Bijlsma Doubles Through Lybaert

In the last hand before the break a big pot was brewing and it started rather innocent with a raise to 500 by Raoul Refos, a call by Noah Boeken and Don Bijlsma (pictured above). Out of the big blind, Bart Lybaert three-bet to 3,150 and all three opponents called.

After the , Lybaert’s bet of 6,000 was called only by Bijlsma and the came on the turn. Lybaert checked and Bijlsma made it 12,000 to go, Lybaert check-raised all in and picked up a quick call.

Don Bijlsma – 73,000
Bart Lybaert – 17,500
