Van den Hoek Gets a Fold

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

The flop showed {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Spades} when we saw Jasper van den Hoek lead out for 2,800 and one opponent called. On the turn the {Q-Clubs} popped up and Van den Hoek continued with a bet of 5,000, which was quickly called by his opponent.

The {6-Diamonds} hit on the river and very quickly Van den Hoek bet another 7,000. This time his opponent folded and Van den Hoek raked in a nice pot.

A Fun Board for Den Braber

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

The action folded around to Marcel den Braber in the small blind and he announced a raise to 5,000. Ears perked up, as that's quite a big raise in the current vel, but we soon found out that this was enough to put his opponent all in.

After about five seconds the big blind called and the showdown went as following.

Den Braber: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

The flop brought {9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and the players at the table started calling for the seven of spades on the turn to make things more interesting. The turn however was the {4-Spades} to give Den Braber a flush draw.

The river then was the {7-Spades} and Patrick Renkers laughed, "You should've put it on the turn," as the big blind wished his former opponent 'Good luck' before leaving the tournament area.
