Steve Vang Eliminated in 4th Place ($24,361)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Steve Vang - 4th Place
Steve Vang - 4th Place

Ervin Bjerga raised to 80,000 under the gun, and Steve Vang pushed in for 307,000 in the big blind. Bjerga called.

Bjerga: {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Vang: {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} flop gave Bjerga a leading pair, but he still had plenty of outs to fade as Vang had a straight draw and an overcard. Running {4-Spades} and {4-Hearts} hit the board, and Vang is done in fourth.

Ervin Bjerga bet 30,000 from the small blind on a board of {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, and Dennis Stevermer made it 100,000. Bjerga clicked it back to 170,000, and Stevermer called. On the {j-Clubs} river, Bjerga bet tiny, 60,000. Stevermer called immediately.

"I've got the bottom end," Bjerga said. "You have the top?"

Stevermer affirmed he did, flipping {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.
