Juha Vilkki limped in for 30,000 from the cutoff and Elie Payan called from the small blind. Stephen Wolfe checked his option on the big blind and we were off to the flop.
Flop: 
All three players checked it down and the turn card came 
. This time Payan fired a pot-sized bet of 90,000 into the middle and Wolfe threw his hand away. Vilkki re-potted and made it 360,000 to go, effectively committing himself to this hand with the bet. Payan three-bet for the pot and forced Vilkki all-in. The young Finn began shaking his had as if he knew he had made a mistake with his previous bet sizing, and although he seemed like he wanted to fold, he had too many chips invested at this point to surrender.
Vilkki made the call and flipped up his 
for a pair of sevens, a gutshot straight draw and flush draw. Payan revealed the 
for a flopped set of threes and was in good shape heading to the river.
River: 
With his rail calling for the board to pair, the dealer delivered and Juha Vilkki was eliminated from the tournament in 4th place, collecting $82,297 for his efforts. Payan now has a commanding chip lead entering three-handed play.
