Naj Ajez Leaves Bas De Laat on Fumes

Bas de Laat check-calls the river bet of Naj Ajez for 26,500 with the board showing 8♣ 5♥ 2♥ 7♦ K♠ . Ajez shows 7♣ 5♣ for turned two pair and that wins a very healthy pot. De Laat is down to only a couple of big blinds and busts soon thereafter.

Rolands Norietis Raises the Flop

In a single-raised pot with 500 preflop three ways, the flop shows 9♦ 8♠ 2♦ . Kristopher Rundquist bets 1,000 when checked to and Bas de Laat calls. Rolands Norietis then check-raises to 4,000 and Rundquist eventually folds, as does de Laat.
"Top top," Rundquist says and adds "it's possible he had an overpair".
