Jordy Vleugels Eliminated in 10th Place (€13,150)
Level 32
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
All the chips went into the middle preflop with Belgian Jordy Vleugels at risk in the big blind for 850,000. He was covered by Artus Gimenez in the hijack.
Jordy Vleugels: A♥J♣
Artus Gimenez: K♥5♠
"Not even a sweat!" was Gimenez's response to the flop of A♣10♠8♦, to give Vleugels top pair. He responded "Don't say that! There is two cards left!"
Vleguels was right to be cautious as the 5♣ came on the turn, meaning the Spaniard needed a five or king to bust the professional soccer player.
The 5♥ on the river caused a groan that was heard across the gaming floor of Gran Madrid Casino Torrequebrada as it gave Gimenez trip-fives and a dejected Vleguels will have a five-figure score for his first recorded cash.
