Van Bruggen Busts Over Two Hands
It was a bust of two halves. Rick van Bruggen doubled up Harald Sammer after they moved stacks in having both flopped top pair (jacks) on a two-club board. Van Bruggen's 
was ahead of Sammer's 
only until a third club popped out on the turn, at which point he was drawing dead. After paying off Sammer 125,000, van Bruggen moved in for his last 60,000 the very next hand (uncalled), then repeated the action with slightly more the hand after that.
This time Gal Yifrach paid the 78,000 to see all five cards.
Van Bruggen: 
Yifrach: 
There was something for everyone on the 
flop: a set-bink for Yifrach and the diamond flush draw for van Bruggen. The 
on the turn killed off the sweat, however, and van Bruggen headed out to collect $8,477 for his 37th place finish.
