Two Dinner Breaks
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
The field is already a bit bigger than yesterday's 115, so the organization has decided to do things a little different today concerning the dinner break. Instead of a 60-minute break for the entire field after level 6, now the tournament will break in two sessions. The players on tables 29 till 34 will have a break of 60 minutes after level 5, players on all other tables will have a dinner break after level 4.

The Biggest Stars in Poker
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Doug Lee, with $1,904,028 in total live earnings, has just six cashes outside of the United States, and just a single one is from a tournament in Europe. We hadn't seen him in The Netherlands before, but here he is! Lee shares the table with Noah Boeken, the Dutch EPT and MCOP champion that busted yesterday when his set of fives ran into a set of aces.
As if Lee didn't bring star power enough to the field today, none other than Marcel Lüske just sat down. Lüske is the all time money leader in The Netherlands with $4,416,387 in live tournament earnings.
