Konstantin Held

Hand #63: Takayama made it 600,000 on the button and Konstantin Held defended his big blind.

Held opted to lead all in for 650,000 on the 3 5 7 flop and Takayama called.

Konstantin Held: J 9

Mike Takayama: Q 7

Takayama was ahead with top pair, and Held needed to connect on the turn or river to survive.

A J on the turn was exactly what Held needed as he paired his jack.

However, the brutal Q rolled off on the river to award Takayama the best hand with two pair and Held was gone in fifth place for TWD 2,899,600 (~$92,935).
