Morten Klein Eliminated in 12th Place ($200,000)
Level 17
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Morten Klein jammed under the gun for 1,150,000 and Markkos Ladev made the call from the big blind blind to put Klein at risk.
Morten Klein: 7♠4♣
Markkos Ladev: A♥5♣
Klein was on the verge of being forced to commit most of his stack in the next hand, so he chose to go with this hand.
Klein had live cards heading to the Q♣6♥10♥ flop, which kept Ladev's ace-high in the lead. The 10♠ turn meant only a seven or four on the river would save Klein. A J♥ completed the board and Klein was sent to the rail in 12th place.
At the other table just before Klein was eliminated, Eric Wasserson was seen leaving the tournament area as he was the first player of the day to bust in 13th-place.
