Tom Verbruggen opened to 20,000 from under the gun and was joined on the flop by the blinds, Kunal Patni and Aaron Gao.

Patni check-folded and Gao check-called when Verbruggen continued for 30,000 on the 9 7 A flop.

Both checked the 6 turn to the 4 river, where Gao led for a hefty 165,000, sending the Dutch player into the tank.

After using two time banks, Verbruggen eventually stuck in the call. Gao turned over T 2 for not much of anything, and the pot went to Verbruggen, who tabled A 5 .
