Nethengers: Civil War

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Tom Vogelsang
Tom Vogelsang

Tom Vogelsang opened to 10,000 from early position and compatriot Merijn van Rooij called from the small blind.

On the 743 flop, Van Rooij check-raised to 35,000 over a bet of 10,000. Vogelsang called.

The K turn checked through to the K river. Van Rooij fired out another 35,000. Vogelsang had some confusion with the shot clock timer, with it showing 15 seconds instead of 30 seconds. This appeared to fluster the high roller but he regained composure and called.

Van Rooij tabled K6 for trips and Vogelsang mucked.

Sinead Davenport: AJ All in
Paolo Boi: 33

The flop K57 provided no immediate help for Davenport, but the turn K did give her some extra ways to win.
