Minten Gets There

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

A middle position raise to 1,000 prompted Niek Minten to three-bet to 2,800 from late position. The small blind cold four-bet shoved for around 16,000. The big blind and initial raiser folded, Minten called.

Niek Minten was behind with {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} as his opponent tabled {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

The flop of {2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop didn't do much for Minten but the {6-Hearts} on the turn made him frown as he picked up some outs. The {J-Spades} on the river was one of his two initial outs, and the small blind said his goodbyes.

De Meulder Loses Some

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

We arrived on the flop as both blinds checked to Davidi Kitai on {6-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Kitai, presumably the initial raiser, bet 2,500 from under the gun. His neighbor Matthias De Meulder called and so did the small blind. The big blind folded.

The {2-Diamonds} on the turn saw the small blind and Kitai check. De Meulder bet 5,400 and just the small blind called, Kitai folded. The {5-Hearts} on the river saw the small blind check again. De Meulder shoved and the small blind called instantly for his last 9,100. De Meulder mucked as his opponent tabled {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the flush.

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Action folded to Kees van Brugge on the button and he opened for 1,200. Marcel Goldenbelt, acting out of the small blind, three-bet to 4,800. The big blind gave up and van Brugge shoved for 20,500 total. Goldenbelt called instantly.

Kees van Brugge: {A-}{A-Diamonds}
Marcel Goldenbelt: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Spades} and Van Brugge raked in the pot.

"What a player, huh?" Van Brugge quipped, referring to himself. "Also a nice hand; three pair," Van Brugge teased his friend Goldenbelt.

"How? Have I ever won a hand against you?" Goldenbelt replied with a smile on his face.

Everything Working for Veldhuis

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Lex Veldhuis is sitting behind a stack of 90,000, well above the average. He told us about a hand he played earlier today.

One of his opponents opened for 1,000 and Veldhuis three-bet to 3,500. The initial-raiser four-bet to 8,500 and Veldhuis flatted.

The initial-raiser bet 9,000 on {J-}{10-}{4-} rainbow and Veldhuis called. The {5-} on the turn saw the initial raiser shove for effectively 17,000 and Veldhuis called with aces. His opponent had kings and failed to catch up on the river.
