Emilien Pitavy Eliminated in 6th Place ($280,000)
Level 20
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Pieter Aerts came in for a raise to 600,000 from the cutoff and Emilien Pitavy called out of the big blind.
Pitavy check-called a bet of 500,000 from Aerts on the A♦Q♠8♣ flop.
A 2♥ on the turn checked through and the A♥ arrived on the river. After thinking it over, Pitavy bet 800,000. Aerts shoved for Pitavy's remaining 1,890,000, causing Pitavy to go into the tank.
Pitavy was in the blender and had to burn through four of his time banks before coming to a decision. Ultimatley, he settled on a call.
Aerts turned over trips with A♣5♥, and Pitavy revealed Q♥9♣ for a pair of queens. Pitavy headed to the exit in sixth place and Aerts was back up to over 15,000,000.
