Level 7
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Abraham Uittenbogaard opened to 3,000 from the cutoff and faced Lorenzo van der Velde who defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♠J♦10♠ and Uittenbogaard continued for 5,500. Van der Velde check-called and checked the 4♥ turn. Uittenbogaard fired a second barrel to 18,000 and Van der Velde called.
Van der Velde went into the tank on the J♥ river and checked. Uittenbogaard immediately bet a very small 5,000. Van der Velde raised all-in for 48,500 and Uittenbogaard called.
Lorenzo van der Velde: Q♣8♥
Abraham Uittenbogaard: A♣J♠
Uittenbogaard rivered trips but Van der Velde flopped a straight and doubled up.
