Martin Dam Eliminated in 15th Place (€17,100)
Level 16
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
With the board reading A♣J♣5♠, Martin Dam checked from the big blind and Aki Vihikainen bet 105,000 from the cutoff. Dam check-raised to 325,000, and Vihikainen called.
On the 7♥ turn Dam bet 840,000, committing most of his stack. Vihikainen raised with a covering stack, and Dam called, putting his tournament life at risk.
Martin Dam: Q♣J♠6♠5♣ 
Aki Vihikainen: A♠K♥7♠5♦
Both players had two pair, but Vihikainen was ahead with aces and sevens against Dams Jacks and Fives. The Q♦ river improved Dam to queens and jacks, but it was not enough and he was sent to the rail.
