Big Bet Poker

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

[Removed:564] opened for 1,000 under the gun and in the hijack, Marc MacDonnell 3-bet to 3,600. This got rid of most of the competition as the action folded back to [Removed:565], who called.

Both of them checked the flop of {7-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and the {Q-Spades} hit the turn, pairing the board. [Removed:565] bet 6,000 and MacDonnell called.

The {4-Clubs} completed the board and [Removed:565] bet a hefty 23,000. MacDonnell tanked for quite some time before he slid his cards into the muck. [Removed:565] just smiled as he raked in the pot.

"You just missed a nice hand," Van Wesemael said with a wry smile on his face. "You want the details?"

From middle position, Van Wesemael told us, he opened for 1,000. Small blind Marc MacDonnell called and so did big blind Antoine Vranken.

The blinds checked on {8-Clubs}{3-}{2-} and Van Wesemael bet 1,800. Both of his opponents called.

As the {7-Clubs} hit the turn, MacDonnell bet 5,600. Vranken folded, Van Wesemael called.

The {6-Clubs} completed the board and MacDonnell bet 15,000 with 30,500 behind. Van Wesemael shoved and MacDonnell snap-called.

Van Wesemael had {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the ace-high flush, but it turned out to be no good. MacDonnell tabled {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the straight flush and collected the giant pot.

Van Hoof Busts

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Jorryt van Hoof
Jorryt van Hoof

While he lost a decent amount of chips not too long ago when he lost with aces, he still had a sizable stack left. Despite that, he just busted and instantly reentered. His former tablemate (and good friend) Puk Nabuurs filled us in on the details of the hand.

Hossein Ensan opened the button and Van Hoof 3-bet from the small blind. Ensan called and called all streets as Van Hoof fired 3 bullets on {3-}{5-}{8-} (2 spades), {K-}, {6-Spades}.

Van Hoof showed {A-}{Q-} for nothing much, Ensan tabled {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for 4th pair.

Van Hoof Bluffs With Aces

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

You just missed a great hand," Joris Ruys told us, "Jorryt just bluffed with aces."

Ruys continued to tell us about a hand where Van Hoof opened under the gun for 700. Daan Mulders called in middle position and the big blind over called.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and as the big blind checked, Van Hoof bet 1,100. Mulders called, the big blind folded.

Van Hoof continued for 3,500 on the {5-Spades} turn and got called again.

The {Q-Diamonds} completed the board and Van Hoof bet 10,600. Mulders called and Van Hoof showed {A-Diamonds}{A-}. Mulders tabled {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and received the pot quick enough.

Schoonbrood Cracks Schemion's Aces With Deuce-Five

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Ole Schemion
Ole Schemion

We were just in time for the showdown in a big pot between Jean Philippe Schoonbrood and Ole Schemion but missed the pre-flop action. Tablemate Michiel Brummelhuis was kind enough to inform us of what had happened up until that point.

Schoonbrood had raised the hijack and small blind Schemion had 3-bet. Schoonbrood then called, and called Schemion's continuation bet on {2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} as well.

The {K-Hearts} hit the turn and Schemion bet 8,000. Schoonbrood moved all in for 31,300 and Schemion called.

Jean Philippe Schoonbrood: {2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Ole Schemion: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

The river {Q-Hearts} was a blank and Schoonbrood doubled.

Wesselink Doubles Through Helppi

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Wim Anne Wesselink
Wim Anne Wesselink

Wim Anne Wesselink called us over, telling us he just doubled through his neighbor Juha Helppi.

Wesselink opened the hijack for 700 and Helppi, in the cutoff, 3-bet to 2,000. As the action folded back around to Wesselink, he called.

Wesselink check-called a bet of 2,400 on {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} before checking again on the {Q-Hearts} turn. This time, Helppi bet 6,000. Wesselink shoved for around 21,000 and Helppi called.

Juha Helppi: {A-}{J-}
Wim Anne Wesselink: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The river {K-} didn't change a thing and Wesselink scored the full double.
