Van Wieringen Barely Escapes From Disastrous Exit

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Pim van Wieringen
Pim van Wieringen

The biggest pot of the tournament just played out and on the turn Niels van Leeuwen was one card away from having half the chips in play with six players remaining. The river however saved Pim van Wieringen who found a way to chop this following hand to stay alive.

Van Wieringen raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Van Leeuwen three-bet from the button to 210,000. The action folded back to Van Wieringen who opted to four-bet making it 465,000 total.

Van Leeuwen gave it some thought before moving all in and Van Wieringen seemed far from happy but eventually he made the call to put his tournament life at risk in a pot worth over 4.2 million chips.

Van Leeuwen: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Van Wieringen: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and the straight on the board probably made Van Leeuwen's stomach turn. Van Wieringen seemed to be in shock as he pulled back the chips that almost belonged to Van Leeuwen.

Big Chop!

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

We caught the action on the turn when the board read {2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Ronald Keijzer bet 170,000 into Marcel Luske. Luske called from the button and on the river the {J-Spades} hit.

Keijzer moved all in and Luske tanked for a bit before standing up, announcing 'call' and slamming his {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} on the table with a smile. Keijzer showed {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and the pot was chopped up.
