Dutch Disaster

Slotdown in his prime
Slotdown in his prime
Rolf Slotboom looks to be our earliest exit, he had been in a preflop raising war with another player and was a non-believer with {K-?} {K-?} when his opponent moved all in on an {A-?} {9-?} {8-?} board. But his timing proved to be off as he was up against {A-?} {Q-?} which made two pair on the turn and Slotboom couldn't catch a two-outer on the river. He was left with a paltry 50 chips which went in soon after and predictably, couldn't manage a comeback.

The kicker to make things even worse? According to Steve Frezer the tournament director, it was Rolf's own girlfriend who dealt the cards that sent him to the rail.
