Making a Pierre

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After cracking aces with ace king on Day 1, then making quads against the nut full house on day 2, we were wondering what Shander de Vries had in store for us today on Day 3.

"Royal flush?" he said hopefully as he began to stack his now unbagged chips. It did not take long for him to get involved in the action...

The Dutchman had raise to 10,000 preflop with Pierre Neuville moving all in for 115,000 behind, a quick recheck of the cards and de Vries called with {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} only to find himself dominated by the Belgian's {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. The flop came {4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Neuville did a weird little dance and although the {3-Spades} turn brought chop outs, the river was the {7-Clubs} and the latter doubled up to about 240,000.
