Kingma Gets a Fold
Level 11

A player raised to 3,400 and both blinds, including Martijn Kingma in the big blind, made the call. The flop brought out 
and all three players checked.
On the turn the 
popped up and Kingma bet 4,000 after the small blind had checked. The river was the 
and quickly Kingma bet 11,500, which got his opponent to fold.

Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Martijn Kingma raised to 3,300 from middle position and Germ Sikma, from him immediate left, moved all in for 20,400 chips. Joep van den Bijgaart woke up with a big hand in the blinds and he opted to re-shove.
Kingma folded and Van den Bijgaart turned over two queens versus Sikma's pair of jacks. The board brought four clubs, and Van den Bijgaart had one of those to give him a winnings flush.

Home Run For Hendriks
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
"Where have you been?" Alex Hendriks asked with a smile when we finally found him again in the poker room.
Hendriks was eager to tell us about a big hand he won that went as following.
Hendriks raised under the gun and the player in the cutoff called, as did the big blind. The flop brought out 
with two clubs and the big blind lead out for 5,500. Hendriks raised it up to 15,000 and the big blind made the call.
On the turn the 
hit and Hendriks' opponent lead for another 15,000 and the Dutchman called. The river was the fourth club and now the big blind checked. Hendriks bet 22,500 and out of nowhere his opponent moved all in.
Hendriks snap-called holding 
for the nut flush and his opponent showed[ 7d8d] for a straight. Hendriks raked in a huge pot and he now sits very comfortable on 147,000 chips.

Kingma Ousted
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Martijn Kingma was just all in for very little chips and he was up against two players, Joep van den Bijgaart and Roel Evers.
We picked up the action on the river when the board read 
and Evers bet 5,000. Van den Bijgaart hesitated for a bit but eventually he made the call.
Evers showed 
for a queen-high straight and Van den Bijgaart flashed 
before tossing his cards into the muck. King had flopped a great hand holding 
, but in the end he did not manage to triple up.
