Sousa and Slotboom Switch Stacks

We joined a heads-up pot as the dealer ran out a flop of {2-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}. Rolf Slotboom checked first to act, and Rogerio Sousa stuck out a bet that appeared to be 19,000. After a moment, Slotboom announced an all in for an additional 41,800, sending Sousa into the tank. He would take several minutes to make his decision as he counted down his stack and cut out the calling chips.

With a reluctant, "All right," he plunked the chips into the pot to put Slotboom at risk. But the news was pleasant for "Robocop". He tabled {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}, and Sousa shook his head as he turned over {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}.

The turn {6-Clubs} changed nothing, and the {3-Clubs} that filled out the board secured an early double up for Slotboom. He's back up to about 135,000 as he and Sousa essentially trade stacks.
