Thomas Kuess Eliminated in 2nd Place ($143,258)

Kirk Brown

Level 40 : Blinds 1,300,000/2,500,000, 0 ante

Christopher Moen raised to 7,500,000 preflop, and Thomas Kuess called to see a flop of K♣10♥2♠.

Both players then checked and went to the turn 8♦. Kuess then announced he was all in and Moen quickly called to put him at risk, a bracelet on the line.

Thomas Kuess: 9♣10♦
Christopher Moen: K♠10♠

"Wow, I'm drawing dead..." Kuess sighed as he realized the bracelet was no longer within his grasp; Moen already had two pair.

The river was just a formality as it came the A♣ and Moen was shipped the pot for the win while Kuess was named the runner-up.

Cody Chung moved all in preflop and was called by Thomas Kuess to put him at risk of elimination.

Cody Chung: A♥8♥ All in
Thomas Kuess: Q♠3♦

Chung was ahead of Kuess with his ace-high, but the flop of K♠Q♦9♥ put Kuess in the lead with his pair of queens. The turn 7♥ gave Chung some extra outs with a flush draw, but the river 9♣ was a brick that sent him to the rail for a third-place finish.

Level 40 : Blinds 1,300,000/2,500,000, 0 ante

Cal Nailn opened to 5,000,000 and was then three-bet to 17,000,000 by big stack Christopher Moen. Nailn then gave Moen a good staredown before he announced he was all in for over 30,000,000.

Moen asked for a count but even before the dealer could finish he made the call to put Nailn at risk in a massive pot.

Cal Nailn: K♣3♣ All in
Christopher Moen: A♠10♣

Nailn needed to improve to stay alive in this one, but the runout of 8♦5♣Q♠10♦J♠ only improved Moen to a pair of tens and he was sent out in sixth place while the monstrous pot was shipped over to Moen.

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Christopher Moen had made it 3,800,000 to go and then Daniel Hirose moved all in for 6,600,000 total , which Moen called when it folded back to him.

Daniel Hirose: A♥10♣ All in
Christopher Moen: A♣8♦

It looked like Hirose was in a great spot to double, at least until the turn was the 5♠7♦5♥8♥ to give Moen the lead with his pair of eights and the river 6♠ bricked to send him to the exit in seventh place.

Guilherme De Castro: A♠J♣ All in
Christopher Moen: A♦K♥

De Castro would need to improve to stay alive against Moen, but the runout of 7♣5♥4♠9♠3♦ failed to do so and he was sent to the payout desk in eighth place.
