Robert Bickley

Hand #172: Robert Bickley moved all in from the small blind for 2.23 million and Mathijs Jonkers snap-called out of the big blind.

Robert Bickley: {3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Mathijs Jonkers: {A-Spades}{7-Spades}

"Hold, hold, hold, come on hold this," Jonkers said before the flop fell {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and the Dutchman was praying in his native language. The {2-Spades} on the turn improved Bickley and Jonkers as well as his rail asked for spades.

The {9-Spades} on the river let Jonkers go bonkers and Bickley's nine cat lives eventually ran out. The Brit bowed out in 4th place for €335,089 while Jonkers and Marti Roca De Torres are almost even in chips with Gianluca Speranza at the top of the counts.
