The Story of Thom

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

The name Thom Gerrits didn't really ring a bell, but we saw his name behind a who mountain of chips and decided to investigate.

Gerrits played a big pot earlier he told us, one where he would flop a flush and get paid.

Gerrits flatted a 1,000 raise with {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and got squeezed on behind him to 4,300. The initial raiser made the call and so did Gerrits.

The flop would come as beautiful as it could with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Both the initial raiser and Gerrits checked to the agressor who bet 5,000. Gerrits eventually check raised to 12,225 and received a call.

Gerrits would then bet 12,725 on an {7-} turn and 23,000 all in on an off suit {8-} river. His opponent made the call holding {A-}{7-} for two pair both times, but could hit the shower soon after because of it.

A table over Dennis Smit is seated, another Dutchie with a more than reasonable stack. Smit has just over 100,000 in front of him after he just bet the river for 8,200 in a rather big pot with the board displaying {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. His opponent folded and left the pot to Smit.
