Veldhuis Enters and Moves All In

Milko van Winden

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Lex Veldhuis, the man of the tournament, just entered and he is seated next to Morten 'Zeeth' Ottosen. Veldhuis told PokerNews that When it folded to him in the small blind he decided to go all-in for no less than 200 big blinds with king-jack. Ottosen got out of the way to award Veldhuis the pot.

There's been a lot of friendly banter at the table of the Dutch PokerStars Team Online member.

Spraggy Playing ''200% More Reasonable'' Than Veldhuis

Milko van Winden

Level 5 : 300/600, 0 ante

We walked to the other room to check up on the man of the tournament Lex Veldhuis and he immediately wanted to tell about a hand he played against Benjamin 'Spraggy' Spragg.

''Spraggy opened to 1,500 and another player called. I three-bet to 6,000 and Spraggy called me. The other guy folded. The flop came queen-eight-five with one heart and I fired a bet of 5,500. He called again and the turn was another queen. This time I bet 17,000 and he folded so I showed him jack-four.''

Spraggy then added: ''I played king-jack of hearts by the way and I played that hand 200% more reasonable than he did''.

The table laughed as a small rail of people from Lex' community gathered around the table.

Fernandez Folds to Aggressive Tack

Milko van Winden

Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante

Adrian Fernandez was involved in a big pot with Ruben Tack that had already 13,000 in the middle before the flop was dealt.

The flop fell and Fernandez checked from the small blind to Tack on the button. Tack put in a bet of 3,100 and he was called by Fernandez. The turn was the and Fernandez checked again to Tack. This time there was a bet of 9,300 and it was already in the middle barely a second after Fernandez had checked.

Fernandez thought about it as he peeked at his cards one more time before letting go.

Tack showed his as he raked in the pot.

Hasan Eliminated

Milko van Winden

Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante

Kirshina Hasan had a very good start of the tournament but he saw his chips go one by one after the first break. He was left with 27,000 and he three-bet after Hervé Decker had opened. Decker four-bet all in and Hasan called.

The board ran out and Hasan was eliminated from the tournament despite a great start earlier today.

At the same table, it was Marco Rodrigues who won a big pot earlier after he was called with just ace-high. Rodrigues has a stack worth 190,000 in front of him.
