The Story of Thom
The name Thom Gerrits didn't really ring a bell, but we saw his name behind a who mountain of chips and decided to investigate.
Gerrits played a big pot earlier he told us, one where he would flop a flush and get paid.
Gerrits flatted a 1,000 raise with 
and got squeezed on behind him to 4,300. The initial raiser made the call and so did Gerrits.
The flop would come as beautiful as it could with 
. Both the initial raiser and Gerrits checked to the agressor who bet 5,000. Gerrits eventually check raised to 12,225 and received a call.
Gerrits would then bet 12,725 on an 
turn and 23,000 all in on an off suit 
river. His opponent made the call holding 
for two pair both times, but could hit the shower soon after because of it.
A table over Dennis Smit is seated, another Dutchie with a more than reasonable stack. Smit has just over 100,000 in front of him after he just bet the river for 8,200 in a rather big pot with the board displaying 
. His opponent folded and left the pot to Smit.
