Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Hannu Seppala (small blind) and Mateusz Moolhuizen (early position) got their stacks in the middle before the flop. Moolhuizen, two-time Unibet Open champion, had the best of it with as Seppala showed just .

The board ran out and Moolhuizen had to give 66,400 of his well earned chips to Seppala. Moolhuizen had already lost 30,000 earlier to day, so it's fair to say he isn't having the start he must have hoped for.
