Takumi Samejima Eliminated in 22nd Place (₩4,060,000)

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Takumi Samejima

With about 50,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Takumi Samejima was under the gun and heads-up with Scott Janik in the big blind. Samejima had already committed 20,000 chips and was facing a decision for a total of 45,000 from Janik. After some thought, Samejima reraised to 135,000. Janik took a few moments before he shoved for about 500,000, putting Samejima to a decision for his stack of approximately 400,000. Samejima called fairly quickly and the two players tabled their hands.

Janik: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Samejima: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Samejima had flopped aces up but was way behind Janik's flopped set of jacks and needed an ace in order to preserve his tournament life. The {8-Hearts} turn gave both players boats but Janik's was bigger and Samejima still needed help with one card to come. The {2-Diamonds} river changed nothing and Janik took the massive pot to send Samejima to the cage.
