EPT Finalist Joep van den Bijgaart and Lukas Splettstosser were tangling earlier, with Splettstosser getting the best of it. This time, it was Van den Bijgaart who got some chips back from his left-hand neighbor.

Van den Bijgaart raised to 1,200 from the cutoff, Splettstosser three-bet to 2,500 on the button, and Van den Bijgaart called. Both players checked the {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop. Van den Bijgaart check-called 1,700 on the {2-Hearts} turn, then led out 3,200 on the {10-Hearts} river.

Splettstosser made the call with {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} but the Dutchman showed the winner with {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.
