Merijn van Rooij Eliminated in 13th Place (€24,850)
Level 30
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Merijn van Rooij raised to 275,000 under the gun. Pierre Azzopardi then three-bet to 775,000 in the hijack, which Van Rooij called after some thought.
The flop fell Q♣7♣5♣. Van Rooij led with an all-in bet for 775,000, and Azzopardi wasted no time in calling. Once the other table had finished their hand, the players revealed their cards.
Merijn van Rooij: J♥J♣
Pierre Azzopardi: A♣10♦
Azzopardi made the nut flush on the K♣ turn, leaving Van Rooij's jacks drawing dead. The 9♣ river no longer mattered as Van Rooij wished his former opponents good luck and left the tournament area.
