Sardal Beats Two Premium Pairs
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
With around 19,000 in the middle to the 
river, Filip Holmqvist and Jan Kusters checked their option. Tal Sardal then bet 5,000 and Holmqvist tank-called after more than two minutes. Kusters dropped back into his chair with sheer disgust and eventually opted to call as well.
Sardal exposed the 
for a straight while Holmqvist revealed his 
for an overpair. Somehow, Kusters also opted to show his 
as well and then mentioned he should have folded because Holmqvist raised preflop. "You don't really beat anything," Martin Paap concluded as table neighbour Kusters discussed the hand with him.
