Ronald Gijtenbeek bet 5,300 into a pot of slightly more with the 10♣3♦2♣4♥ on the board after the turn. Christopher Collins jacked it up to 15,000 and Gijtenbeek went into the tank for about a minute before he jammed for about 65,000.

Collins was deep in thought for more than a minute before he eventually tossed in a chip to call off his stack of 40,000.

“Nice call,” Gijtenbeek said to Collins before the cards were tabled.

Christopher Collins: K♣K♦
Ronald Gijtenbeek: K♠J♠

Gijtenbeek began counting out his chips as Collins cruised to a double after the 4♦ river completed the board.
