Klemens Roiter Eliminated in 7th Place ($159,884)
Level 21
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Klemens Roiter jammed for 1,190,000 from the small blind and Artur Martirosian decided to take him for a spin from the big blind.
Klemens Roiter: A♦J♣
Artur Martirosian: Q♦10♠
Roiter had just made a correct fold with top pair moments earlier and now found a great spot to double back to a more playable stack.
Roiter stayed ahead on the A♥K♠10♣ flop where both players paired up and picked up a straight draw. The 8♣ turn meant only a jack or ten would end Roiter's tournament run in seventh place.
The dealer burned a card and produced the brutal J♥ river to complete the board, sending Roiter to the rail as the first elimination of the day with $159,884 for his efforts.
