Two open seats on the table of Jeroen Aarts were quickly filled by massive stacks and the Dutchman, who had dropped down all the way to just 44,000, is suddenly surrounded by piles of chips in every direction. One advantage seems quite obvious, it will be rather easy for Aarts to get a chance at a double and regain the previous healthy stack.
