Van Til Flushed Out

[user75032]

Our Dutch colleagues will be pleased to see that we are making our first mention of Johannes Van Til in today's coverage. They will be disappointed to learn that it will be the last mention as well.

Van Til was all in with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

against about the worst hand he could see -- Michael Katz's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

. We're not sure if the chips went in preflop or after a flop of {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

, but it doesn't much matter. The board came running diamonds, {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

and

{5-Diamonds}

, to improve each player to a flush. Katz's flush was the nut flush.

When the stacks were counted down, Van Til was busto. Katz is up to 270,000.
