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.
