Double or Nothing for Van Zadelhoff

[user66118]

In early position, Steven Van Zadelhoff made a raise to 600, and he found action from PokerStars qualifier Dominykas Karmazinas in the big blind. The two men saw the flop bring {6-Diamonds}

, and Karmazinas led out into the pot with a bet of 3,000. Van Zadelhoff moved all in for a total of 5,750, and his opponent quickly called to put him at risk.

Showdown
Van Zadelhoff: {J-Spades}

Karmazinas: {7-Diamonds}

Van Zadelhoff was ahead, but he would need to fade a ton of outs to survive. The turn {7-Spades}

gave Karmazinas even more outs to make trips or two pair, but a blank {4-Hearts}

filled out the board.

There was some serious confusion when it came time to pay the pot, and everyone at the table was involved in trying to sort out the math. We think they got it eventually; the pot was pushed to Van Zadelhoff, and he's picked up a much-needed double.
