Bouwe Claushuis Eliminated in 8th Place (€19,500)
Robert Cowen limped the J♦10♠5♠2♠ and Bouwe Claushuis called in the hijack. Martin Kabrhel raised out of the small blind to 90,000. Krasimir Yankov, in the big blind, called, and Claushuis jammed for 162,000. What followed was a tussle to find out how much the pot was, and Kabrhel squeezed to 550,000 out of a possible 596,000.
Yankov then moved all in over the top, and Kabrhel called to create a huge pot. The Czech enigma called for two jacks on the flop once the following cards were revealed.
Bouwe Claushuis: A♥A♦Q♥2♦
Martin Kabrhel: Q♣J♥4♥3♣
Krasimir Yankov: 9♥9♦7♥5♦
The J♣J♠3♦ flop gave Kabrhel a full house right away, and he improved to a bigger boat with the 4♣ turn. What followed was the 8♣ river, and that sent Claushuis to the rail in 8th place while Kabrhel dragged in the humongous pot to take the lead.
