Theo Jorgensen went up against Steve Jelinek with A K versus pocket queens respectively. The board came down in Jelinek’s favour however – Q 10 4 10 6 and Jelinek’s house left Jorgensen with just 1,000 in chips left. He got it in shortly after but to no avail.

Elimination Hands

Steve Jelinek Eliminated in Sixth Place ($36,893)

Tommy Vedes made it 70,000 on the button and Steve Jelinek made it 222,000 from the big blind. Vedes made the call and they took the flop heads up.

The flop was K66 and Jelinek moved all in for his last 184,000 and was called by Vedes. Vedes tabled A2106 and Jelinek showed A2KQ.

The A fell on the turn and the 2 sealed Jelinek’s fate, as he is eliminated in sixth place.

Steve Jelinek Eliminated in 14th Place (â?¬25,000)

Mar 13, '09

A short stacked Steve Jelinek moved all in (perhaps on tilt after the last pot) with K7 and was quickly called by Luca Pagano who moved all in himself. The big blind Matthias Kurschner tanked and then folded. Pagano flipped over AA which we also saw him win with yesterday.

The board brought presents for Jelinek but as it paired, he just couldn't catch up with Pagano's pocket rockets:

K10557

Steve Jelinek leaves the tournament in 14th place for €25,000.
