Simon Lindell was getting low and decided it was time to take a stand when he jammed from middle position for 860,000. Lindell was called by both blinds as Michel Molenaar called from the small blind, and Breno Drumond called from the big blind to put Lindell at risk while they played for a potential side pot.
Both Molenaar and Drumond checked the 6♦4♠Q♣ flop.
Molenaar opted to bet 480,000 on the 2♠ turn, which elicited a quick fold from Drumond to send Molenaar and Lindell to a showdown.
Simon Lindell: K♣5♣
Michel Molenaar: A♦Q♦
Lindell was drawing thin against the top pair of Molenaar, and the A♠ river was not what Lindell needed as he was eliminated in 10th place.
Lindell earned $29,750 for his finish.

Phil Ivey will not be the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event champion. The 11-time WSOP bracelet winner saw his tournament come to an end at the halfway point of Day 1d after losing a battle of the blinds to fellow poker pro Joseph Cheong.
While Ivey has achieved nearly everything the game has to offer, poker's World Championship continues to evade him. His deepest run came in 2009, when he finished seventh at the Main Event final table.
But 2025 won’t be the year he adds the most coveted title in poker to his résumé.

After the 6♠8♣4♣ flop, Brzeski checked to Molenaar, who bet out 400,000. Brzeski took some time, before moving all in for his stack of 1,700,000. Molenaar wasted no time and mucked his hand to give the pot to Brzeski.
