Van Zadelhoff's Rainbow Adds To His Stack

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Recent World Series of Poker bracelet winner Ronnie Bardah was the first player to show any aggression, open-raising from the cutoff seat to 350. Jackson Genovesi was the small blind and he called; Steven van Zadelhoff tossed in the extra chips from the big blind.

The trio shared the {5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop but nobody wanted to bet and the action was checked around. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn saw Genovesi lead out with a 500 bet but van Zadelhoff either had a strong hand or didn't believe Genovesi's story (or both) and promptly raised to 1,625 using a pink, yellow, red and black chip to do so.

"Is that a rainbow?" asked Bardah

"Not suite It is missing this blue (5,000) one!" replied van Zadelhoff.

Bardah folded. Genovesi leaned over to get a better view of van Zadelhoff and must have picked up on something because as soon as he leaned back into a normal sitting position he flicked his cards into the muck.
