The Gap Gets Smaller

On the flop :::8s:::Ks:::4h, Mateusz Moolhuizen and Paul Vergeer both checked. Vergeer then bet the :::5d turn for 145,000 and Moolhuizen called before Vergeer bet the :::9h river triggered a bet of 250,000. Moolhuizen called with :::As:::9s and Vergeer won the pot with :::Kh:::3h. Only nine big blinds are between the two players anymore.
