Tonne Takes a Big One From Van Der Fluit

Charles Tonne raised to 50,000 from the button and was 3-bet to 150,000 by Vincent Van Der Fluit from the big. Tonne flatted to see a flop, which came {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

Van Der Fluit continued his aggression and led out for 165,000. Tonne called.

A {7-Hearts} fell on the turn and Van Der Fluit opted to slow down and check, prompting a 225,000 bet from Tonne. Van Der Fluit made the call.

Van Der Fluit again checked when a {3-Spades} landed the river. Tonne thought it over and pushed a 300,000 bet into the middle, sending Van Der Fluit deep into the tank. He eventually flung out a call and Tonne showed {Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

"That's good," Van Der Fluit said and mucked his hand.
