The last break of the day has just begun. There are just two more levels left to be played after this short break.
Home Run For Hendriks
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
"Where have you been?" Alex Hendriks asked with a smile when we finally found him again in the poker room.
Hendriks was eager to tell us about a big hand he won that went as following.
Hendriks raised under the gun and the player in the cutoff called, as did the big blind. The flop brought out 
with two clubs and the big blind lead out for 5,500. Hendriks raised it up to 15,000 and the big blind made the call.
On the turn the 
hit and Hendriks' opponent lead for another 15,000 and the Dutchman called. The river was the fourth club and now the big blind checked. Hendriks bet 22,500 and out of nowhere his opponent moved all in.
Hendriks snap-called holding 
for the nut flush and his opponent showed[ 7d8d] for a straight. Hendriks raked in a huge pot and he now sits very comfortable on 147,000 chips.

Sikma Smoked
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Martijn Kingma raised to 3,300 from middle position and Germ Sikma, from him immediate left, moved all in for 20,400 chips. Joep van den Bijgaart woke up with a big hand in the blinds and he opted to re-shove.
Kingma folded and Van den Bijgaart turned over two queens versus Sikma's pair of jacks. The board brought four clubs, and Van den Bijgaart had one of those to give him a winnings flush.

popped up and Kingma bet 4,000 after the small blind had checked. The river was the 
and quickly Kingma bet 11,500, which got his opponent to fold.

Adriaans To The Rail
Level 11

Egi Adriaans just wondered into the media room and told us about his very unfortunate exit from this event.
"I had been knocked down to 4,000 and 5,000 and few times and right when I got back to 20,000 I lost with queens against jacks," Adriaans said, as his opponent had managed to spike a jack on the turn.

The Return of Luske
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Marcel Luske was knocked out yesterday during the early goings, but today he's still going strong after just knocking a player out.
Lukse explained to us that the lady under the gun raised to 3,000 and 'The Flying Dutchman' announced that there was a problem when the action got to him.
"I said, 'There is a problem' because I had to call," Luske said with a smile as he had looked down on ace-queen.
The flop brought out 
with two diamonds and both players checked. The turn was an 
and Luske lead out for 6,000. On the river a 
popped up and Luske put his opponent all in for around 13,000 chips.
"After a long time she called with ace-jack," Luske said, as he felt the pain of his opponent for losing with such a strong hand.
