De Necker Runs Flush into Full House
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action was on the turn on a board of 8♥9♥8♦2♥. Action checked to Francisco Cabello, who kicked off the betting. Derk van Luijk raised it up to 510,000, then Pieter de Necker moved all in for a little over one million. Cabello folded and Van Luijk made the call. Floor staff paused the action, but players had already revealed their cards.
Pieter de Necker: K♥J♥
Derk van Luijk: 2♣2♠
De Necker had a flush and van Luijk had a full house, deuces full of eights.
"Are you worried about the river?" joked a neutral player, knowing that de Necker was drawing dead.
The river came the 10♥. Van Luijk won the pot and de Necker was eliminated from the tournament. With that, the tables broke for a redraw.
