The Dutch Report
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Ad Schaap is leading the Dutch charge with his stack of 103,000, and unfortunately, he's the only Hollander with a healthy stack at the moment. Big man Ton Kleijnen has a good seat draw to the right of big stack Andrew Malott, but he's struggling to gain any momentum today. Kleijnen is still sitting on his starting stack right around 35,000. And the same holds true for the gregarious Raoul Refos, though his stack has been a bit up and down today. He found himself with just about 14,000 chips in the first level before managing to chip his way back up to about 25,000 where he sits now.
And unfortunately it looks like the fourth member of the quartet, online qualifier Menno Mulder, has already been sent home today.

Dragan Loses Steam
We counted him at 235,000 just a minute ago, putting him atop the field and posting him as the chip leader. But by the time we got back over to his table, he had less than 80,000 of that left, and he was slinging chips around once again in a contested pot.
Galic had opened with a raise under the gun, and a player two seats over had three-bet to about 9,000. The amounts aren't clear, but there was about 21,000 in the pot when the action came back to Galic, and he elected to re-raise an additional 17,800 on top.
The move would take his opponent aback as he tried to eye up Galic's remaining chips. English is the only language allowed at the table during hands, and the unknown player struggled to ask Galic if he would show his cards. It took about two minutes and six or seven players from three different tables to finally clarify the question, and Galic agreed to show his cards pending a fold.
His opponent quickly did just that, open-mucking
, and Galic showed as he pulled in some chips that he actually does need now. That little pot will pull him back up close to 100,000, but it's a long climb back to his former stack.
Minus One Dutchy
, and that was plenty good enough for the all-in move. Unfortunately for him though, the player to his left made the call and showed down the dominating 
, putting Kleijnen one foot out the door. When the board ran out blanks, the Dutchman wished his table luck and headed for the door.
Chip Chat
Soon after, Russian Sergei Pevzner -- one of those whom the dealer was addressing -- raised from middle position, and it folded around to Miami John Cernuto in the big blind. Cernuto flashed his hand to Pevzner -- a couple of baby cards -- before folding.
"Good?" asked Cernuto. "No," said Pevzner with a smile. "He knows English now," laughed Cernuto. "This guy knows every language," chimed in another player, referring to Pezner. "A little bit of English, a little Japanese, African languages... he's legend!"
As far as the language of chips goes, Cernuto has 115,000 now with which to communicate, while Pezner has 72,000.
