Dag Martin Mikkelsen opened the pot with an 18,000 raise from the button. David Bach folded his small blind and Michael Pesek then potted the action from the big, kicking it up to 56,000. Mikkelsen quickly put in a third bet, moving all in and Pesek made the call:

Pesek: {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

Mikkelsen: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{8-Spades}

The

{K-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

flop made things more interesting, as Pesek had flopped an open-ended royal straight flush draw. Mikkelsen maintained his lead when the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

fell on the turn, but the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

on the river gave Pesek the pot-clinching flush.

Mikkelsen will take home $27,360 AUD for his third place finish.
