"I Still Have My Balls!"

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a board of {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{K-Spades}, we saw 5,500 going in between three players. The {7-Diamonds} hit the river and Thierry van den Berg, acting from the big blind, shoved all in for 17,150.

His neighbor, seated under the gun, folded quite quickly.

Action was on the player in the cutoff and he tanked for some time before folding as well.

Van den Berg slammed {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} on the table and exclaimed: "I still have my balls!"

As Van den Berg started stacking, he asked if his neighbor had a hit and flush draw (under the gun nodded) and asked the cutoff if he had ace-king (the cutoff too nodded).

"That was the only option I had!"
