Van Fleet Chips Up

Level 30 : 125,000/250,000, 32,500 ante

Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet got through with a three-bet jam against an open-raise and cold-call, and he then won another pot against Joel "Odonkor1" Nordkvist to nearly close the gap.

Nordkvist raised the button to 530,000 and Van Fleet came along out of the big blind. On a {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop, Van Fleet check-called a bet of 615,600 and the {7-Spades} turn brought no action. A min-bet after the {2-Spades} river by Van Fleet earned the pot uncontested.

Level 30 : 125,000/250,000, 32,500 ante

Right after the field was reduced to the final four, Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle was at risk with {a-Spades}{q-Spades} against the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} of Joel "Odonkor1" Nordkvist and kept his hopes of the SCOOP title alive on a {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades} river.

However, two orbits later both clashed again and Rolle min-raised the button to 500,000 out of a stack of 3.1 million. Nordkvist jammed the small blind and Rolle quickly caleld.

Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Joel "Odonkor1" Nordkvist: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
