It wasn't a long Day 3, and not a lot of hands were played, but Jason Wheeler pretty much won all of them. In the last hand, Jack Salter was down to 545,000 and he open-shoved from the button. Wheeler made the call.
Jason Wheeler:
Jack Salter:
Wheeler's good friend Bryn Kenney leaned over, and Wheeler announced what the situation was. "Threes against king-seven," he said.
Wheeler made a small fist pump when the flop was spread , but he wasn't out of the woods just yet.
"A four would be a fun card" Salter said.
The hit the turn and Salter already put down his head a little. The
on the river was a blank, and Wheeler and Salter shook hands.
Salter congratulated Wheeler, with the latter elated to finally win in Holland.
"Finally get that trophy in Amsterdam!" he exclaimed.
Wheeler took home €125,000, and Salter got €90,000 for his runner-up finish. Wheeler told the tournament organization he plans on entering the Main Event later today, but first he's going to hang out with Kenney on this beautiful day in the city.

Jack Salter and Jason Wheeler are back from their rather long break.
After just a couple hands, Salter dropped down to 775,000 (almost 16 big blinds). Since the break, Salter was seen shoving over a open twice. Wheeler hasn't put Salter at risk, both times he opted to fold before the flop and not take the chance.
Noah Boeken has been quite active in the early goings today, but we just saw him lose a decent-sized pot to Bastian Hagenbeuk.
Boeken raised preflop to 300 and Hagenbeuk three-bet from the button to 1,000. Both blinds folded and Boeken called, after which the flop brought out .
Boeken check-called 900 on the flop and lead out for 2,000 on the turn when the popped up. Hagenbeuk made the call and on the river the
completed the board.
This time Boeken bet 4,500 and quickly Hagenbeuk tossed in the call. Boeken tabled , but that was no good against Hagenbeuk's
.

Dutchman Noah Boeken has been at the forefront of poker in the Netherlands ever since he won EPT Copenhagen in Season 1, but as of late we haven't seen him in many events. Boeken opened up his own juice bar in Amsterdam called Juice Brothers, and he's been spending most of his time working on that.
Boeken however did cap off his poker career with a big win in 2013 when he took down the Master Classics of Poker Main Event for €306,821. While he might no longer play on a daily basis, he's still someone to reckon with during this event in his home casino.
