420 Raise It
Merijn van Rooij opened to 40,000 from under the gun before Joachim Haraldstad three-bet to 120,000 from middle position. It folded back to Van Rooij, who bumped it to 260,000, and then Haraldstad made it 420,000. The raising war didn't end there as Van Rooij six-bet jammed for 835,000. Haraldstad snap-called.
Merijn van Rooij: A♣K♥
Joachim Haraldstad: K♣K♦
Van Rooij was instantly rewarded with the A♠ in the window, which was followed by the 9♥8♥. The board completed with the Q♣5♠ and Van Rooij won a massive pot early on in Day 3.
On the next deal, Haraldstad raised to 165,000, leaving 20,000 behind. Keith Johnson called from the cutoff.
Haraldstad put in his last 20,000 before the 10♣7♠3♦ flop. Johnson made the call and the cards were tabled.
Joachim Haraldstad: A♥7♥
Keith Johnson: A♦Q♠
Haralstad found a three-outer of his own, and doubled up after the 9♦ turn and K♥ river.
