Vihikainen Triples With Runner-Runner Quads; Harry Casagrande Eliminated in 21st Place (€10,900)
Aki Vihikainen, Sebestyen Balint, and Lucas van den Belt got their chips in on a 7♠8♠3♣ flop. Vihikainen was the player at risk with 820,000, Van den Belt slightly covered him with 900,000, while Balint was the biggest stack of the trio.
Aki Vihikainen: Q♣J♠8♥3♠ 
Lucas van den Belt: K♠K♣6♠5♥
Sebestyen Balint: A♠J♦2♠2♦
Vihikainen made a full house on the 3♥ turn to become a huge favorite. With Balint already drawing dead, Vihikianen just needed to fade a king to triple up.
The 3♦ river did more than that, improving Vihikainen to four of a kind to secure the pot. Van Den Belt won the small side pot to stay alive, being pushed just over three blinds for after dinner.
While spectators gathered in awe and the chips were carefully counted, Harry Casagrande was quietly eliminated from another table, being the last player to depart before the dinner break.
