Verhagen Cracks Kings to Bust Bevers in Massive Pot
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Callum Hamilton opened to 18,000 from early position and Hongru Zhang called on the button. Maxim Bevers squeezed to 63,000 from the small blind and Johannes Verhagen tanked before making it over 200,000 from the big blind. Hamilton and Zhang folded, but Bevers shoved for slightly more and Verhagen called to put Bevers at risk.
Maxim Bevers: K♦K♣
Johannes Verhagen: A♠Q♦
Bevers was a big favorite to double up and remained that way on the 4♦J♣7♠ flop, but the A♣ turn paired Verhagen's ace and vaulted him into the lead.
The 10♦ river changed nothing and Bevers was forced to the rail while Verhagen collected the monster pot.
