Seyoon Lim Eliminated in 5th Place ($79,700)

Niveau 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Action folded to Seyoon Lim in the small blind who jammed a short stack. Michael Acevedo was in the big blind and after checking his cards, quickly made the call to put Lim at risk and headed to a runout.

Seyoon Lim: Q♣3♥
Michael Acevedo: A♠J♠

The 9♣3♦6♣ flop was a good one for Lim as he jumped into the lead with two cards to come, but the board pairing 9♠ turn card provided Acevedo with extra outs for the win.

The 6♠ river provided one of those newly acquired outs and gave him the best hand, sending Lim to the payout window in fifth place for $79,700.

Raus Takes Over the Chip Lead

Niveau 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Josef Snejberg raised to 2,000,000 from the button and found one caller in Martin Raus from the big blind before seeing the flop come 2♦A♣10♦.

Raus checked over to Snejberg who continued with a bet of 1,300,000. Raus thought for a short time before making the call and watching as the J♦ hit the turn.

Raus checked it to Snejberg again and again, Snejberg reached into his stack and came back with a bet in the amount of 3,200,000. Raus decided on making the check-call again to see the 2♣ fall on the river.

Raus checked a third time and once more, Snejberg went into his stack and came out with a huge stack of chips good for a bet of 11,000,000. Raus asked the amount before quickly flicking in a call to see that Snejberg was on the three-barrel bluff when he turned over the K♠4♠.

Raus quickly tabled the A♠10♣ and collected a pot that made him the newly minted chip leader with almost double his next closest competitor.
