Matthew Blagg Eliminated in 14th Place ($30,100)
Level 42
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Minjoo Cho raised to 5,000,000 from the hijack. Karabet Keshishyan called from the cutoff, and Matthew Blagg did likewise from the small blind.
The flop hit J♦2♦K♣. Choo bet out again, this time for 5,500,000. Keshishyan called.
Blagg moved all in with a little over 8,000,000. Choo and Keshishyan each called.
The 10♥ hit on the turn. Choo fired a third time, this one was for 12,500,000.
Keshishyan raised all in for 40,500,000.
Choo gave it a little thought before pushing forward some chips to make the call.
Matthew Blagg: K♦J♠
Karabet Keshishyan: A♠Q♣
Minjoo Cho: K♥10♣
A dastardly turn had given Choo two pair, but nailed a gutshot straight for Keshishyan. Blagg had outs for a chop, but the 5♦ on the river wasn't one of them.
