Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Kimmo Kurko opened before Mathieu Bonnet raised to 60,000 from the next seat over. The rest of the table got out of the way and Kurko called.

The flop was 5♠6♥K♥ and Kurko check-called a 60,000 bet from Bonnet to see 8♥ on the turn.

Kurko checked again and called when Bonnet went all in for around 100,000. Bonnet turned over 8♦7♦ for a straight draw, but Kurko had the lead with A♦K♣ and a pair of kings.

The board finished up with Q♠ and that was no help for Bonnet to stay in the tournament.
