Van Hulst Turns a Queen to Draw Level With Tsouloftas

Kai Cocklin

Level 39 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 1,600,000 from the button and Erik van Hulst shoved for 6,275,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Tsouloftas, he called.

Erik van Hulst: Q♦J♥ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: K♥J♦

Van Hulst was a huge underdog with the Colossus looking likely to reach heads-up play, but a runout of 6♥6♠10♣Q♠8♥ saw the Dutchman spike a queen on the turn to double up.

The flop fanned out Q♦2♣2♦. Hulst continued for 1,800,000 and Schuh called. The 4♥ turn changed nothing as Van Hulst put in another bet, of 4,500,000.

Georgios Tsouloftas limped in from the small blind with J♥10♦ and Erik van Hulst checked his option from the big blind holding J♦5♥.

On the 5♦Q♥3♦ flop, Tsouloftas bet 800,000, and Van Hulst raised to 2,000,000. Tsouloftas called.

A 7♥ dropped on the turn where Tsouloftas check-folded to a bet of 2,500,000 from Van Hulst.

Level 39 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas pushed in his stack of 9,275,000 on the button and was looked up by Erik van Hulst in the small blind.

Georgios Tsouloftas: A♥2♦ All in
Erik van Hulst: A♣Q♥

Tsouloftas was dominated, and the 10♠K♣A♠ flop did nothing to change that fact. The 2♠ did, however, as it gave him two pair to take a sizable lead.

The 9♣ river was a safe one, doubling him up and eclipsing Van Hulst in the counts.

A 7♥ dropped on the turn and Schuh led out for 2,500,000, which Tsouloftas called.

Michal Schuh open-jammed his button as chipleader. Georgios Tsouloftas called in the small blind for 14,750,000 and the cards went on their backs.

Georgios Tsouloftas: A♣Q♥ All in
Michal Schuh: A♥6♥

Tsouloftas had the dominating hand and had Schuh drawing dead on the 8♦Q♠K♦9♠ turn. The 9♦ river did not matter as Tsouloftas doubled up and retook the chip lead.

Level 39 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas made it 1,600,000 on the button and Michal Schuh defended his big blind.

The pair saw a flop of Q♠4♠A♠ where Schuh checked, Tsouloftas bet 800,000, and Schuh called.

A 4♣ came on the turn and after Schuh checked, Tsouloftas fired 3,500,000. Schuh called again.

When the K♦ completed the board, Schuh checked for a third time, and Tsouloftas unloaded the clip with a bet of 10,000,000. Schuh sat motionless for a while with his hand on his head, then stuck in the call.

Tsouloftas tabled J♠10♠ for a flopped flush, but Schuh had the winner with K♠6♠ for a higher flush.

Will Schuh regret not going for it all?!

Level 40 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Michal Schuh raised his button to 2,000,000 before Georgios Tsouloftas jammed in 14,000,000 from the small blind.

Erik van Hulst then called in the big blind, playing 13,375,000. Schuh asked counts for both players and spent some time in the tank. Eventually, he mucked K♦Q♣ for the others to show down.

Erik van Hulst: A♠10♦ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: Q♠8♦

Neither player received help from the 5♥9♠7♠3♠3♣ board. Van Hulst doubled up while Tsouloftas was left with less than a big blind.
