Ultimate Preflop Cooler

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Douglas Weymeersch

Action was picked up after a hand, with Zen Pool on his feet after heading home in one of the worst ways possible. The board read 3♥7♥7♠2♥4♠ and Pool had K♥K♦ in front of him. Despite the strength of his hand, Douglas Weymeersch had also got all the way to the river, and was tabling A♠A♣.

Weymeersch let PokerNews know that he and Pool had got into a preflop betting war, ending in Pool's six-bet shove, and Weymeersch's call.

"I wanted to fold," said Pool as he was exiting. "I'm not good enough yet, though.”
