Slotboom Surrenders

[user66118]

A player in middle position opened with a raise to 250, and the small blind three-bet up to 800. In the big, Rolf Slotboom made it a total of 1,775, enough to quickly fold the initial raiser. The small blind eventually made the call, though, and it was heads up to the flop.

It brought {6-Hearts}

and a check from the small blind. Slotboom grabbed two red chips from the front of his stack and made a bet of 2,000. His opponent counted out more chips and made a check-raise to 7,200. That sent Slotboom into the think tank for several minutes. Never one to act quickly, "Robocop" shuffled his chips for a bit, then shuffled his cards back and forth between his fingers. After checking them several more times, he released them into the muck. They apparently didn't change into a winning hand, and Slotboom surrendered with a few quiet words.

He's down to 19,500 here in the early going.
