Van Den Bijgaart Finds Aces

There was a raise to 300 and it folded around to Dutchman and hair gel enthusiast Joep Van Den Bijgaart in the small blind, who made it 1,100 to go. The original raiser called, and they went heads up to a {Q-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} flop. They both checked.

The turn came down the {4-Clubs} and Van Den Bijgaart now bet out 1,400. A brief pause was followed by a call, and they saw a {K-Hearts} river. The expressionless Van Den Bijgaart bet 1,850, and after another pause, Original Raiser called that too -- but Van Den Bijgaart flipped {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} and his opponent couldn't beat it.

Van Den Bijgaart is on around 33,000.
