Rob Hollink

Asa Gregory Smith of the United Kingdom sat on the small blind and was heads-up against Rob Hollink of the Netherlands, who was under the gun.

In front of them was a very juicy pot of around 700,000 beside a complete board that showed 8 6 J 4 7

Smith checked his option on the small blind and Hollink pushed in 500,000, covering the remaining 280,000 stack of Smith.

Smith tanked, looked at the monitor to check out the pay jump. There were 42 players remaining with 39th place making the jump. An elimination happened nearby and the screen showed 41.

Smith made use of his last two time banks, peeking at his cards constantly. They were still the same. With time running out and the pay jump no longer happening, he decided to push his remaining chips in.

Smith showed K J for a pair of jacks.

Hollink tabled K 4 for a four-to-eight straight, winning the pot and sending out Smith as the 41st place finisher for TWD 137,600 (~USD 4,400).

Meanwhile, Hollink increased his chip stack.
