Van Til Adds a Notch to His Belt

[user66118]

From early position, Johan van Til opened to 700, and he found three callers. The flop came {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

, and Annette Obrestad checked from the small blind. The big blind did so as well, and van Til continued out with a bet of 1,800. The fourth player in the pot, Charles Hopping moved all in for just about 10,000 total. That was enough to quickly fold both blinds, but van Til stuck the call into the pot without delay.

Showdown
van Til: {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

Hopping:

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

Van Til was well ahead with his set of fives, though the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

on the turn gave Hopping a gutshot draw for the win. It wouldn't fill though; the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

landed on the river to send him packing, and van Til moves himself up to about 46,000.
