Balls of Steel for Refos

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

As we arrived the turn was already out in a hand between Gerard van Veen (under the gun) and Raoul Refos (late position), with the board reading {J-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Spades}. Van Veen checked and Refos answered with a bet of 5,100. Van Veen called.

The {6-Diamonds} completed the board and Van Veen checked. Refos silently glanced at his own stack, studied Van Veen's stack, and carefully tossed in three 5,000-chips for a bet of 15,000.

Van Veen wasn't too happy about all of this, and at one point let out a small sigh. He tanked for some time before eventually mucking his cards.

Refos let out a big smile and showed {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts} while raking in the chips.

"You dare huh?" said WPT Amsterdam 2015 and WPT Tournament Of Champions winner Farid Yachou.

"I had to!" answered Refos with an even bigger smile.
