Joe Serock limped the button and Joris Springael called from the small blind as Jordan Cristos was all in from the big blind for 110,000.

The {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{K-Clubs} board was checked down with Springael tabling his {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Cristos tabled his {Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, but it would be Serock's {A-Spades}{9-Clubs} that would see him capture the pot and eliminate Cristos in 3rd place for a $48,941 payday.

From the button, Jordan Cristos raised to 540,000 and Joris Springael called in the big blind to see a {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop.

Springael checked and Cristos bet 700,000 only to have Springael shove all in for 3,605,000. Cristos called, and the cards were tabled.

Cristos: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Springael: {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

With Springael at-risk and ahead, the {9-Spades} and {4-Diamonds} on the turn and river would ensure his double to 8.4 million while Cristos was left with just 435,000; roughly four big blinds.
