Hand #103 - Pieter de Korver

Dag Mikkelsen is first to speak. He opens for 380,000, a bet that is reraised to 680,000 by Pieter de Korver from the blinds. Mikkelsen grabs a few chips off his stack and drops them into the pot. He still seems frustrated.

On the flop of {7-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Spades}, de Korver comes again with a bet of 430,000. Mikkelsen isn't deterred; he calls to see the {9-Diamonds} fall on the turn. De Korver moves forward in his chair and bets 1,040,000. Mikkelsen looks de Korver's stack up and down and asks for a count. The stacks are almost even. Armed with that knowledge, Mikkelsen moves all in. Snap-call from de Korver!

Mikkelsen: {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
de Korver: {6-Clubs} {6-Spades}

Whoops. Maybe it was frustration, but that's a huge gaffe by Mikkelsen. He's drawing dead against de Korver's full house and has to ship almost his whole stack across the table after the {A-Spades} river. Mikkelsen is left with just 360,000, the same amount that de Korver had at one time at this final table.
