Van den Berg Vanquished

With a button raise in front of him, Thierry van den Berg moved all in for 17,500 from the small blind. The big blind then moved all in himself, and the button called both men with a chance for the double knockout.

Showdown
Button: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
van den Berg: {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}
Big Blind: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

The big blind's pocket aces would hold up in the end. The button flopped a king, and van den Burg turned a flush draw, but neither man could catch up. For the big blind, that spells a double-up-and-then-some. For van den Berg, it's the end of the road and the end of his tournament.
