Dragan Galic Eliminated in Fifth Place (€314,000)
William Reynolds Eliminated in Fourth Place (€377,000)
Gustav Sundell Eliminated in Third Place (€480,000)
With plenty of action on a 10-5-3-5 board, the two heads-up players only experienced the final battle for a very short period of time before it was all over.
Constant Rijkenberg (pictured right) took down the event with pocket aces versus Kalle Niemi’s A-10. Niemi needed a 10 but it was a 4 that fell on the river, and he went out in second place for €862,000.
The 20-year-old Rijkenberg takes home a massive €1,508,000 for withstanding the trials and tribulations within a field of 1,178 from all around the world.
Next stop coming up shortly is Monte Carlo for the Grand Final. Another amazing and large field is expected there, with a huge amount of money on the line. Join the Card Player reporting team there for all the action.
