Stegeman Hits Lucky Jack to Double

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Alberto Stegeman
Alberto Stegeman

After a raise from Kramer and a three-bet from Stegeman to 310,000, Kramer shoved. Stegeman called all in for 920,000 total and the crowd erupted in Holland Casino Amsterdam.

Alberto Stegeman: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
[Removed:172]: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The flop of {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} was of no immediate help to Stegeman. The {8-Clubs} on the turn gave him some additional outs with the nine now helping Stegeman as well. Still, Kramer was on the verge of busting a player and distancing himself even more from the rest.

No nine appeared but the {J-Diamonds} hit and the crowd went even crazier, cheering for the local player over the German. Double up for Stegeman, it's anyone's game now.

Jasper Meijer van Putten Eliminated in 6th Place (€45,987)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jasper Meijer van Putten
Jasper Meijer van Putten

Action folded to Jasper Meijer van Putten on the button. He asked for a count on Alberto Stegeman's stack in the big blind and then shoved. The small blind folded and Stegeman contemplated what to do for a minute or so. He eventually called.

Alberto Stegeman: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Jasper Meijer van Putten: {10-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The flop came {8-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} which hit Stegeman hard. The {5-Clubs} on the turn was a blank and left Meijer van Putten few outs. The {6-Spades} on the river inconsequential and Meijer van Putten was left with just 55,000 while Stegeman doubled.

The next hand, Meijer van Putten got it in against Joey Vittali. Meijer van Putten had {K-Hearts}{10-Spades} while Vittali showed {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades} and that was it, Meijer van Putten eliminated.
