Daily 3-Bet: 15 Yrs >> $1.6m, Unibet Majors, I’m F’in Jungle

The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is a big stack, a bowl of mom’s spaghetti and one shot to lose yourself in your afternoon poker news moment.

Got a hot tip for a future 3-Bet? Drop us a line about it in the comments below. Today in the 3-Bet we find Steven Van Zadelhoff on the brink of a career-making moment, Unibet launches Sunday majors and Jungleman makes it clear who he is.

1) WCOOP WAHAHHA!

After 15 years of grinding online (and live) poker, Dutch player Steven Van Zadelhoff (who played the €550 Battle of Malta 2019 last year by the way) has a massive chip lead at the final table of the 2017 WCOOP Main Event with $1.6m waiting for the winner. How satisfying do you think that might feel? About like this:

With $1.5m in live earnings and well over $4m online it’s not like Van Zadelhoff has never had a major score but we can only imagine the mix of nerves and anticipation he’s feeling as play is just about to get underway in one of online poker’s most iconic events. Are the poker gods ready to deliver for him? Tune in on PokerStars Twitch channel below to watch it all play out! Best of luck to svzff!

2) Unibet Joins Sunday Major Game
