Daphne van Dijk isn't Forced to Show
A player in early position opened for 800 and Dutch online qualifier Daphne van Dijk in the hijack three bet to 2,100. The cutoff, button and both blinds folded, the initial raiser called.
The flop came 
and the early position player checked. Van Dijk checked behind so they saw the 
on the turn for free. The initial raiser bet out 2,100 and Van Dijk made the call.
The river was the 
and the initial raiser checked. Van Dijk put out a bet, but we couldn't exactly see how much it was. The initial raiser threw in a 25 chip to indicate the call. Van Dijk checked her cards, and then slid them forward over the betting line.
This is where things got kind of interesting. The initial raiser immediately asked to see Van Dijk's cards, but the dealer didn't want to show them, telling the player that he won the hand and there was no need to show a winning hand perse. Two players insisted that the initial raiser had the right to see his opponents hand as he was the one who had paid the bet on the river.
The floor came over and ruled that the players had no right to check the cards, unless he would have said so at the same time of the call. The players didn't really understand and indicated that they had never heard of something like that before, but also didn't need a second opinion on the matter as it would only slow things down a lot.
Van Dijk didn't say a word through all of this and play continued. Van Dijk is still doing fine with a stack of well over 60,000.
