Thierry van den Berg just told us about a hand he lost to Ben Heath.
After a raise and 2 calls, Thierry van den Berg over called in position. Small blind Ben Heath wanted to squeeze to 4,200 but didn't make one motion removing his small blind and putting in his raise, so it was ruled a call.
According to Van den Berg, he was the only one calling Heath's 2,800 bet on . The on the turn was checked by both and the rolled off on the river. Heath bet 13,000 and Van den Berg called.
The player under the gun opened for 1,000 and Joris Ruys, seated in middle position, 3-bet to 3,100. Ruys' neighbor cold 4-bet to 7,200 with 19,600 behind and Ruys was the only caller.
Ruys checked on and his opponent shoved all in. Ruys instantly called but soon found out he was in need of some help.

The on the turn wasn't the card Ruys was looking for and neither was the on the river.
Still, Ruys has 90,000 in front of him, 3 times what he started the day with.
Rene Kuhlman was seen standing on the rail, railing his good friend Floris van der Ven. Kuhlman told us straight up he didn't have a good idea of what was right and wrong in the spot he was going to describe. Kuhlman is one of the best online cash game players in the world, but tournaments are a different beast.
A player in middle position opened for 1,000 and the hijack 3-bet to 2,750. Seated in the small blind, Kuhlman called holding . The big blind tanked for a bit and 4-bet to 10,000 which got rid of the original raiser and player that had reraised.
With the action now on Kuhlman, he shoved for 30,000. His opponent called with and no jacks or other help appeared.
"This really is a win win," Kuhlman said with a smile, "Now I can just play online tomorrow."
