We could hardly see Kees van Brugge, hiding behind massive towers of chips stacked at least 40 high. Van Brugge told us he had done that in typical "Van Brugge Style".

Van Brugge explained how he had just doubled to 66,000 when he opened the button with {A-Spades}{6-Spades}. Dan Carter, in the small blind, 3-bet and Van Brugge called. The flop came {A-}{Q-Spades}{9-Spades} and Carter made a continuation bet. Van Brugge called.

The turn was a {5-} bringing a second flush draw. Carter shoved for 1.5 times the pot and Van Brugge called.

Carter had {A-}{J-} and was soon out of there as a {X-Spades} hit the river to complete Van Brugge's flush.

Van Brugge wasn't too worried when he got it in, "Everyone knew I was gonna get there," he proclaimed with a big smile on his face.
