Van Zadelhoff Victim of Cracked Aces
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Picking up the action on the turn, Joe McKeehen from under the gun was involved in a hand with Steven van Zadelhoff in the cutoff and a player in the big blind. With the board reading 
the big blind checked and McKeehen bet out 5,000. Van Zadelhoff called while the big blind folded to send the two players to the river.
McKeehen bet enough to force van Zadelhoff all in on the 
river and the Dutchman snap called. Van Zadelhoff held 
but his rockets were shot down by McKeehen, who had rivered a straight with 
. Just as he was standing to go, van Zadelhoff was handed a beer he had ordered with tablemate Chance Kornuth. In a show of good sportsmanship, he clinked glasses with Kornuth and wished the table good luck before making his exit.
