Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Tapio Jarvinen opened the action from under the gun and Alessandro Pichierri called in middle position. Unibet Ambassador Ian Simpson three-bet on the button, Jarvinen four-bet shoved for 35,100, Pichierri reshoved and Simpson called all in for 60,700.

Just like that, a pot of over 150,000 was created with the mother of all setups:

Tapio Jarvinen: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Ian Simpson: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Alessandro Pichierri: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

Pichierri had both players covered and was in tremendous shape to claim the overall chip lead. The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{K-Hearts} and the river had the players gasping. Everyone quickly whipped out their phone to capture the moment, including Simpson himself, who suddenly boasts a stack of 160,000. Pichierri was left with 30,000, Jarvinen was eliminated.

Esports Colin "Koolein" Wijnholds walked over to the media desk with a solemn look on his face. On a {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board, Wijnholds held {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and went all in.

Jakob Linden called with {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and spiked the case {5-Clubs} on the river to send Wijnholds packing.

Unibet Ambassador Ian Simpson was at the table and captured the moment as it happened.
