Santerne Wins Round Three
Level 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Thomas Santerne opened the action with a raise to 160,000 as first to act, receiving a call from his neighbor Duco ten Haven. Pieter Aerts also called in the big blind and the three saw a flop of Q♣4♦9♥.
It checked to Ten Haven, who fired a small bet of 150,000. Aerts quickly mucked but Santerne stuck around and called. On the 9♦ turn, Ten Haven sized up to 650,000 chips, but it was not enough to deter Santerne from making another call.
Santerne then led out for 450,000 on the K♣ river, resulting in a snap fold from his opponent. Santerne won the pot and took over the chip lead from Brewer as a result.
