Matthias Eibinger Eliminated in 3rd Place (€174,070)

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Matthias Eibinger

Chin Wei Lim eyed up the stack from the small blind and announced all in. Matthias Eibinger was in the big blind sitting on a stack of just over 1,200,000 but it was the shortest among the three. Eibinger made the call but didn't like the result.

Chin Wei Lim: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Matthias Eibinger: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The flop came {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades} which missed both players meaning Lim's ace-high was still in the lead. The {9-Hearts} on the turn gave Eibinger a few extra outs but the {q-Clubs} paired the board and Eibinger was eliminated in third place.

The remaining two players are taking a quick break before heads-up action resumes.

Jun Obara ripped all in for around 475,000 on the button and Chin Wei Lim asked for a count from the small blind. Lim re-shoved all in and Timothy Adams folded his big blind.

Jun Obara: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

The flop of {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} left Lim in the lead with his pocket queens. The {5-Hearts} on the turn meant Obara was down to just three outs and the {8-Diamonds} on the river was not one of them.
