Mark Roovers was busy collecting and stacking chips, while his former neighbor left the table with hanging shoulders. Roovers told us what had happened.
Roovers limped in for 500 from early position and his neighbor raised to 2,000. Action folded back around to Roovers and he called. The flop came 
with two spades and Roovers checked. His neighbor bet 3,500 and Roovers shoved all in.
His opponent called with 
but Roovers turned over 
for the higher pair. The 
on the turn brought a flush draw for the all in player, but he missed with the 
on the river.

Pieter de Korver was down to his last 20,000 or so, and shoved those chips in over an early position raise of Clyde Tjauw Foe. Tjauw Foe called with and was up against De Korver's 
.
The board came no higher than a 
and De Korver was sent packing. He has the option to reenter tomorrow, signing up tomorrow will bring him a crisp 30,000 stack to give it another try.

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).
"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.

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.
