Vincent Van Der Fluit Busy

[user92162]

Vincent Van Der Fluit has been a little busy in the early going. After boosting himself up to 155,000 not long ago, he's crashed back to 80,000.

The latest recipient of Van Der Fluit's chips was Benjamin Alacam, who doubled through.

Preflop Alacam opened the button to 4,000 and was three-bet by Van Def Fluit in the small blind. Alacam made the call for 10,000 more chips, and the flop came {9-Spades}

.

Van Der Fluit fired out a 15,000 chip continuation bet and Alacam flat called with position.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds}

and Van Der Fluit decided to apply the pressure by setting Alacam all in. Alacam made the call with his {5-Spades}

, and would be up against a fair number of outs for Van Def Fluit's {A-Diamonds}

.

None of them got there, the {4-Clubs}

arrived on the river to double Alacam through to 125,000.
