Stephen Kjaerstad Eliminated in 17th Place (£14,438)

They're dropping like bungee jumping elephants now that we've surpassed the bubble, the latest player to munch on the bitter taste of dust being Scandinavian pro Stephen Kjaerstad.

Kjaerstad made a standard preflop raise from middle position, before being flat-called by Theo Jorgensen in the big blind. On the {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{J-Diamonds} flop, Jorgensen checked, Kjaerstad made a continuation bet of 21,500, and Jorgensen deep-reached for a tall stack of blue chips. After a momentary hesitation, Kjaerstad called all in.

Jorgensen = {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Kjaerstad = {7-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}

"That's nice," observed Jorgensen as the turn came a decisive {Q-Spades}. The {J-Clubs} 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.
