Mikko Pispala Eliminated in 12th Place ($15,196)

Level 23

Pot-Limit Omaha

Under the gun, John Monnette raised to 17,000, and Mikko Pispala reraised the pot. Monnette re-potted, and Pispala called all in for his remaining 89,000.

Showdown
Monnette: {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {10-Spades} {7-Clubs}
Pispala: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

The board ran out in Monnette's favor, coming {9-Hearts} {8-Spades} {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}. A straight beats a pair of aces every day, and Pispala's chips were shipped across the felt. He's out in 12th place, good for a pay bump up to $15,196.
