Michael Weyer Eliminated in 12th Place ($53,072)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

Michael Weyer Eliminated in 12th Place

From under the gun, Sami Kelopuro raised to 80,000 and Dario Alioto called on the button. Michael Weyer was in the big blind and reraised all in for 225,000 total. After some thought, Kelopuro reraised all in himself and Alioto got out of the way.

Kelopuro: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Weyer: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The flop hit Kelopuro hard when it landed the {j-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Not only did he hit a set to put him in the lead, he also flopped an up and down straight draw that took away Weyer's ability to regain the lead with a set of Kings. The turn was the {9-Spades} which gave Weyer some hope but ultimately the {6-Diamonds} river sealed his fate.

Kelopuro now has 1.1 million chips and we are just one elimination away from our unofficial final table.
