De Korver De-molished

Pieter de Korver
Pieter de Korver
Pieter de Korver opened the pot with a raise, and he found two callers, including his nemesis from an earlier hand.

The flop came out {10-?} {K-?} {A-?}, and de Korver knocked the table. When one of his opponents bet 1,000, de Korver check-raised to 2,300. That raise was quickly called, and the turn brought a {Q-?}. De Korver led out now, pushing 3,000 chips across the line. His opponent was right there with the call once more.

The river paired the board with a repeat {A-?}. De Korver didn't have much left in the tank by this time, and he moved all in for less than 10,000 total. The call came instantly.

The Dutchman tabled {Q-Spades} {J-Spades}, having flopped the Broadway straight. But it was no good by the time the river rolled around. His opponent proudly flipped up {A-?} {10-?}, his full house plenty good enough to earn him the pot and send De Korver packing.

You'll get a chance to see Pieter de Korver again soon enough. He's over on this half of the world preparing to play the televised NBC Heads-Up event next month.
