There's a lot of Dutch and Belgian players, and a bunch of Scandinavians as well. And then there's one lone Australian: Sean Henderson.
A quick look at his HendonMob page shows s he's been playing poker for a while now, but the long list of cashes were all on home soil.
Here he is in Malta, on the other end of the world, going for his first cash abroad. He needs to find some good cards and or spots, because he's down to just under 18,000. He told us nothing really had happened to get to that point, just losing small pots mostly.
His neighbor is doing better, Dejan Vogrin in the four-seat has well over 140,000 in front of him. Followers of the Team Henderson fan page on facebook won't be interested in Vogrin though, so we'll keep an eye on both.
The seat of Joep Raemaekers was vacant and we asked his former table mate and good friend Pim de Goede what had happened.
De Goede told us that he was the one raising from the button and the player in the small blind had three-bet to 4,000. Big blind Joep Raemaekers shoved all in for 27 big blinds and De Goede was quick to fold. The small blind called with kings however, and Raemaekers needed help with .
Five blanks later it was Raemaekers who was send home. Fortunately for him, home isn't far away as he lives here on the island.
Dex de Jong shoved his last 7,700 in from first position. Two to his right it was Dalil Masaud raising to 15,000. Kristof Segers pushed all in over the top and when action folded back to Masaud, he tank folded.

Kristof Segers:
The board ran out and De Jong made his exit. Masaud said he had folded jacks, but the pot went to Segers.
Hijack Bas de Laat opened for 2,200 and small blind Nikita Malinovskii three-bet to 6,500. The big blind folded and De Laat tanked for a bit before raising to 13,200. Action was back on Malinovskii and he plummeted a stack of yellow 5,000-chips in the middle. De Laat announced all in, which was probably a call at this point, and Malinovskii made clear he was calling.

Bas de Laat:
The board ran out and De Laat doubled his 46,300 stack. Malinovskii still has about starting stack left.
