Santo Bakker opens to 200,000 from under the gun and Hendrikus Soering defends his big blind, bringing down the 
flop.
The action checks through to the 
turn where Soering taps the table and Bakker then bets 200,000. Soering check-raises to 800,000 and Bakker calls after a moment of thought.
The 
completes the board and Soering puts in a hefty 1,200,000 bet. Bakker hits the tank but in the end, he shoves for a total of 1,800,000, and Soering calls.
Soering quickly turns over 
, giving him triple treys on the flop but they are no match for Bakker’s 
. Bakker takes down the pot, doubling his way into the chip lead thanks to a cooler of a flop.
Santo Bakker – 5,700,000 (57 bb)
Hendrikus Soering – 4,400,000 (44 bb)
