Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Dave Shallow opened under the gun to 900 and Van den Bijgaart made the call in the hijack. Bernabeu Guilabert squeezed from the button making it 4,025. Both blinds folded but Shallow and Van den Bijgaart made the call.
Both Shallow and Van den Bijgaart checked to Guilabert on 
but the Spaniard checked behind. The 
on the turn made Shallow bet out 9,500 and just Van den Bijgaart called, Guilabert folded.
The river was a third spade; 
. Shallow asked Van den Bijgaart to lift his arm so he could eye his stack. Van den Bijgaart had about 42,000 left at this point and without much hesitation Shallow bet 21,500.
Van den Bijgaart clearly wasn't happy with the river and the big bet by Shallow. The Dutch pro tanked for about four minutes before reluctantly calling.
Shallow showed the 
first, setting up the perfect way to slowroll. It wasn't going to be one though, Shallow revealed the 
to accompany the nut-flush draw blocker for nothing but ace-king high.
Van den Bijgaart tabled 
and took down the pot.

Full Tilt's Professional Gus Hansen showed up late, as usual, and on top of that he's also facing two extremely tough opponents. Hansen, one of the most famous poker players in the world, has $11.2 million in live tournament earnings which puts him first on the Danish all-time money list and 15th overall in the world.
Hansen was one of the first European players to have big results in the United States including a three World Poker Tour victories. The Great Dane's first WPT win came back in 2002 when he won the $10,000 Five Diamond for $556,460. Hansen beat a final table with stars like John Juanda, Freddy Deeb, John Hennigan, Scott Nguyen and he's been a star ever since.
The EPT however has not been kind to Hansen who last cashed in an EPT Main Event back in 2005 when he made the final table in Barcelona. Hansen has just two EPT cashes, and a deep run here would look great on his very international list of cashes.
Hansen's battling it out with Dutch poker pro Michiel Brummelhuis who made the most recent World Series of Poker Main Event final table. Brummelhuis finished seventh for $1.2 million and that puts him in sixth on the Dutch all-time money list.
The second challenger is Shyam Srinivasan, S_dor111 on PokerStars, who's got $7.2 million in online winnings and a sixth place finish in the 2014 PCA for $328,020.
Right now Hansen sits on about 21,000 chips and we'll keep a close eye on the super stars the rest of the day.

Gaelle Baumann opened for 600 and was three-bet by the player directly to her left, Csaba Varadi, to 1,725. Ivan Neytchev was on the button and made it 4,800 with the cold four-bet. Marco Lang, a PokerStars player from Canada, was in the small blind and had a long think. With so much action behind he had a lot to weigh up and eventually decided to raise to 9,100. Sam Trickett folded the big blind and one by one the other players folded until it got back round to Neytchev on the button. He eyed up Lang and decided to make the call. They both had similar stacks, around 40,000.
The flop was 
Lang checked. Neytchev made it 8,000 and when Lang responded with a raise to 20,000 he moved all in. Lang made the call. The cards were on their backs with Neytchev showing the 
against the 
of Lang. The turn 
and river 
meant that Neytchev more than doubled up and Lang was left almost crippled.
