Santerne Busts as Klein Makes Straight

Thomas Santerne was already short stacked following previous clashes when Morten Klein raised to 21,000 from middle position, promting a reraise from Nikita Kuznetcov, who made it 55,000 to go. Santerne moved all in for 60,000 from late position, sending Klein into the tank before he flat-called. Kuznetcov threw in 5,000 more to make the call.

Klein and Kuznetcov then checked it back on the 4♥A♥9♦ flop and 8♠ turn. The river came the 10♠ and Klein fired out a bet of 100,000. Kuznetcov folded to leave Klein and Santerne to reveal their cards.

Santerne had 7♥7♦ for a pair of sevens, while Klein had Q♠J♠ for a rivered straight. He won the pot and Santerne, who claimed his second High Roller title the day before, was eliminated from the tournament.

On an outer table, Simon Mattsson could also be seen making his way to the rail.
