Bjorn Verbakel Eliminated in 8th Place ($43,328)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Bjorn Verbakel - 8th Place
Bjorn Verbakel - 8th Place

Just before the level up, Bjorn Verbakel raised to 40,000 only to have Nick Binger three-bet to 150,000 on the button. Verbakel made the call and watched as the flop fell {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The man from the Netherlands surprised the call by moving all in for his last 202,000, which Binger called.

Binger: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Verbakel: {4-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

Verbakel held a nice straight draw, but at the moment all he had was a pair of fours, which was behinds Binger's pair of jacks. The {3-Hearts} turn was discouraging to Verbakel as it gave Binger both flush and low outs. The {7-Clubs} river completed Binger's low, which complimented his pair of jacks for the high.

Binger scooped the pot to chip up to 1.45 million while Verbakel was eliminated in 8th place.
