Stan Van Dijk Eliminated in 3rd Place (€49,110)
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Khossein Kokhestani was all-in and at risk versus Stan Van Dijk, who had the slightly covering stack, both around 6,000,000.
Khossein Kokhestani: K♥4♥ 
Stan Van Dijk: A♦9♥
Van Dijk was ahead but Kokhestani flopped the world on 8♥4♦5♥, a pair and a flush draw, and the 10♥ rolled off on the turn to give him the pot, the 10♣ river being irrelevant.
Van Dijk was left with 250,000 and he was forced all-in in the next hand, with both of his opponents calling. They checked down their holdings on Q♠3♣Q♦2♠J♣. Van Dijk turned over 10♣7♣ for ten-high, but Dehli had 4♠3♠ for a pair of threes to send Van Dijk to the rail in third after a great performance.
We are now heads-up.
