Mike Wattel: {x-} {x-} / {J-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {3-Hearts} / {x-}
Viktor Blom: {x-} {x-} / {K-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {2-Spades} {K-Diamonds} / {x-}

Mike Wattel completed and Viktor Blom raised. Wattel called and then called all in on fourth street. He revealed the {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} to have ace-jack high. Blom held the {K-Hearts} {9-Spades} for a pair of kings.

Blom's hand ran out best with him finish with the {3-Diamonds} on the end and trip kings. Wattel's board ran out to give him just a pair of tens with the {10-Diamonds} on seventh.

Blom won the pot and Wattel was eliminated in 15th place for $91,549. The remaining 14 players have locked up $105,235.
