Kasper Mellanen
Kasper Mellanen

Joris Ruijs raised to 60,000 from the small blind, Kasper Mellanen three-bet shoved 412,000 from the big blind and Ruijs beat him to the pot with a call.

Kasper Mellanen: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Joris Ruijs: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Mellanen found a decent pair but needed to find one of his sevens to crack Ruijs' overpair. There wasn't any seven to be found on {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and Mellanen made his way to the exit. He received �23,800 for finishing in 3rd place.

The heads-up will continue right away as the regular end-of-level break will be shortly after.
