Vietnam National Cup (9,000,000 VND)

After losing the hand with K♦ T♠ Haverkamp was the short stack at the table. Being in the big-blind he was committed so after Shohei Osugi opened from middle-position he was automatically all-in.

Ronald Haverkamp: 9♦ 6♥

Shohei Osugi: K♠ T♦

The board ran out A♦ 8♣ 2♠ J♥ A♣ busting Haverkamp in 7th place. He will take VND 104,470,000 back home to the Netherlands.

Ronald Haverkamp shoved all in on the button and Tuan Nguyen called from the big blind.

Tuan Nguyen: 7♠ 7♦

Ronald Haverkamp: K♦ T♠

Nguyen led the hand with pocket sevens and improved to a set of sevens after the flop of T♣ A♣ 7♥ .

The 9♥ hit on the turn and Haverkamp was drawing dead. The river brought the bricky 5♣ , leaving Haverkamp short-stacked at the final table.

Only having 525,000 remaining, Sirinonthanawet Suthon open jammed from the button. Ronald Haverkamp in the big-blind made the call.

Sirinonthanawet Suthon: A♦ K♦

Ronald Haverkamp: A♣ J♣

Suthon got in as good as he can, and it looked likely that he would double-up, but the poker gods had other plans as the flop came J♥ J♠ 3♠ . Turn 9♠ and river Q♠ did not bring the miracle after the flop for Suthon who busted in 11th place for VND 67,630,000.

In the hand right before the remaining 15 players are going to have a break, Shi Bei decided to shove all in from middle position. This was followed by a string of folds of every player until Ronald Haverkamp dropped in a call from the big blind.

Shi Bei: T♥ 8♥

Ronald Haverkamp: A♥ 7♣

The dealer quickly delivered a clean board of 3♣ 3♦ K♦ 5♣ 5♦ , sending Bei to cash in, in 15th place for a payday of VND 49,460,000 (~$1,950).

On the flop of 7♥ 4♣ 5♦ , there were around 170,000 chips in the middle when Krisada Pinthakasetrin checked the action from the small blind to Ngoc Quach from the hijack, who bet 50,000. Ronald Haverkamp on the button and Pinthakasetrin called.

Three players saw a 6♣ land on the turn, where Pinthakasetrin checked over and Quach shoved all in for around 470,000. Only Pinthakasetrin dropped in a call.

Ngoc Quach: A♥ A♦

Krisada Pinthakasetrin: J♣ 8♣

Quach picked up the lead with pocket aces but Pinthakasetrin held a flush draw and was looking to spike a club for next street. The dealer soon delivered a 3♣ , completing Pinthakasetrin’s flush and leaving Quach crippled after this hand.
