Tapis for Tapio

I arrived at the table just as a three-way preflop all-in showdown was in progress.

Danny van Zijp: :::Ac :::Ah
Magdalena in de Betou: :::Ad :::As
Tapio Jarvinen: still actually rather live with :::4c :::5c

Board: :::3d :::9h :::Kd :::Qd (in de Betou briefly looked hopeful) :::Ks

The aces chopped it up, in de Betou upping her stack slightly to 32,000 and van Zijp – who had covered both his opponents – increasing a shade to 60,000 or so. Mr. Jarvinen, however, is busto.
