Tice Helps Van Rooij Increase His Stack
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Merijn van Rooij opened to 4,000 in the cutoff and Landon Tice three-bet to 10,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Van Rooij four-bet to 25,000. Tice five-bet shoved all in and Van Rooij called off his stack of 85,000.
Merijn van Rooij: 
Landon Tice: 
The flop fell 
to give both players a pair of aces but Van Rooij held the better kicker. The 
on the turn and the 
on the river changed nothing as Van Rooij earned a double-up.
