Sontheimer Busts in Three-Way all In

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised to 12,000 from early position and Steffen Sontheimer moved all in for 34,000 from the cutoff. Aidyn Auyezkanov, who finished third in this very event last year, called out of the big blind, and then faced the raise to 80,000 by Chidwick. Auyezkanov called and the flop fell {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

"You have one green chip left?" Chidwick asked Auyezkanov after he had checked, and then the Brit bet 20,000. Within two seconds, the player from Kazakhstan check-raised all in for 133,000 and Chidwick called it off with slightly more chips.

Steffen Sontheimer: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Aidyn Auyezkanov: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Stephen Chidwick: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

Sontheimer was in need of running outs to triple up, and the {3-Diamonds} turn was a start. However, a blank {7-Clubs} on the river gave him only an inferior set and he was eliminated. Chidwick took a massive hit to his stack and has 10 big blinds remaining.
