Incredible Cooler Crushes Van Luijk's Dreams

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Derk van Luijk

Derk van Luijk and Jason Wheeler had created a pot of 375,000 in the blinds when they went to the A4229 river. After some thought, Van Luijk moved his remaining 214,000 all in, only to be snap-called by Wheeler.

Van Luijk confidently tabled 44 for a full house, but Wheeler turned quad deuces with his 22 to win the pot.

A stunned Van Luijk was sent to the payout desk, dashing his hopes of adding another EPT Monte-Carlo title to his resume. Meanwhile, Wheeler chipped up to cross the seven-figure mark.
