Buijs Busts to Ricken
Rens Buijs was seen leaving the tournament area and was kind enough to recount his bust out hand to PokerNews, bringing a salutary tale of putting too much emphasis on prior history with a player.
Buijs opened under the gun with nine-six suited, and was three-bet by his good friend Floris Pop, who he plays with regularly, in the next seat. The three-bet obtained a crazy five cold callers, including from Hendrick Ricken on the button.
Action folded back to Buijs, who explained he considered it was highly likely Pop was three-betting him light, and given the size of the pot, he decided to go for the four-bet jam for around 40 bigs effective, looking strong from his under the gun position.
He thought his plan would work when Pop quickly folded, as did the first cold-caller. However Ricken made the call with pocket fours. Buijs stated he was delighted to be flipping, but the Qx8x2x7xQx runout did not improve his hand, resulting in his demise.
