The floor decided to commence with hand-by-hand play when 137 players remained. When 136 were left, there were four all-in and call-situations on four different table. Two of the short stacks doubled up, and another one was eliminated.
Cao Doan moved all in from the Button for 66,000, and Yngve Lommerud called from the Big Blind.
Cao Doan: K♥J♥
Yngve Lommerud: Q♠8♠
Doan took a solid lead on the 7♥6♦K♠, but as we all know, poker can be a brutal game sometimes. The board completed with 8♣Q♣, giving Lommerud a runner-runner two-pair. Such, Doan was eliminated in brutal fashion.
That means that the remaining 135 players all are in the money.
Yngve Lommerud: 645,000
Cao Doan: 0
