Van der Beek Crack Sinclair's Aces
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jack Sinclair opened to 3,000 from under the gun. Everybody folded to Luc van der Beek in the small blind who called.
Sinclair continued for 2,500 on a flop of 6♣7♣K♦ but Van der Beek check-raised to 7,000. Sinclair called, then all the chips quickly went in the middle on the 10♦ turn with Van Der Beek at risk for 21,000.
Luc van der Beek: 9♣8♣ 
Jack Sinclair: A♣A♦
Van der Beek hit a straight on the turn to crack aces. The A♠ still gave a set to Sinclair, but it was unuseful and Van der Beek doubled up.
