Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Nick van Bemmel
Nick van Bemmel

Nick Van Bemmel had 2,500 on the table in a reraised pot in the small blind and Kyle Cheong had raised it up again to 8,200 from the big blind. Van Bemmel called.

The flop came 36J. Van Bemmel checked and Cheong continued for 4,000, which Van Bemmel called.

The turn was the 9. Van Bemmel checked and Cheong sized up to 8,000. Van Bemmel called again to make for an inflated pot.

The river came the 6. Van Bemmel checked for a third street and Cheong moved all in for 27,000. Van Bemmel went into the tank for a long time, occassionally glancing across at his opponent. Eventually, he moved his chips into the middle for the call.

Cheong showed A8 for a bluff. Van Bemmel showed AQ and had caught the bluff with just ace-queen high to win the pot. Cheong was eliminated, congratulating van Bemmel as he left the table.

"Nice call man," said Cheong, a sentiment echoed by others around the table.
