According to his twitter account, Marcel Vonk got a very fortuitous turn card to win a big pot.
If you don't know who Marcel Vonk is, that might be because the Dutch player has only won three ranking titles in his poker career, and his only WSOP bracelet win came in 2010, when he outlasted a field of 3,844 players, toppling a certain David Peters heads-up. While Peters has gone on to earn over $32 million in tournament earnings alone, Vonk's winning result of $570,960 in the $1,000 No Limit Hold'em event nine years ago still accounts for over half of his lifetime earnings at the tournament tables.
Vonk has just got lucky on the turn to survive in the Millionaire Maker as he detailed in a Tweet just moments ago. Vonk said that he four-bet pre-flop to 5,000 which his opponent called. The flop came 
and Vonk bet 5,000, to which his opponent responded to with a big shove to 25,000.
Despite not loving the situation, Vonk called. He held 
against his opponents 
top set. The turn was a king to turn the hand on its head and when the river was a blank, Vonk was sitting on 59,000. Can the Dutchman use it as a springboard for another bracelet victory which would double his earnings thanks to the Million-Dollar guarantee for top prize? He has a long way to go, but a great start to build on.
