Van den Bijgaart Dodges a Bullet

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

A player in early position moved all in for his final 35,000 chips after which Joep van den Bijgaart was next to act. Van den Bijgaart moved all in for about 100,000 over the top and the action folded to a player in late position.

After quite some tanking this player opted to fold, and the showdown turned out to be heads up.

Van den Bijgaart: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and when the ace hit the river the player who had tank-folded before the flop put on a sour face.

"Ace-king," he sighed and Van den Bijgaart realized he got away from a pretty unlucky situation.
