Van Wesemael Was So Happy (for a Second)

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

From middle position, Sander van Wesemael made it 1,200 to go and he was called in two spots; the button and big blind Andreas Høivold.

Høivold checked blind before the dealer fanned {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Van Wesemael answered with a continuation bet of 1,700. The button called, and so did Høivold. Høivold checked blind again and the {J-Diamonds} hit the turn. Van Wesemael bet 4,000 this time around and just the button called, Høivold folded.

The {2-Diamonds} fell on the river and Van Wesemael bet 7,500. His opponent called instantly and Van Wesemael was happy to show his {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for the nut straight. Unfortunately for him, he would get only half the pot as the button showed {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the same straight.

"I was so happy!" said Van Wesemael about getting called.

"I was also happy" said the button with a smile.
