Hoogendijk's Enjoying The Poker Action

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Daan Hoogendijk just noticed yours truly roaming around the room and he was kind enough to introduce himself. Hoogendijk is one of the many players in today's field who doesn't play for a living, but enjoys the perks of getting to play a WPT event close to home.

Hoogendijk referred back to when he played EPT San Remo back in 2011, and pointed out that it was a great experience to be able to play such a big event. As a passionate poker fan Hoogendijk follows live poker events all over the world, and this might be his turn to make the frontpage with a big victory.

"I'm in sales, so usually I can tell from their expression if they have it or not," Hoogendijk said with a smile as he was dealt a hand in the big blind.

Just now a player raised from the cutoff to 425 and Hoogendijk opted to call saying, "He doesn't have it, he just called a re-raise with four-six."

"It was suited," the player in the cutoff defended himself with a smile.

The flop brought out {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Hoogendijk check-called 550 and on the turn the {J-Spades} popped up. Both players checked and on the river, the {4-Diamonds}, Hoogendijk fired out 1,500.

After his opponent had called Hoogendijk said, "I got lucky on the river," as he tabled {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}. The player in the cutoff flashed a {7-} before mucking his hand and giving up some chips to Hoogendijk who sits on around 41,000 chips.
