Raemaekers Promises Fireworks, Delivers
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
Joep Raemaekers is among the Dutch guys that have relocated to Malta in order to pursue an online poker career. Part of that group made the journey across half the world, with Steven van Zadelhoff as their most notable name. After chatting with Raemaekers a bit about jetlags, the Dutchman promised fireworks to keep everyone awake and subsequently raised to 500. On the button, Ludovic Geilich called and Xixiang Luo defended his big blind.
The flop was 
and Raemakers continued 1,000, with Geilich as the only caller. Both players checked the 
on the turn. On the 
river, Raemaekers bet 2,275 and Geilich snap-called.
Raemaekers flipped over 
for a straight flush, prompting some "oohs" from the table. Geilich flashed 
and mucked his hand.
