Wolfgang van Breukelen Eliminated

[user4144]

A curious three-way hand just took place on Table 1. A short-stacked Wolfgang van Breukelen pushed all in for 1,200, Franciscus Dekkers called and John Duthie, in the big blind I believe, checked his option.

Both remaining players checked the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

flop, only for Dekkers to check-call, albeit it after a quick recheck of the cards, a bet of 1,000 from Duthie on the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

turn.

The {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

on the river led to a quick bet of 2,000 from Dekkers, which Duthie called. "Sick," commented van Breukelen as Dekkers flipped {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

for the straight, van Breukelen's {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{2-Spades}

leading on the flop, but out-gunned on the turn.

Duthie, meanwhile, confessed to pocket aces. "I didn't look preflop," he added.
