Great Call By van Alphen

Niels van Alphen has just been put under intense pressure by Keld Volquardsen and has passed the test with flying colours.

Volquardsen raised to 17,000 and van Alphen defended his blind. The flop was {10-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} and both players checked. On the turn the dealer gave them the {7-Spades} and van Alphen led for 15,000. Volquardsen very quickly raised to 40,000 and van Alphen called. On the river we saw the {3-Hearts} and van Alphen - who had around 140,000 behind - checked to Volquardsen who bet 65,000. Van Alphen took a few minutes to compose himself before making the call and Volquardsen immediately started to shake his head before turning over {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} for ace-high. Van Alphen, on the other hand, turned over {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} for a great call.
