During the first hand of three-handed play, Krzysztof Chmielowski opened to 600,000 UTG. Within a split second, Igor Pihela Sr then three-bet to 4,200,000. Now, the action was on Jenny Westerlund. The Swedish chip leader decided to four-bet to 10,000,000. Chmielowski took an extra peak on his cards, went into the tank for a minute or two, before moving all in himself for 14,000,000 in total. Pihela Sr committed his last 1,100,000 for the call, and Westerlund called for an additional 4,000,000.

Krzysztof Chmielowski

Krzysztof Chmielowski: QQ
Igor Pihela Sr: A6
Jenny Westerlund: AJ

All the tournament chips were now in the middle. Westerlund had both of her opponents at risk, while Chmielowski would be a huge chip leader if his queens were to hold. It was time for the flop.

There were all diamonds on the 293, giving Westerlund an additional eight outs. The turn wasn’t a diamond, but the A turn was enough to put Westerlund in a very solid lead. Chmielowski was now drawing to one out on the river, the Q. It was the 5 that finished the board, though, and such, Pihela Sr and Chmielowski both were eliminated in the same hand. Since Chmielowski had the superior stack, he got the €128,500 second-place payout, while Pihela Sr got €90,200 for his third-place finish.

Jenny Westerlund: 44,000,000
Krzysztof Chmielowski: 0
Igor Pihela Sr: 0
