Tom Verbruggen

Three ways to the A ♦️ 8 ♥️ 6 ♦️ flop, Aj Acdal and Tom Verbruggen checked out of the blinds. Oliver Lirio bet 15,000 and Acdal called before Verbruggen jammed for 238,000 total.

Lirio asked for a count and then called when it was deemed to be for 213,000. They had to recount however and Lirio asked "can I take my chips back?"

"Up to you" Verbruggen smirked.

Lirio did call the shove though, and Acdal folded.

Tom Verbruggen: J ♦️ 8 ♦️

Oliver Lirio: Q ♦️ Q ♣️

"Give me black," Lirio asked and the 8 ♠️ turn as well as K ♠️ river were black ... just that Verbruggen made trips.

Player Chip Count
Oliver Lirio 1,240,000
Tom Verbruggen 530,000
