Van Waasdijk Slips After Costly Call
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
We arrived at the table with more than 40,000 chips already in the middle as Joost van Waasdijk faced a bet of 50,000 from a player in middle position.
The board read 5♥A♠9♣K♦A♥. After a brief pause, van Waasdijk, seated in the small blind, made the call. His opponent tabled A♦8♣ for trip aces, while the Dutchman revealed K♠10♣.
Van Waasdijk's pair of kings was not enough, and the hand left him with just over 100,000 chips.
