Van Alphen Checks His Way To Victory
Level 17
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Stig Christensen got things moving by raising from the cutoff to 14,500 and both blinds, Niels van Alphen and Keld Volquardsen made the call.
The dealer fanned out the 
flop and all three players checked one after each other, like little dominoes falling. Actually nothing like dominoes at all, more like three men tapping the table. Anyway, the 
on the turn was met with the same, check, check, check, and so was the 
river.
Van Alphen turned over 
for a set, which bested the 
of Volquardsen and the 
of Christensen.
