Michael Kainz and Joost Winjen Eliminated in One Fell Swoop

Kainz: enjoying being all in on the big blind
Kainz: enjoying being all in on the big blind
Michael Kainz looked incredibly cheerful given that once he'd put his big blind in he had just 3,000 chips behind.

Nevertheless, Mark Vos raised, and to his left Joost Winjen moved all in, apparently unaware that Vos had raised. They agreed though that they were all happy to be all in anyway (although Kainz happily pretended for a moment that he might fold), and they turned over their cards.

Kainz: {K-Spades} {10-Diamonds}
Vos: {K-Clubs} {6-Spades}
Winjen: {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}

Board: {9-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

Thus Vos enjoyed a most unlikely victory, and both Kainz and Winjen hit the rail in seventh and sixth places respectively.
