Bichon Bests busto_soon

This is what happens when two Euros get heads up in a pot. Buckle up.

Thomas Bichon raised to 750 preflop, and Johan "busto_soon" van Til called out of the blinds. The flop came out {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, and van Til checked. Bichon bet 925, and van Til swiftly check-raised to 2,400. Bichon wasn't going to back down to a silly little check-raise. Instead, he three-bet to 5,800.

But busto_soon didn't get to be busto_soon by folding, and certainly not by calling, so he snap put Bichon all in. Thomas made the call for 14,600. So who had the ace? No one? At least a pair? Not so much.

Bichon: {j-Spades}{8-Spades} for jack-high and a flush draw
Van Til: {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for five-high and a gutshot

The {q-Diamonds} was a brick, and the {8-Hearts} paired Bichon, so he doubled up to 43,000. Van Til was left with 32,000.
