Jorn Walthaus Eliminated in 15th Place (HK$338,000)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

After coming out on the wrong side of a confrontation with Vladimir Troyanovskiy just two hands earlier, we found Jorn Walthaus open-ship all in from the hijack for his last 63,000. Joseph Cheong called from the cutoff and the rest of the table folded.

Cheong showed {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and needed to improve against Walthaus' {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} in order to score the elimination. The flop came out clean for Walthaus, falling {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. The {K-Clubs} on fourth street meant that Cheong needed an ace or a trey on the river in order to score the elimination.

Walthaus' fate changed that instant as the {A-Diamonds} finished off the board, giving Cheong top pair for the elimination. Walthaus collected HK$338,000 and Cheong brought his stack up to 465,000.
