Joep van den Bijgaart

Hand #99: Laszlo Papai raises to 400,000 from the button and Joep van den Bijgaart three-bet shoves for 3.2 million from the small blind. Papai snaps him off and the cards go up:

Van den Bijgaart: Diamond 6Club 6
Papai: Spade AClub Q

It’s a fair race but Papai pulls ahead when the Diamond 5Club AClub 8 arrive on the felt. The Diamond K turn and Spade 4 river leave van den Bijgaart trailing and he exits in third place.

Laszlo Papai – 10,775,000
Christopher Puetz – 9,625,000
Joep van den Bijgaart – eliminated

The remaining two players have been sent on a break before the start of their final match.
