Wild Ride for Van Der Swaluw

Calum_Grant

Niveau 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Alexander Van Der Swaluw opened to 500,000 from early position and snap-called when Takahiro Tsugu jammed for 3,225,000.

Takahiro Tsugu: 9♥9♣
Alexander van der Swaluw: A♣A♦

Tsugu made a set of nines on the 9♠K♠6♠ flop and held out to crack the rockets after the K♥2♥ runout. Van Der Swaluw was reduced to crumbs and found himself in the big blind two hands later.

Wael Sarkis limped in and action folded to the Dutchman, and he checked his option. He then committed his last 250,000 on the Q♣8♣Q♥ flop and was quickly called.

Alexander van der Swaluw: 10♠9♥
Wael Sarkis: A♦A♥

Van Der Swaluw just laughed as he saw his opponent's hand, but he managed to take the lead after he made a straight on the J♦ turn. He sealed the checkmark after the 4♥ river for some justice.

Van Der Swaluw's wild ride was not over as the next hand he was at risk again with A♦5♥ and was up against Aziz Efe's 8♥8♠. The A♣9♦Q♥ flop put him out in front and he remained ahead after the 9♣5♦ runout.
