Per Svensson Eliminated

Noble Simpson raised it up to 1,500 preflop before Per Svensson made it 4,000 to go. Simpson made the call.

They saw a flop of {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Simpson checked to Svensson, who moved all in for his last 13,000. Simpson snap-called and tabled {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} for top pair and nut flush draw, but he would need to hit, as Svensson showed {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {A-Hearts} but the river sealed the deal with the {8-Clubs} completing the flush and sending Svensson to the exit.
