Minten Exits

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We ran into Niek Minten on the rail, and he told us the story of his demise.

Joep van den Bijgaart opened for 500 and the small blind 3-bet to 1,350. Niek Minten in the big blind and cold 4-bet to 3,300, Van den Bijgaart folded but the small blind called.

The flop came {9-}{8-}{3-} with 2 diamonds and the small blind checked. Minten bet 2,525 and his neighbor check-raised to 8,300. Minten shoved for about 15,000 or so total and the small blind called.

Small blind: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Niek Minten: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-}

The {K-} on the turn spelled doom for Minten and the {6-Hearts} on the river couldn't save him.

Minten contemplates reentering now or waiting for Day 1b to give it another shot.
