The biggest pot of the tournament just played out and on the turn Niels van Leeuwen was one card away from having half the chips in play with six players remaining. The river however saved Pim van Wieringen who found a way to chop this following hand to stay alive.
Van Wieringen raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Van Leeuwen three-bet from the button to 210,000. The action folded back to Van Wieringen who opted to four-bet making it 465,000 total.
Van Leeuwen gave it some thought before moving all in and Van Wieringen seemed far from happy but eventually he made the call to put his tournament life at risk in a pot worth over 4.2 million chips.

The board ran out and the straight on the board probably made Van Leeuwen's stomach turn. Van Wieringen seemed to be in shock as he pulled back the chips that almost belonged to Van Leeuwen.
