Van Rooij's Red-Hot Run Continues
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Nikolaos Mouroutis had pushed in his stack of 600,000 on the button, and Merijn van Rooij called in early position to put him at risk.
Nikolaos Mouroutis: 9♦9♣ 
Merijn van Rooij: 7♠7♥
Moroutis had a sizable lead with the higher pocket pair, but Van Rooij flopped a set on 3♦Q♦7♦ to flip the script.
Mouroutis still had a flush draw to work with, but the 4♠ turn and 2♥ river did not bring a diamond, spelling the end of his tournament.
