Brink Catches Fire in Big Three-Way Clash
Frederik Brink raised to 80,000 from under the gun, Alexander Ivarsson called in late position and Leonardo Patacconi defended his big blind. The flop was 
and Patacconi, first to act, open-shoved for 555,000.
Brink came over the top for 1,230,000 and Ivarsson snap-called it off to create a three-way monster pot.
Leonardo Patacconi: 
Frederik Brink: 
Alexander Ivarsson: 
Ivarsson, already wielding a massive stack, found himself in a commanding lead to become the overwhelming chip leader in the tournament. However, faith would tell a different story as the 
turn and 
river completed Brink's flush to send the massive three-way pot over to the EPT8 Madrid champion.
Patacconi briefly celebrated upon seeing the river, before noticing that his wheel was second best. He pointed at Brink to acknowledge the winner, then left the tournament area.
