lichtenberger three-bet all in for 28,000 from the small blind. Connor Drinan folded the big and Zhu called to put "Lucky Chewy" at risk.

Lichtenberger: {k-}{k-}
Zhu: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Lichtenberger was ahead, and he even improved to top set on the {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop. However, it was no good as Zhu had flopped Broadway. Lichtenberger needed to pair the board to stay alive, but that didn't happen as the {4-Clubs} blanked on the turn followed by the {5-Hearts} on the river.

Meanwhile, Martin Finger's comeback fell short as he was also eliminated from the tournament.
