A "Big Gift" for Lootsma
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Yaron Ben Avi was no longer seated and Werner Lootsma was sitting behind a big stack, which prompted fellow Dutchman Teunis Kooij to mention "it was a gift, an early Christmas gift."
According to Kooij, Lootsma had three-bet to 9,000 on the button and Ben Avi then four-bet shoved in the multi-way pot for 60,000 with ace-ten. Lootsma called with queens and held up to join the big stacks.
In the next hand, Lootsma raised to 2,300 and Francesco Di Profio called from one seat over. Lootsma continued for 3,000 on the 
flop and was called, which prompted a second barrel and call on the 
turn. The 
river was checked and they both showed king-queen to chop it up.
