Van Fleet Chips Up

Level 30 : 125,000/250,000, 32,500 ante

Jon "apestyles" Van Fleet got through with a three-bet jam against an open-raise and cold-call, and he then won another pot against Joel "Odonkor1" Nordkvist to nearly close the gap.

Nordkvist raised the button to 530,000 and Van Fleet came along out of the big blind. On a {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop, Van Fleet check-called a bet of 615,600 and the {7-Spades} turn brought no action. A min-bet after the {2-Spades} river by Van Fleet earned the pot uncontested.

The Finn also bet the {3-Clubs} river for 754,000 and Rolle used more than 30 seconds of his time bank before making the call.
