Van Efferen Can't Watch

Level 20 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Wouter van Efferen

Sam Heerkens opened to 16,000 from the hijack, and was met with a three-bet to 51,000 from Wouter Van Efferen in the big blind.

Heerkens thought it through for a reasonable period, before four-bet jamming for around 350,000.

"I can't fold this one", said Van Efferen as he made the call, slightly covering his opponent.

Sam Heerkens: A4 All in
Wouter Van Efferen: KK

"I never win these", said Van Efferen as he viewed his opponent's holding, and he got up out of his chair.

The 853 flop was not sweat free, bringing a gutshot for Heerkens, and Van Efferen cupped his hands over his eyes, barely able to watch the runout.

The 5 was a brick, as was the 8 river. "Yes!" said a relieved Van Efferen, as he lent across the table for a fist bump with his opponent after wishing Heerkens good luck.
