Carvalho Ends Van Luijk's Reign
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Milos Petakovic raised to 6,000 under the gun and Manuel Carvalho three-bet to 25,000 in the hijack. Derk van Luijk then moved all in for 52,000 in the small blind, Petakovic folded, while Carvalho called to put Van Luijk at risk.
Derk van Luijk: A♣K♠ 
Manuel Carvalho: K♥Q♦
Van Luijk had Carvalho dominated and at risk, but Carvalho found a queen on the Q♠4♣3♠ flop to take the lead. The 5♠ turn gave Van Luijk some hope with a flush draw, but he missed the 10♣ river and the defending champion was sent to the rail less than 10 spots from the money.
