Defending Champion "xnrobix" Eliminated

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
xnrobix eliminated by jedimaster82
xnrobix eliminated by jedimaster82

Most of the damage was done when "xnrobix" could not hold up with {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} against the {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} of Joni "bustoville" Jouhkimainen when they got it in after a {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop.

The {7-Diamonds} turn failed to improve Jouhkimainen but he hit the gutshot thanks to the {4-Clubs} river.

One hand later, the defending champion was all in from the button for two and a half blinds and "jedimaster82" called in the big blind.

"xnrobix": {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
"jedimaster82": {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}

Aces remained in the lead on the {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop and {6-Hearts} turn but it was a narrow one. The {q-Diamonds} river indeed improved "jedimaster82" and that reduced the field to the final 20 contenders.
