Pieter Aerts Eliminated in 4th Place ($515,000)
Level 22
: Blinds 200,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Jean-Robert Bellande raised to 800,000 on the button and Pieter Aerts defended from the big blind.
When Aerts saw the 7♣3♦4♦ flop come down, he jammed for 2,195,000. Bellande snap-called.
Pieter Aerts: 5♦2♦ 
Jean-Robert Bellande: K♦K♣
Bellande had an overpair, but Aerts held an open-ended straight flush draw.
Aerts hit a flush on the 10♦ turn, although Bellande did have a redraw to a higher flush.
The dealer burned a card and then delivered the 7♦ on the river to give Bellande the king-high flush.
Aerts headed to collect his fourth-place payout, while Bellande raised his arms to the heavens and asked, "Is this real life?"
