Benjamin Duval Eliminated in 15th Place (€20,700)
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Merijn van Rooij open-jammed for 955,000 in the cutoff and was quickly called by Benjamin Duval in the big blind.
Merijn van Rooij: Q♥J♣
Benjamin Duval: A♥Q♦
Van Rooij flopped an open-ended straight draw on 10♦9♠2♥. It completed on the 8♦ turn, and the 7♥ river avoided a chop pot, doubling Van Rooij up.
Duval was left with 755,000, which he got in on the button a couple of hands later. Evaldas Aniulis looked him up in the small blind, and the players showed down.
Benjamin Duval: A♦7♣
Evaldas Aniulis: A♣K♠
This time, the best hand remained best on the Q♣5♣2♠4♦8♦ runout. Duval said his goodbyes to the table and departed to pick up his 15th-place payout.
