Good Start for Van Zadelhoff

Steven Van Zadelhoff raised to 300 from early position and got two callers. The flop came down {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs} and the big blind led out for 500. The third player folded and Van Zadelhoff called. The turn was the {K-Hearts} and the big blind fired again for 1,000. Van Zadelhoff called and they went to the river, which came the {J-Clubs}. The big blind bet 5,000 and Van Zadelhoff called.

The big blind showed {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}, having turned trip kings, but Van Zadelhoff rivered the nut flush with {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} to take down the pot. He's now up to 34,500.
