De Rooij Unfortunate
Thomas de Rooij started out doing extremely well today, but he's dropped some chips and is now forced to play the role of (relative) short stack. He told us about two hands that "helped" him get there.
The cutoff opened for 700 and De Rooij three-bet the button to 2,100 holding 
. Both blinds folded and the cutoff four-bet to 5,800. De Rooij called in position. The flop came 
and the cutoff bet 5,500. De Rooij called and called his neighbor's shove for 12,300 on the 
turn as well. The cutoff showed 
and De Rooij missed the jacks and hearts that would've given him the pot.
Next up, De Rooij called a middle position raise from the button holding 
. The small blind over called and the three of them saw a flop of 
. The small blind checked and the initial raiser bet 1,200. De Rooij called, and so did the small blind.
Both the small blind and the initial raiser checked on the 
turn. De Rooij bet 4,500 and just the small blind called, the initial raiser folded. The river came the 
and the small blind check-called 12,500 with 
to beat De Rooij's set of sixes.
