Pieter Aerts Eliminated in 14th Place ($79,084)
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Pieter Aerts opened to 100,000 from the cutoff and Brek Schutten defended his big blind.
On the J♦10♥8♠ flop, Schutten checked-jammed as the bigger stack after Aerts continued for 70,000. The Belgian had a few T-100,000 chips behind, along with some smaller denominations, and he put them into the middle.
Pieter Aerts: K♠J♣
Brek Schutten: Q♠8♥
Aerts had top pair, while Schutten had bottom pair and a gutshot, which was completed on the 9♠ turn. Aerts needed to hit a king but the 2♦ river confirmed his exit instead.
