Pietersz Cruising
Barrie Pietersz is one of the bigger stacks in the room, he plays about 100,000 at the moment. Not only did he bust Jorn Walthaus not too long ago, he also won two other big hands.
Pietersz told he flopped a straight versus a flush draw first, and won quite some chips there. His opponent had a gutshot on top of his flush draw, but Pietersz blocked those outs with his flopped straight, so it was just the flush outs he had to worry about, which stayed in the deck.
Not much later, he won another huge one.
Pietersz told us he made a bet on 
with two spades holding 
. His opponent made the call. On the turn an off suit 
appeared and Pietersz bet again. His opponent raised, and Pietersz called. The river 
made his opponent bet all in for two times the size of the pot, and Pietersz tank-called with his rivered straight. His opponent had 
for a lower straight, and Pietersz gained a lot of chips.
