Stephen Kjaerstad Eliminated in 17th Place (£14,438)
Kjaerstad made a standard preflop raise from middle position, before being flat-called by Theo Jorgensen in the big blind.

"That's nice," observed Jorgensen as the turn came a decisive . The on the river was academic, and Kjaerstad was gone.
And on that note, the empty seat is filled by Jason Mercier, who comes armed with more racks than a torture chamber. Sixteen remain.
