Jens Glud Hansen Eliminated in 17th Place (€13,800)

As the action folded around to Jens Glud Hansen on the button, he made a not too surprising push for his short-stack in the hope that the two blinds held rags. Although Andrew Alan Chen quickly relinquished his small blind, Igor Rejdovjan asked for a count in the big.

After the dealer had counted out a total of 93,000, Rejdovjan paused momentarily before announcing call and sliding the necessary chips across the line. As Hansen dropped his {8-Spades}

onto the felt, he held his breath in the hope of over cards. To his delight, his opponent obliged by tabling {A-Clubs}

.

But this was only the half the battle, and as an ace came down it was looking bleak. "Yeeeeeeeeeeesssssss!!! exclaimed Redjdovjan, punching the air and leaning across the felt towards his opponent. It was at this point that he noticed that he wasn't as far ahead as he first thought as the flop had come {4-Spades}

to give Hansen a pair too.

The {5-Hearts}

changed nothing, but upon seeing the {5-Clubs}

river hit the felt, Redjdovjan once again celebrated raucously, before turning to his opponent, stabbing the air with his finger and shouting, "Thank you, sir!".

As an uncontrollably elated Redjdovjan continued to celebrate, a dejected Hansen simply retrieved his crutches from the table and hobbled away as our 17th place finisher.

"Slooooowrolled," observed Chen as he departed.
