Small One for Stegeman
Level 2
: 100/100, 100 ante
The player in middle position opened with a raise to 300. Dutch television host Alberto Stegeman called from the small blind and big blind Ad Schaap called as well.
The flop came down 
and all players checked. The turn was the 
and Stegeman lead out with a bet of 500. Both Schaap and the third player in the hand called.
The 
river completed the board and Stegeman put in another 500. Schaap got away but the third player called. Stegeman opened up 
and that was enough to take down the pot.

Schemion Lets it Go
Level 2
: 100/100, 100 ante
Ole Schemion was facing a bet of 15,000 from Juha Helppi while the pot had about 20,000 in it.
The complete board looking 
was already out there and Schemion looked like he had a tough decision to make.
He ended up folding his hand and Helppi stacked his newly won chips.
