Van Rooij Wins With King-High

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action was picked up on the river with the board showing 74AA2 and around 230,000 already in the middle from previous action. Thomas Phillips, in the big blind, was first to act and took some time before checking. Merijn van Rooij checked back behind.

Phillips tabled 109 for a missed flush draw, but Van Rooij double-checked his cards before turning over K5 for king-high, which was enough to take down the pot.
