Christoph Vogelsang

Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 1,600,000 on the button and Christoph Vogelsang ripped all in for 12,900,000 in the small blind. Chin Wei Lim asked for a count in the big blind before making the call. Thorel thought for a moment as well but decided to lay his hand down.

Chin Wei Lim: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Christoph Vogelsang: {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Lim was in a dominating lead against Vogelsang and the flop of {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} left it that way. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} which left Vogelsang with just two outs. The {q-Hearts} completed the board and Vogelsang was eliminated in fourth place.
