Busto Soon? Very Unlikely
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Johan van Til, better known in online poker circles by his moniker "Busto Soon" started the day with just a single 5,000 chip and it looked like his nickname was quite apt. However, the old poker saying that you only need a chip and a chair to win a tournament seems to be true as he now sits behind a stack of 67,500.
He did have a few more but he just lost a hand against Yotam Bar-Yosef over on Table 12. Bar-Yosef made it 1,700 to play from middle position and then called as van Til three-bet to 3,600 from the small blind. The flop came down and van Til lead out with a bet of 4,100. Bar-Yosef waited a few moments before moving all in for 26,800. Van Til was not prepared to match this bet and folded his hand.
