Rensink-ing

Claudio Rinaldi checked to Johan Rensink on the turn with the board reading {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. Rensink bet 6,000. Rinaldi then raised to 26,000. Rensink tanked, but then made the call, leaving himself with 875 chips behind. Yes, 875 chips.

The river brought the {7-Hearts} and Rinaldi checked as if he had missed something. Rensink checked in the same manner. Rinaldi didn't seem like he wanted to turn up his hand, but tabled {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} for king high after he missed a straight draw. Rensink turned up {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} for a busted flush and straight draw and only held five high. Rinaldi's king high was good enough to scoop the pot.

"You have how many chips left?!?!" questioned one of the players at the table to Rensink. "Maybe if you bet he would have folded."

Rinaldi now has 95,000 chips. A few hands later, Rensink was eliminated.
