Van Den Berg Busts Visser and Monnier in Crazy Hand

Nível 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

David Van Den Berg is the proud owner of many new chips thanks to a crazy confrontation at one of the outer tables.

The action began with Lucas Monnier moving all in for 86,000 from under the gun. Milan Tomasz Rabsz flat called from the hijack and Van Den Berg did the same from the button. The small blind folded only to have EPT Season 9 London Main Event champion Ruben Visser three-bet all in over the top from the big blind for 246,000. Action was back on Rabsz and he once again announced a call. Van Den Berg then announced that he was all in over the top for 530,000, putting action back Rabsz and prompting Visser to mouth an obscenity under his breath.

It was at this point that the hand took an unorthodox turn. Thinking that the action had concluded, original all-in raiser Lucas Monnier tabled his hand - . Despite an immediate shout from the dealer, the entire table saw the hand and it was ruled that it remain face up on the felt. Rabsz went into the tank, having already committed 246,000 to the pot. In the end, he opted to fold his hand and the cards were turned over with Monnier and Visser at risk.

Monnier:
Visser:
Van Den Berg:

Visser was in a commanding position but the flop spelled disaster as it came , pairing Van Den Berg's ace. The board completed with the and the , ensuring that both at risk players would fall. Van Den Berg scooped the massive pot and now has about 990,000 in chips.
