From pokernews:
After check-raising Robbie Verspui off a flop of {10:s}{6:h}{2:h} and then three betting the next hand as well to force the Dutchman to fold, Andrew Badecker raised to 90,000 but Verspui reraised to 245,000.
Badecker eyed his opponent's 1.7 million remaining chips or so and moved all in, Verspui snap-called.
Badecker: {K:h}{2:h}
Verspui: {A:s}{J:h}
The flop came {7:h}{5:s}{2:s} and Badecker's friends went wild shouting for his hand to hold. The {K-Spades} on the turn improved Badecker's to two pair but Verspui made the nut flush draw.
"RED!!" screamed the rail and the river brought the {5:d} meaning Badecker took home the bracelet.
For his part, Robbie Verspui will be disappointed but it'll be tempered by the fact he was the short stack during four handed, but three double ups put him into contention. Nevertheless, it's the best finish by a Dutch player so far but not the fourth bracelet for Holland that he was hoping for.
Sorry for the late update, was talking to RobbieV and we just did a long interview which you will be able to see soon.
Basically what I can tell you that, the hands pretty much all played out as RobbieV had planned it. He was probably miles ahead in terms of ability.
Unfortunately, the cards didn't cooperate. The two hand that Andrew had K2 ended Robbie's dream of shipping Team PokerStrategy.com's first bracelet.
Still an amazing effort for $228,334. Which is Team PokerStrategy.com's best place finish, and also biggest cash in the WSOP so far.
Good effort Robbie, congrats! Shame the cards were not on your side. Good luck with the rest of the WSOP
One more comment on the last AJ vs K2s hand.
RobbieV said that when he looked down at AJ, he was already planning out the path to get it all in.
He said that he knew that Andrew will ship it in light there, because the guy thought he had the momentum after taking down a few pots, and would be trying to play it.
He would be 4-bet all in with a super wide range, or almost any 2 there.
That's why RobbieV snapped called even though it was for all his chips.

+1 great achievment, nicely done you can get the bracelet another time 
Gratz fella... epic effort. Have to wait a day or two for that first WSOP ship. ♠_cool:
Well Done Robbie 
Q for RobbieV.. Do you think the $220K+ will be life changing money?

I talked to the bracelet winner Andrew Badecker about RobbieV's play and other stuff.
Enjoy!
