"I Don't Have a Pair Yet!"
Level 3
: 75/150, 25 ante
As we arrived, a flop of 
was already out and one player had a black 5,000 chip in front of him, though we're not entirely sure that was the actual bet. Michael Mizrachi was flipping a red All In button, and when it came down with the 'All In' part up top, that was exactly what he announced he was doing: all in!
One player folded, the one that had bet asked for a count.
"What do you need that for?" Mizrachi laughed, "I don't have a pair yet!" the famous player smiled. "Ah, you need a club" his opponent said seconds before calling.
Mizrachi wasn't lying it turned out, as he showed 
. Not really needing any clubs though.
The dealer was already done burning when Mizrachi kindly asked to see his opponents hand. "Ohh shit, he has outs!" Mizrachi exclaimed as he was shown 
.
The 
on the turn was a blank and so was the 
on the river effectively. "I have a pair now!" Mizrachi laughed.
"That's the first time I see you smile" table mate Hans Bosman said. "First time? I always smile! You're here just one hand!" Mizrachi replied with a big grind. "True" regular player Bosman smiled. "It's the first time I hear you talking!" Mizrachi added.

Level 3
: 75/150, 25 ante
Clyde Tjauw Foe was just spotted exiting the tournament room, and we caught up with the man who took his chips, Nico Kuan.
Kuan explained how he raised to 400 and four players called, including Tjauw Foe. The flop brought out 
with one club, and Kuan bet 900. Tjauw Foe made a raise to 2,500 and only Kuan called.
On the turn the hit, and Tjauw Foe bet another 6,000. Kuan moved all in and Tjauw Foe called off for an additional 12,000 chips.
Tjauw Foe:

The river was the 
and Tjauw Foe missed both his flush- and straight draw. Kuan raked in this massive pot and now sits on 80,000 chips. Moments after busting out, Tjauw Foe re-entered.

Hagenbeuk Busts Goossens
Level 3
: 75/150, 25 ante
Bastian Hagenbeuk opened the hand with a raise to 400 before the flop and he picked up a small army of callers. Paul Newey made the call in the cutoff, and Elliot Smith on the button, Guy Goossens in the small blind, and the player in the big blind all added the needed chips to see a flop.
Both blinds checked to Hagenbeuk and the Dutchman, who finished fifth in this years Dutch Open for €14,090, made a continuation bet of 1,575. Newey and Smith quickly released, but Goossens was interested and called. The big blind folded.
The 
on the turn made Goossens bet out 1,500. Hagenbeuk just called.
The 
paired the board and Goossens tossed in a single black 5,000 chip, with about 6,300 behind. Hagenbeuk thought about it for just a bit and then placed his big tower of 5,000's and red 1,000's in the middle to put Goossens all in. Goossens glanced at his stack and cards one more time before calling all in.
Hagenbeuk showed the 
for the second nuts, Goossens got up from the table and showed
