Gijs Verheijen was just caught wondering on the rail, and he explained to us how he busted out of the Main Event. Verheijen shoved all in under the gun for 28,000 and Thierry van den Berg made the call, after which the other players folded.
Verheijen tabled and that was no good against Van den Berg's .
Van den Berg is in great shape for a deep run, as he now sits on 112 big blinds.
Ad Schaap still had 85,000 in front of him, but the tower of black 5,000 chips was missing, so we asked what had happened.
Schaap told us he opened and picked up three callers, including Fredrik Andersson in the big blind.
The flop came with two spades, giving Schaap top two. Schaap made a continuation bet of 9,300 and just Andersson called, both other opponents folded.
Schaap mistakenly checked on the turn first while it wasn't on him to announce his action yet. Action was still on Andersson who decided to bet 25,000. Schaap called.
The completed the board and Andersson moved all in. Schaap made the lay down after some tanking.
Luke Marsh opened to 3,500 from middle position and Simon Trumper three-bet to 9,500 from the hijack. Action quickly folded back to Marsh, and he called.
The flop came and Marsh checked. Trumper bet 20,000 with 32,000 behind and Marsh moved all in. Marsh had Trumper covered but not by a whole lot.
"You really hit the ace-ten on me?" Trumper said. About five minutes of tanking passed, and then all of the sudden Trumper called.
Luke Marsh:
Simon Trumper:
Trumper was freerolling but by the time the hit the turn, that was of no importance anymore. The fell on the river and the two Brits chopped the pot.

Govert Metaal was down to just 2,200 after losing a big coinflip situation with to . He went all in blind, doubled some times more, and now has about 60,000 again. Just now he won a small pot from Guy Goossens when he flopped two pair with from the big blind.
