Stefan Hjorthall Eliminated in 9th Place ($31,222)

Stefan Hjorthall - 9th Place
Stefan Hjorthall - 9th Place
Having been whittled down to 250,000 chips by blinds, antes and lost pots, Stefan Hjorthall opted to open-raise all in. Action passed to fellow Swede Pontus Kers, who re-raised all in. His re-raise folded the blinds and took us to our first all in showdown of the day.

Hjorthall: {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
Kers: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}

It was a flip, as s so often the case in tournament poker. Kers won the flip by pairing queens on the flop, {Q-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}, and having them hold on the {A-Clubs} turn and {2-Spades} river. Stefan Hjorthall therefore became the first player eliminated from this final table.
