Van den Berg Bounces Back

We picked this one up on the flop. With the board showing {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, Thierry van den Berg pushed all in with his last 8,250 and was called. His opponent showed {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for top pair, but van den Berg had {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

The turn was the {4-Clubs} and the river the {K-Spades}, and van den Berg has jumped back up to 23,000.
