Carvalho Ends Van Luijk's Reign

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Derk Van Lujik

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: AK All in
Manuel Carvalho: KQ

Van Luijk had Carvalho dominated and at risk, but Carvalho found a queen on the Q43 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.
