De Vries Hasn't Lost a Big Pot All Day

Webjoker

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

When a player has significantly fewer chips than the last times we checked, and we know that player reasonably well, we sometimes ask what has happened.

"Did you lose a big pot?" we asked Shander de Vries as he was down to his last 6,875, while he was hanging around start stack last time we had showed interest in his stack.

"No, I just didn't win a pot all day!" De Vries said with a big smile on his face.

His two neighbors laughed just as hard. There's work to be done for De Vries, so much is clear.

De Rooij Unfortunate

Webjoker

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Thomas de Rooij started out doing extremely well today, but he's dropped some chips and is now forced to play the role of (relative) short stack. He told us about two hands that "helped" him get there.

The cutoff opened for 700 and De Rooij three-bet the button to 2,100 holding . Both blinds folded and the cutoff four-bet to 5,800. De Rooij called in position. The flop came and the cutoff bet 5,500. De Rooij called and called his neighbor's shove for 12,300 on the turn as well. The cutoff showed and De Rooij missed the jacks and hearts that would've given him the pot.

Next up, De Rooij called a middle position raise from the button holding . The small blind over called and the three of them saw a flop of . The small blind checked and the initial raiser bet 1,200. De Rooij called, and so did the small blind.

Both the small blind and the initial raiser checked on the turn. De Rooij bet 4,500 and just the small blind called, the initial raiser folded. The river came the and the small blind check-called 12,500 with to beat De Rooij's set of sixes.
