Paul Siem Eliminated in 42nd Place ($191,646)

Jan Heitmann opened for 175,000 and received a call from Russell Thomas. Paul Siem then moved all in for 1.57 million, Heitmann folded, and Thomas made the call.

Showdown
Siem: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Thomas: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Siem needed some help, and it looked like was going to get it as the {A-Clubs} appeared in the window. Much to his dismay, it was followed by the {4-Diamonds} and {Q-Hearts}, giving Thomas a set. The {4-Clubs} turn kept Siem alive and drawing to an ace on the river, but it wasn't in the cards as the {4-Spades} peeled off.

Siem shook hands with all of the remaining players at the feature table and then exited the Main stage in 42nd place.
