Multi Table Action
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
There are no players hopping between the High Roler (last 6 players) and the Main Event, but still several players are multi tabling. Several players didn't want to miss out on the online action, and are sitting on their lap with a laptop playing multiple tables. Jason Wheeler and Dietrich Fast are amongst them, multi tabling online and playing at the same table in the meantime, sharing the table with Piet Bakker who remains offline for now.

Bakker Adds Some More
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
"Make that 230 mate!" said Piet Bakker as we were standing next to him, observing his table.
We promised to update his stack with 30,000, but needed to add some more by the time we walked away.
On a flop of 
we saw the big blind check. Dutch bracelet winner Marcel Vonk, presumably the initial raiser in the hand, made a bet of 2,200. Both Bakker (middle position) and the big blind called.
The hit the turn and the same procedure was seen; the big blind checked, Vonk bet (4,000), Bakker called, the big blind called.
All three of them checked the 
on the river and the big blind (
) and Vonk (
) showed the same hand. Bakker tabled 
for two pair and took down the lot.

Change of Plans
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
The original plan was for players to only be able to register once a day and only for the first 8 levels on both Day 1a and 1b, but the plans have changed.
Players are now able to register for the entire two first days (so 9 full levels instead of the first 8 levels per day), and also have the option to reenter once more at the start of Day 2. So instead of a maximum of just 2 entries per person for this event, players are now able to enter a maximum of 3 times (Day 1a, Day 1b, before the start of Day 2).
Stegeman Busts One
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Alberto Stegeman open raised with 
and saw the Swedish player in the big blind shove for about 6,500 or so. Stegeman, who earlier today had been check raised on the river by that very same player, made the call. Stegeman turned out to be in good shape as his opponent had 
. The board ran out 
and Stegeman collected another scalp.
