Takahashi Eliminated Short of the Money

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Joao Vieira opened to 16,000 and Keiji Takahashi three-bet all in for 63,000. It folded back to Vieira who called.

Joao Vieira: {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Keiji Takahashi: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} leaving Vieira open-ended. The turn was the {j-Diamonds} giving Takahashi top pair, but the river {5-Hearts} completed Vieira's straight and eliminated Takahashi.

"King-eight, huh?" asked Martin Czuczor as Vieira took down the pot.

Play is now hand-for-hand on the money bubble. Just 20 players will be guaranteed €43,870.
