Lucien Cohen (I prefer the films of his brothers to be honest) opened to just over 1,000 before Joep van den Bijgaart moved all in for just under 9,000. Cohen asked for a count but then called anyway.

The board came and the former champion suffered a dent to his stack as the Dutchman doubled.
The big board is showing the total players from our starting field of 307 still alive here on Day 1a has now shrunk to less than 200. There is about one more hour of play left in Level 8, after which the remaining players will bag up for the night.
Our excellent collegue Shamus wrote an entry about Adrian Mateos a short while ago and it appears Mateos' good week is continuing if his latest hand is anything to go by.
On a board, Mateos lead out for 3,100 in middle position and Ismael Bojang called from the button. The fifth and final community card was the and now Mateos checked. Bojang, possibly sensing weakness, took a stab at the pot with a bet of 6,500 but Mateos convinced himself his hand was good and he called.
"Ace-high," said Bojand turning over .
Mateos remained silent as he flipped the and onto their backs. Another pot goes Mateos' way.
Patrick Schuhl is still up the top of the counts although still down a little from his high point of 170,000.
He called an early position raise to 600 from Stephane Bourson along with three other players. Bourson continued for 2,600 on the flop and Schuhl was the only caller to the turn where both players checked. The river came down as and Bourson checked to face a 15,000 bet, enough to cover his remaining stack. He elected to cut his losses and fold.
Five players (not all ladies) remain in the ladies event, including Charlotte Van Brabander. A couple of 'gents' are also contesting, and looking increasingly shame-faced...
Max Heinzelmann has just sent Isaac [Removed:250] to the rail after winning one of tournament poker's many coinflips.
It was Heinzelmann who opened the betting with a raise from early position. Ismael Bojang called in the hijack and [Removed:250] moved all in for around 6,500 on the button. Hinzelmann called and Bojang folded.
Heinzelmann:
[Removed:250]:
The flop kept the deuces of Heinzelmann in front, and when the turn and river were the and respectively it was game over for [Removed:250].
James Mitchell opened with a raise to 1,200 from the cutoff seat and got two callers from the blinds, including Sinel Anton in the small blind. The flop came and it checked around to Mitchell who bet 2,600. Only Anton called. Both remaining players then checked the turn card.
The river brought the . Anton quickly picked chips off his stack and tossed them forward for a bet of 3,100. Then Mitchell, moving more deliberately, carved out a substantial stack to raise and instantly Anton tossed his cards away.
