Diego Hernan De Sanchis Rozas: K♦K♠
The board ran out 10♣4♥J♥A♥9♠ and Rozas held with his pocket kings, sending his opponent to the rail.
The High Roller event is now heads-up between Rens Buijs and Bert Stevens. Buijs currently has a significant chip lead over his opponent and Stevens will need a couple of double ups to bring himself into the lead.
The winner is set to take €13,500, while second place will have to settle for €9,000.
Sikkpot raised to 6,000 from the button and Iosif Spulber moved all in for 65,000 from the small blind. Sikkpot laid down his hand and Spulber won the pot uncontested.
