Smolders Bluffs on the Bubble
Level 19
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Bjorn Smolders raised from early position to 36,000 but the player in the small blind thought he could still limp. Pascal van Bouwel called the raise and so did big blind Aliosha Staes.
The flop fell and it checked to the initial raiser. He continued with a bet of 40,000 and he was called by both Van Bouwel and Staes.
The turn was the and it checked to Smolders again. He put both his opponents all-in and Van Bouwel tanked for 10 minutes. He eventually folded and said he folded after Staes folded as well.
