Seungjun Noh Elimimated in 10th Place ($44,573)
Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Kaihung Hu opened to 5,000,000 from early position and Seungjun Noh shoved from the small blind for around 7,000,000. Stefan Widmer then shoved for 17,000,000 in the small blind, and Hu made the call which put both players at risk.
Seungjun Noh: A♦3♣
Stefan Widmer: Q♥Q♦
Kaihung Hu: J♥J♦
Widmer, who was down to less than two big blinds not so long ago, now was in the driving seat to rake a pot worth over 40,000,000 chips. Hu would eliminate two opponents if he could find a way to win the hand, and Noh needed to beat both players to ensure survival.
The runout of 8♣5♥9♦3♠6♠ changed nothing which meant Noh was eliminated, and Widmer more than doubled up to bring himself back into contention.
