Brummelhuis Busted Van Hoof

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Michiel Brummelhuis
Michiel Brummelhuis

Michiel Brummelhuis was playing around with a small tower of 5,000-chips, which prompted us to ask him in between hands how he had gotten a hold of all of those. Brummelhuis told us how he busted fellow former November Niner Jorryt van Hoof in the first level of the day.

Brummelhuis opened {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for 300 and found a caller in Robert Soogea. Jorryt van Hoof squeezed to 1,800 and both Brummelhuis and Soogea called.

The {J-}{10-}{7-} flop and {9-} turn were checked by all three players. The {8-} on the river made for a rainbow board with a straight readily available to all. Action checked to Van Hoof who bet 6,000. Brummelhuis shoved for about starting stack and Van Hoof called with {A-}{Q-}. Brummelhuis showed the nuts and busted Van Hoof, catapulting himself to the position of chip leader.

When we arrived just now, the player under the gun opened for 600. His neighbor called and so did Michiel Brummelhuis (middle position) and Kees Alblas (big blind). The flop of {J-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} saw Alblas check. The initial raiser continued for 1,100 and under the gun plus one folded, Brummelhuis and Alblas both called.

Alblas checked blind before the {4-Clubs} turn and was followed by checks from the initial raiser and Brummelhuis. All three of them checked the {Q-Hearts} on the river and Alblas showed {Q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} with a big smile on his face. His two opponents both mucked.

"Why didn't you bluff?" Alblas asked Brummelhuis in Dutch with a big laugh. "What's wrong with you?" Alblas continued with a big grin on his face.

"I thought it was ok like this," Brummelhuis replied with a smile just as big.
