Laitinen Eliminated by Bjorkheim
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jere Laitinen got it in via three-bet shove and was called by Anders Bjorkheim. The Finn was way ahead with A?A? versus A?J? but Bjorkheim flopped the nuts on the K?Q?10?5?9? runout.
"You saved me, I had king-queen suited," Taivo Sillaste in the small blind said.
In the meanwhile, Esko Brandt and Daniel Axelsson became contenders for the lead. Brandt raised big on the A?J?8?J? turn against Vadim Guk, who bet 85,000 and folded to a raise worth 250,000. Brandt showed the K?Q? for a gutshot straight and flush draw.
