Morten Lie Eliminated in 3rd Place (€109,200)
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Morten Lie opened to 600,000 from the button, and was faced with a three-bet to 1,600,000 from Ermanno Di Nicola in the small blind.
Action back to Lie, who wasted little time before four-bet jamming for 8,250,000.
Di Nicola took his glasses off, looked over at Lie, counted out his chips, and made the call.
Morten Lie: A♠9♥ 
Ermanno Di Nicola: K♣Q♥
Lie was ahead, and remained so after the 10♠9♦7♠ flop gave him second pair.
However the Q♣ hit on the turn, and Lie could not find an ace or nine on the 8♠ river. Lie gave both his opponents a hug before heading to the payout desk.
A first six-figure score for Lie. We are now heads-up, with the players taking a short break before play begins.
