Until the arrival of player lists (registration is still open if you're in the neigbourhood with a spare €10,000) we don't quite recognise the full field, but this hand courtesy of Dutch PokerNews' eagle-eyed reporters deserves a mention... Player A and Player B see a flop of {4-}{4-}{5-} . The betting reaches the five-bet all in stack at risk stage (full stacks for both A and B) and while Player A, the eventual caller of the shove, shows {5-}{5-} for the flopped boat, player B, described only as 'young, of indeterminate country' shows an offsuit {K-}{Q-}. He exits after the fives make quads on the turn.
