Ranno Sootla

After few hands of passing blinds back and forth, Ranno Sootla was sitting on just shy of 8,000,000 chips, with Eisuke Katsuren ahead with 11,500,000.

Katsuren limped and Sootla raised to 1,400,000. Katsuren re-raised to 3,000,000 and Sootla moved all in, putting his tournament life at risk. Katsuren snap called and the players flipped their cards.

Ranno Sootla: A Q

Eisuke Katsuren: A K

Sootla needed to improve to stay alive. The 4 8 4 flop brought in a few outs with the backdoor flush draw, but the 7 turn shot down the hope and the 9 river did nothing to change things.

Sootla was eliminated in 2nd place for TWD 4,515,500 (~USD 144,730) and an APT Championship Main Event Seat Ticket worth ~ USD 10,000.
