Krijn Doubles Janssens

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We only got there on the river, but eventual winner Bob Janssens was kind enough to fill us in on the details of the hand after he was done stacking.

Krijn opened under the gun and a player in middle position called. Janssens over called from the big blind.

Janssens check-called a bet on {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts} as the player in middle position folded, check-called another bet on the {J-Clubs} turn and check-called all in for 69,500 on the {2-Diamonds} river.

Janssens showed {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the nuts and Krijn mucked.

Bob Janssens opened under the gun plus one and picked up 3 callers: Raul van Boxtel (cutoff), Hael Al-Labani (small blind), and Dennis Lavrijsen (big blind).

All four of the checked {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and the {5-Diamonds} on the turn was seen for free. The blinds checked again and Janssens bet 11,200. Van Boxtel called, Al-Labani check-raised to 31,000. Lavrijsen folded, Janssens and Van Boxtel called.

The {3-Clubs} completed the board and Al-Labani checked. Janssens shoved all in and Van Boxtel folded. Hael Al-Labani tanked for some time before eventually reluctantly calling.

Janssens showed {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Al-Labani mucked. The dealer showed his cards anyway, as it was an all in and call situation: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}. Van Boxtel showed his {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and was happy to have folded.
