Kai Lehto opened to 600,000 from the Cut-off, and Egidijus Matonis three-bet to 1,800,000 on the Button. Things would get even spicier, as Roy van der Reijnst four-bet shoved for 8,200,000 from the Big Blind. Lehto swiftly mucked; Matonis considered his options for a minute before making the call, having van der Reijnst covered.
Roy van der Reijnst: J♥J♦
Egidijus Matonis: A♣K♠
It was a classic coin flip confrontation, and with 17,000,000 in the middle, it was indeed a chip lead pot. Van der Reijnst’s fishhooks were still in the lead on the 3♠3♥4♣ flop. Status quo on the 7♥ turn, and the 2♥ river sealed the deal. Just before the second 20-minute break of the day, van der Reijnst won the biggest pot of the tournament thus far, and he will be the chip leader once play resumes.
Roy van der Reijnst: 17,000,000
Egidijus Matonis: 1,600,000
