Marcel Vonk: J♣7♣5♦/8♦10♠9♣Q♦

It checked to Delsanto again on fifth street. Faced with another bet, Ronis mucked his cards. Vonk stuck around and called, however, and both players checked sixth street.

Vonk then led out on seventh street. Delsato called with a pained expression on his face, and he mucked his cards once Vonk tabled his straight.

Vonk is a regular at the WSOP mixed games, and has already racked up five cashes this summer. His deepest run thus far run came in the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E., where he came in third for $91,545.

However, Vonk has his eyes set on becoming the first Dutch person with two live bracelets as he continues his WSOP grind.
