Double or Nothing for Rinkema

Level 4
Remkooooooooo
Remkooooooooo

Pot-Limit Omaha

Our Dutch colleague, Remko Rinkema is playing the event today, and we've admittedly been ignoring him a bit. This particular blogger has immensely strong cooler powers, so we chose to watch from afar for the first few levels. Rinkema was down to just 1,400 chips during the last game, but he's found the first double-back.

A player in early position opened to 400, and another player flatted before Rinkema three-bet shoved with his short stack. The initial raiser called, the monkey in the middle ducked out, and Rinkema was heads-up for his tournament life.

Showdown
Rinkema: {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts}
Opponent: {4-} {5-} {7-} {9-}

The board ran out pretty ugly, and a naked king on the turn was all Rinkema needed to drag the pot. He's back to 3,000 and back in the game here before the dinner break.
