Eelkema Sends One Home
Level 13
: 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
There was three-way action on a flop of 
and Minnesota's Eric Eelkema was first to act, checking in the small blind. The big blind went all in for 73,000, sending the final player in the hand into the tank from the cutoff. After close to a minute and much deliberation, the player folded. Eelkema quickly dropped a stack onto the felt to call thereafter.
Big Blind: 
Eric Eelkema: 
Eelkema's flopped set had his opponent's top pair, top kicker crushed. The player was unable to find his necessary running outs to stay alive as the turn 
failed to pair the board further. The river 
then completed the runout, with Eelkema's full house topping his opponent's trip kings to earn him the pot and the accompanying KO.
