Toni Hiltunen Eliminated in 8th Place (£108,600)

Toni Hiltunen - 8th Place
Toni Hiltunen - 8th Place
Hand #50:

Ivan Demidov has the button in Seat 6. Stanislav Alekhin opens with a raise to 42,000 from under the gun and the action folds around to Toni Hiltunen who re-raises, making it a total of 100,000 to go. Alekhin, always methodical, thinks for a bit before putting Toni to a decision for all of his chips. Hiltunen makes the call and a showdown ensues:

Hiltunen: {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}
Alekhin: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

By the turn, the board had run out queen-high -- {3-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {6-Spades} {Q-Hearts} -- and Hiltunen was drawing dead. The river, though irrelevant, was the {K-Hearts}.

Alekhin improved to 2,187,000 in chips after the hand. Hiltunen will take home £108,600 in prize money for his efforts.
