Laihinen Coolers Muhr Blind on Blind; Auer Leaves Wang on Fumes
In a blind versus blind battle, Pasi Laihinen and Fabio Muhr got all of their chips in the middle before the flop.
Fabio Muhr: J♦J♠ 
Pasi Laihinen: K♣K♥
Muhr found his jacks crushed against Laihinen's kings, and the board ran out 8♦2♣Q♠3♦5♣ to earn Laihinen the pot. The stacks were counted down, and Laihinen had Muhr's remaining 340,000 covered to send him to the rail.
At another table, Matthias Auer had opened to 25,000 in early position and Chaofei Wang called in the big blind.
The flop came 7♦8♣J♦ and Auer bet another 25,000. Wang then moved all in, and Auer called for 144,000.
Matthias Auer: K♥K♠
Chaofei Wang: A♦8♦
"Fair fight," Auer said as he needed his kings to hold on against Wang's pair and flush draw. The Q♣ turn was safe, while the river was the 6♥ and Auer doubled up, leaving Wang on a short stack.
