Spijkers Gets it in the Neck

We caught up the action on the river of an {8-Hearts} {6-Spades} {Q-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} board, over 20,000 already in the pot.

Dennis Boekel seems to have checked; either way, Bart Spijkers had a 10,000 bet sitting in front of him and Boekel was mulling it over. "I call," he said very quietly after some time and turned over {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. A heartfelt sigh accompanied Spijkers' mucking of his hand - he's down to less than 5,000, while Boekel is up to 70,000 or so.

EDIT:

Spijkers now appears to be out.
