Naalden Misses the Marc

I joined the action on the river of a {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{K-Spades}{5-Clubs} board, with Dutchman and 2006 EPT Copenhagen finalist Marc Naalden facing a bet of 1,500. After staring a hole through his opponent, Naalden made the call, but was dismayed to be shown {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. As a result, Naalden drops down to 11,000.

On a nearby table, meanwhile, Marcin Horecki faced a curious bet of 725 into a pot of 3,325 and a board of {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, but after much dwellage, let it go.
