Ole Schemion Eliminated in 12th Place ($15,980)
Level 20
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Juha Helppi opened from under the gun, Ole Schemion potted from the cutoff, Helppi four-bet to 1,675,000, and Schemion called, leaving 100,000 behind.
The flop came 7♣8♥3♣. Helppi bet enough to put Schemion all-in, and Schemion called, putting his tournament life at risk.
"Very big flop for me" Helppi commented before the cards were turned on their backs.
Ole Schemion: K♦Q♠J♦10♥ 
Juha Helppi: A♣A♦9♥6♣
Schemion was drawing very thin with king-high and backdoor outs to a straight, while Helppi was a massive favorite with an overpair, open-ended straight draw, and the nut-flush draw. Schemion was drawing dead by the turn as the 2♣4♠ runout gave Helppi the nut-flush to end Schemion's run in twelfth place.
