Perfect Start for Bonno van den Hout

"Player out!"

While the other players were still taking their seats, poor Farook Ghafoor was already making his way to the exit. Bonno van den Hout was the executioner in a brutal set-over-set situation that left Ghafoor behind empty-handed.

Van den Hout was holding :::Qx:::Qx when Ghafoor limped. Van den Hout raised to 400 and Ghafoor called to see a :::Qd:::8d:::4x flop appear. The limper checked, Van den Hout bet 600, Ghafoor check-raised to 1,600, Van den Hout three-bet to 5,200, Ghafoor shoved all in and Van den Hout snap-called.

Ghafoor held :::4d:::4x and needed the case four or backdoor diamonds to save his tournament life. The :::9d on the turn opened up the flush draw but the river blanked out.
