Matthias de Meulder had made a bad experience with a flush not long ago and Surinder Sunar just did the same. The 1993 Master Classics champion check-called two streets before checking again the river against Joep van den Bijgaart. The latter then bet 7,800 into a pot of 12,600 and Sunar eventually called.
Van den Bijgaart flipped over his and Sunar mucked the inferior .
On the three-way flop of , Clyde Tjauw Foe bet 1,175 and Hossein Ensan squeezed to 6,000 from the button, ensuring the fold of the other player in the hand. Tjauw Foe however called and then check-called the turn for 2,900. Both players checked the on the river and Tjauw Foe was first to show after the button to reveal as winning hand.
Przemyslaw Piotrowski was the initial raiser and picked up one customer in Surinder Sunar from two seats over. A continuation bet of the Pole on the flop flop was called before Sunar then jammed the turn to a second barrel of Piotrowski. The Pole snap-called with for a turned set of tens and Sunar was drawing dead with the , making the river a formality.
The remaining High Rollers are now on their dinner break and the Main Event will be soon as well. Thomas Muehloecker however opted to join the field with less than 15 minutes on the clock.
Defending champion Ruben Visser had lost with kings to aces and then recovered the losses to get back to his previous stack. "Just make it 25,500," the Dutchman joked.
Piet Bakker is doing much better on the previous table of Dominic van Embden, currently leading the field with almost three times the starting stack.
The seat of Marcel Vonk was empty and he had just purchased the second bullet shortly before the end of level four. Rens Feenstra confirmed that it was Julian Stuer who had received the chips and the German was also involved into a hand with Niels van Leeuwen as well.
Until the river, a pot of around 8,000 chips emerged and Stuer pushed all in. Van Leeuwen had around 16,600 chips behind and eventually called for his tournament life only to muck immediately when Stuer showed him the for a flopped straight.
The bustout of Vonk was a copy of the situation according to Stuer, who jammed the river of a queen-high board for effectively 15,000 into a pot of 6,000. Vonk called with pocket aces only to see the German turn over for a flush.
"Second bullet, I busted over there," Martin Finger grinned after being seated next to Joep van den Bijgaart. Both played the last hand of the level but nothing special came out of it before they headed into the dinner break.
Players have the option to purchase one reentry per day, making for a total of five bullets if required. One on each starting day and then another before the start of Day 2 on Wednesday. This certainly explains why some of the pros take a very aggressive approach early into the tournament.
