Ruben Visser Eliminated in 14th Place (€13,274)

Just after being eliminated, Aurelien Guiglini stopped by the adjacent table to shake hands with Ruben Visser. Visser asked the details of his elimination hand before saying, "I'm going to be out soon, too. Or else big stack." Cue the dramatic foreshadowing.

On the very first hand, Visser moved all in for about 160,000 from middle position holding {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs}. Action folded all the way around to the big blind where Jeff Sarwer squeezed out {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} and made the quick call.

The board missed Visser completely, running {5-Spades} {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}. The Dutch pro managed to get his short stack in with live cards, but he was unable to improve to survive; Visser's day is done in 14th place.
