Meijer van Putten Manhandles Mascolo, Crests Ten Million
Chip leader Jasper Meijer van Putten has been pushing the gas pedal non-stop today. Earlier, after a raise to 160,000 from Giorgiy Skhulukhiya under the gun and a three-bet to 495,000 from Vojtech Susta in the cutoff, Meijer van Putten four-bet to 950,000 on the button to shake both players out. A few hands later, he barrelled it off in a blind battle against Susta where the latter folded the river to be left with 1.4 million.
Meijer van Putten put in another raise a few hands later. Mascolo, in the big blind, three-bet shoved all in for 970,000 but the Dutchman snapped him off with a big hand.

A clean 
board appeared for Meijer van Putten to force a tap-out from Mascolo. The remaining players subsequently redrew for the final three tables.
