Van Driessche Scores the Knockout

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A big pot came together on a board of {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Clement Van Driessche, in the cutoff, went all in.

Van Driessche's opponent had a similar stack remaining, and contemplated a call from the button. After some time, the button made the call.
