A huge pot was shipped to Jorryt Van Hoof (pictured) on the 48th hand of final table play in the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event. On a board of K-K-10-5, according to WSOP coverage, “The river completed the board with the Ah and Felix Stephensen checked for a third time as Van Hoof bet out 3.4 million to make this pot bigger than three players’ stacks – Martin Jacobson, Billy Pappas, and Bruno Politano. Stephensen deliberated for a few moments and then mucked while slipping to 24 million as Van Hoof climbed to over 46.5 million.” A flush was possible by the river.

Stephensen check-called the flop of K-K-10 and check-called when the turn was a 5. When the cards were revealed on TV, Van Hoof had Q-Q for the nut flush, while Stephensen held A-10 with no heart. Van Hoof, who reclaimed the chip lead just before the first break, shot out in front by 20 million over the second place stack:

Jorryt van Hoof – 46,525,000
Dan Sindelar – 25,450,000
Felix Stephensen – 24,325,000
William Tonking – 24,150,000
Andoni Larrabe – 24,150,000
Mark Newhouse – 16,200,000
Bruno Politano – 14,600,000
Billy Pappas – 14,200,000
Martin Jacobson – 10,875,000

A wild hand between Van Hoof and Andoni Larrabe (pictured) just before the first 15-minute break of the day saw Van Hoof shove the river of a 10-J-9-K-7 board with K-10 for two pair. Meanwhile, Larrabe, who had 9-8 for a straight, folded. Van Hoff reclaimed the chip lead from Stephensen as a result and Lex Veldhuis posted on Twitter, “If you’re watching @WSOP Main Event right now, how good is @Jorryt_van_Hoof turning KT into a bluff. One of the illest live at work!”

Scott Seiver, who is reportedly coaching Stephensen, said on Twitter of the hand, “IMO no way Larrabe is actually capped here. KT beats almost every hand that might fold.” Antonio Esfandiari added when play resumed, “That was something else. I did not see that coming.”

Daniel Negreanu commented on what he expected to happen following the break: “What we’ll see is chip dispersion… I think you’ll see play pick up.” Martin Jacobson was getting low on chips at the break, leading Phil Hellmuth remark, “I think he’ll make a move soon.” Jacobson was at 25 big blinds following the break, the first time anyone at the final table had slipped below 30.
