Ronald Keijzer was seen betting out of the small blind for 18,000 on a flop of 10♦7♣10♥. His opponent, "Alakazam", put in a call, and did so too when Keijzer sized up to 60,000 on the 3♦ turn.
The 2♥ river completed the board. Keijzer eyed the stack of "Alakazam" before sliding in 210,000 chips, the majority of "Alakazam"s stack.
"Alakazam" let go of his hand after little thought and saw the pot being awarded to Keijzer.
