Van Hoof's Kings Hold Up
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Dutch pot-limit omaha specialist Jorryt 'TheCleaner11' van Hoof just found himself a big double up after the bubble.
Van Hoof raised to 12,000 under the gun plus two and the action folded to Rodney Doran who three-bet from the small blind to 26,000. The big blind tanked for a while and folded after which the action was back on Van Hoof.
Van Hoof tanked for a bit but eventually he moved all in for 168,000 total.
Doran stared into the distance for quite some time before putting in the call risking most of his own chips.
Van Hoof: 
Doran: 
"I folded ace-queen suited!" the player in the small blind yelled, much to Van Hoof's liking.
The board ran out 
and since neither player had diamonds the pot was awarded to Van Hoof.
