"Kicker Trouble"
Action folded to MCOP side event winner Kees van Brugge in the cutoff and the Dutchman made it 350. Rumen Nanev on the button folded but the small blind called. Antoine Vranken in the big blind had two 100 chips out for his big blind and remarked "Only 150 more?" before calling. "Yeah, its not much" smiled Van Brugge.
The small blind and big blind checked to Van Brugge on 
. A continuation bet of 550 followed, the small blind called and so did Vranken in the big blind. "You too?" Van Brugge smiled as Vranken tossed in the necessary chips to call.
All three of them checked the 
turn and the 
hit the river. The small blind checked and big blind Vranken bet 2,000. Van Brugge made the call, and so did the small blind.
"Kicker trouble" Vranken said before showing 
. Van Brugge smiled and showed 
; "Yeah kicker trouble". The small blind open mucked his 
and Van Brugge with the straight was pushed the pot.
"Maximum river" table mate Clyde Tjauw Foe said with a smile, and Van Brugge indeed wasn't complaining.
