Nicolai Austad limped from the Button. After Vytautas Riskevicius folded his Small Blind, Simon Hesserud Persson decided to check.

First to act on the J♦2♦5♠ flop, Hesserud Persson checked. Austad bet 600,000, and Hesserud Persson then firmly put in a big stack of 500,000. Austad moved all in for roughly 4,000,000 in total and Hesserud Persson snap-called.

Nicolai Austad: A♦4♦
Simon Hesserud Persson: 5♣2♣

The 9♥A♠ runout didn’t help Austad, and he was out in third place for €21,220.

The stage is set for a heads-up duel between Hesserud Persson and Riskevicius, with the former holding a commanding chiplead.

Simon Hesserud Persson: 39,850,000
Vytautas Stanevicius: 7,850,000
Nicolai Austad: 0
