Rufas Rivers Naalden

We caught the hand from the river, but our friends over at PokerNews.nl with their amazing Dutch language skills got Mr. Naalden to reconstruct the rest of the action for us.

It turned out that Naalden had raised preflop and Luis Rufas had called before they both checked the {10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop. Rufas bet 10,000 on the {4-Diamonds} turn and Naalden called.

The river was the {j-Spades} and this time (this is where we caught the action ourselves) Rufas bet out 26,100. Naalden called - but mucked and looked most displeased when Rufas turned over {a-}{j-} for a rivered pair. We understand that Naalden had had {a-}{q-}, ahead until the river.

Naalden now has 192,000. Rufas, who is in a wheelchair, seems to have somewhat limited mobility meaning that stacking his chips takes him rather longer than some other players, so it was hard to get an accurate count at the time. But he has a lot, and we are fairly certain that he is still the chip leader at this time.
