Veli-Pekka Penttinen opened to 40,000 from UTG+1. Habib Brahim called from the Button, before short-stacked Lev Margolin moved all in for 50,000 from the Small Blind. Antoine Vranken made the call from the Big Blind, and so did Penttinen and Brahim.
After an initial check from Vranken on the J♦A♠K♠ flop, Penttinen bet 75,000. Brahim folded, but Vranken made the call. Both players checked the 5♥ turn, and Penttinen then folded to a 175,000 bet from Vranken on the 3♣ river.
Lev Margolin: J♠J♣
Antoine Vranken: K♣10♠
Margolin quadrupled up with a set of Jacks; perhaps, it was to the great displeasure of the rest of the players, seeing as they’re on a €500 payjump.
After the hand, the remaining 40 players went on a 60-minute dinner break.
Antoine Vranken: 1,160,000
Veli-Pekka Penttinen: 880,000
Lev Margolin: 240,000
