Van Gils Eliminated

Pieter van Gils had his stack chopped down not long ago when he lost with the dreaded jacks so he must have been mightily relieved to look down and see get the money in and find a call. Surely he was even happier to see he hadn’t run into aces but was up against the of Gerald Karlic.

His smile lasted less than a minute and he rapped the table as the flop shot Karlic into the lead with a flopped set. The turn and river blanked and in short order van Gils headed for the exit.
