Van Camberg Wins an Early Flip
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
In the first hand dealt on Table #120, Jakub Sterba raised to 24,000 from early position and Walter Van Camberg shoved 176,000 from the next seat. It folded back around to Sterba, who made a quick call.
Walter Van Camberg: A♥K♠ 
Jakub Sterba: J♦J♣
Sterba kept his advantage after the 3♦8♣3♠ flop, but an A♦ on the turn propelled Van Camberg into the lead. Only a jack on the river would change the outcome of the hand, but instead the 7♦ rolled off, which earned Van Camberg an early double-up.
