Van Rooij Flipped Out

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Merijn van Rooij kicked the action off with a raise to 1,300 from the hijack, before Grzegorz Kozieja put in a three-bet to 3,500 from the button. When action returned to Van Rooij, he opted to four-bet to 10,500. Kozieja responded with a five-bet shove, covering his opponent's stack, roughly 36,000. Van Rooij called, and the players revealed their cards.

Merijn van Rooij: 1010 All in
Grzegorz Kozieja: AK

The dealer then revealed a 683 flop, giving Kozieja more outs to take the lead.

It was immediate service for Kozieja, as the turn 9 gave him a flush, leaving Van Rooij with just one out to catch up.

Alas, the river 5 could not save Van Rooij, who took his leave and headed to the exit.
