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: A♣4♣ All in
Wouter Van Efferen: K♣K♦

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

The 8♠5♦3♥ 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.

Level 20 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Henrik Veldhoen opened to 16,000 from the cutoff, and received calls from Yves Thalmann on the button and Adrien Deters in the small blind,

On the 9♠5♠4♣ flop, Deters led out with a bet of 11,000, which only Thalmann called.

The 9♥ turn and Q♣ river were checked through, and Thalmann mucked when Deters tabled 8♠8♣.

With around 200,000 in the middle on a board of 9♠6♠6♣2♦5♠, Mathias Moutaoukil fired out a bet of 160,000, leaving himself not much behind, which was sufficient to force a fold from Eric Lescot.

Jaaefar Bettioui was all-in for around 90,000 and at risk against Xiaohua Yang.

Jaaefar Bettioui: 6♦6♣ All in
Xiaohua Yang: A♠Q♥

It was a fair fight, but Bettioui fell behind after the A♣K♥2♠ flop, and could not reverse the position on the 8♣ turn or 2♦ river.

Set for Burtin

Nicolas Burtin
Nicolas Burtin

A big pot of 240,000 had brewed between Nicolas Burtin and Franck Bitan on a board of 8♥7♠3♦A♠.

Burtin was all-in for 240,000, and Bitan was in the tank. He burned through three time banks before taking a final glance at his opponent, who was sitting with his hand under his chin, tilted away from Bitan, who was sitting directly beside him. Suddenly, Bitan made the call.

Nicolas Burtin: 7♥7♠ All in
Franck Bitan: A♥Q♣

It was a set versus top pair, and Bitan was dead, the 4♦ river completing the board.
