Short-Stacked Van Rooij Gets Shorter
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Merijn Van Rooij opened with a raise to 1,000 from middle position and was called by Mercedes Osti in the hijack and Viktor Katzenberger in the big blind.
The flop came 
and action checked through. The players checked again on the 
turn, but on the 
river, Katzenberger led for 3,000.
Van Rooij called for about a quarter of his remaining stack and Osti folded.
Katzenberger showed 
for trip aces and Van Rooij folded, shrinking his Dutch opponent's stack to just over 10,000.
