Aug 25, 2020

It’s back-to-back eliminations on this final table, with the action coming down to another blind vs blind spot. This time chip leader Andrey Kotelnikov is in the small blind and he sets Joakim Andersson all in with Spade QClub J for a 17 big blind effective jam. Andersson has Club ADiamond 9 and he calls all 10.3 million chips.

The Spade 7Diamond QHeart 8 flop gives Kotelnikov top pair and the Club Q turn gives him trips, locking up the hand and rendering the Spade 2 river irrelevant.

Play is now heads up with Stuart Guite going head-to-head as the underdog compared to the almost 2.5:1 chip lead Kotelnikov has over him.

Andrey Kotelnikov – 69.2 million
Stuart Guite – 29 million
Joakim Andersson – Eliminated
