After his four-bet fold against Tobias Peters earlier in the day, Alberto Stegeman had been looking for a quick double-up, moving all in either as first to act or over an opening raise from one of the other players at the final table.

In this hand overnight chip-leader Richard Milne raised to 65,000 from under-the-gun. Stegeman three-bet all in for his 315,000 chips and Milne quickly called.

Milne: Diamond ADiamond K
Stegeman: Heart 7Diamond 7

The board ran out Club KHeart QClub 6Heart 5Club 8 and Stegeman got to his feet to shake the hands of the other players at the final table before exiting the tournament area. For his 9th place finish, the Dutch TV presenter takes home €7,330 ($8,063).

Meanwhile, Milne was raking in Stegeman’s chips and stacking them up. “Look here pal,” he said, rolling up his right sleeve to reveal a tattoo. “It’s my favourite hand, I’m always going all in with my favourite hand!”

On his right forearm he had a intricate tattoo depicting the Diamond ADiamond K which he had just held to eliminate his opponent.
