Yves De Jongh limped in from under the gun and so did Werner Schroons on the button. Koen Lauwereys completed his small blind and Tom Hermans opted to check his big blind.
The flop came 5♥J♥J♣, Lauwereys and Hermans checked. De Jongh shoved for about 1,400,000. Schroons quickly folded and Lauwereys looked a bit shocked at what was happening and tried to figure it out. Lauwereys looked at the shove and decided to call. Hermans folded immediately.
Yves De Jongh: 6♦5♦
Koen Lauwereys: J♠T♥
De Jongh had flopped two pair, jacks and fives, but was behind against the trips that Lauwereys had.
The rest of the board was completed with the T♠ on the turn to give Lauwereys a full house and the 3♥ on the river was just a formality to complete the board.
De Jongh was eliminated in 10th place for €3,530. The final nine players have now bagged up their chips for tomorrow and will return at 12:45 PM for the final table pictures. Play will continue at 1 PM and a recap of today’s action is to follow.
