Balls of Steel for Refos
As we arrived the turn was already out in a hand between Gerard van Veen (under the gun) and Raoul Refos (late position), with the board reading . Van Veen checked and Refos answered with a bet of 5,100. Van Veen called.
The completed the board and Van Veen checked. Refos silently glanced at his own stack, studied Van Veen's stack, and carefully tossed in three 5,000-chips for a bet of 15,000.
Van Veen wasn't too happy about all of this, and at one point let out a small sigh. He tanked for some time before eventually mucking his cards.
Refos let out a big smile and showed while raking in the chips.
"You dare huh?" said WPT Amsterdam 2015 and WPT Tournament Of Champions winner Farid Yachou.
"I had to!" answered Refos with an even bigger smile.
