Joep van den Bijgaart Eliminated in 7th Place (€46,095)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Joep van den Bijgaart
Joep van den Bijgaart

It started rather innocent with a raise of Donald Rae from the button for 55,000. Joep van den Bijgaart in the small blind checked his cards, gave it some thought and then moved all in for 580,000.

Jussi Nevanlinna just flat-called from the big blind and Rae then had a decision to make. After two minutes of consideration, he moved all in and Nevanlinna snap-called to immediately leave the Brit with his head shaking in disbelief.

van den Bijgaart: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Rae: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Nevanlinna: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and van den Bijgaart was eliminated in 7th place for €46,095 while the clock was stopped to count the stack of Nevanlinna. It was then determined to be 2,106,000 and Rae was left with a mere 15 big blinds.

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Georgios Zisimopoulos raised to 50,000 with the {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} from under the gun and Donald Rae shoved for 335,000 with the {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} to claim the blinds and antes. Neither of his opponents found a hand to call with and the Greek also folded.

The next hand, Jussi Nevanlinna raised from the button with the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Kees van Brugge shoved to also win the pot uncontested. He showed his {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

Jussi Nevanlinna raised to 55,000 with the {A-Clubs}{9-Spades} and picked up two callers in Georgios Zisimopoulos on the button and Clyde Tjauw Foe in the big blind, holding {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Only Zisimopoulos called the continuation bet of Nevanlinna on the {6-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop and the Finn then checked the {7-Hearts} on the turn. Zisimopoulos bet for 140,000 with {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Nevanlinna check-called before both players checked down the {Q-Spades} on the river.

The king-kicker won the pot for Zisimopoulos.
