6th Place to Dieter Dijkstra

After playing a short stack stretching all the way back into the second half of yesterday, Dieter Dijkstra finally took an all-in shot which sent him to the rail in 6th place. He seems a patient player whose laid-back attitude brought him calmly to the final table where more often than not his all-in moves were treated with respect by the others. Not this time, though - he pushed all-in on the big blind with {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

over the top of a button raise from Patrik Selin. Not only was it not that much more to call, but Selin had {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

and made the call pretty quickly. The board came: {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

, sending the young player off to collect his £3,400 in prize money.
