Rheem Wins Monster Pot

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Chino Rheem
Chino Rheem

On an {A-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop, Chino Rheem check-raised his opponent's 1,000 bet to 2,550 only for said opponent to make it 5,000. Rheem wanted a count on his opponent's stack before opting to make it 12,000. His opponent then moved all in and Rheem made a crying call.

Rheem: {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Rheem had his foe almost drawing dead already, only running kings or straight cards could change anything. The {2-Hearts} turn and {8-Clubs} did no such thing and Rheem virtually doubled up.

"Oh f**k it," said his opponent, leaving the table.

Early Action for van Hoof

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

A lot of eyes are on WSOP 3rd place finisher Jorryt van Hoof, he's definitely the most famous player in Holland at this moment. van Hoof just opened to 300 preflop and received three callers.

The flop was {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and everyone checked. The {A-Spades} was checked the to the Dutchman and he bet 400 but received just one caller. On the river {Q-Clubs}, van Hoof checked and then opted to fold when his opponent bet 600.

Ben Cherif wins the High Roller

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Whereas Bryn Kenney and Aviv Meiri were eliminated within a couple of minutes after the restart, it took further 90 minutes to determine the winner of the €10,000 + €250 High Roller. Ultimately it was Rachid Ben Cherif who just emerged victorious and sent Ole Schemion to the rail in second place. Once the winner pictures are taken care of, we expect both players to immediately jump into the Main Event.

Boeken Busts O'Dwyer

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

According to Chris Hunichen, Steve O'Dwyer three-bet preflop and was called by initial raiser Noah Boeken to see a queen-high flop with two hearts. O'Dwyer called a check-raise of the MCOP 2013 champion and then tank-called the all in of Boeken on the {10-} turn with {A-} {Q-} only for Boeken to reveal pocket kings. The river blanked and O'Dwyer will most likely be back at the tables soon on his second bullet.

A few further familiar faces are in this tournament area now as well.

Van Hoof Flushes Segebrecht

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Jorryt van Hoof
Jorryt van Hoof

Nikolaus Teichert lost his stack of 12,000 chips with {A-} {K-} against the pocket nines of Jorryt van Hoof after a preflop raising war and the Dutch November Niner also knocked out Claas Eyke Segebrecht just now. After a raise of the German to 400, van Hoof defended his big blind and check-called a bet of 550 on the {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {10-Clubs} flop. On the {8-Clubs} turn, van Hoof bet 1,300 and then called the all in of the German for what looked like 6,700 with {J-Clubs} {2-Clubs}.

Segebrecht had some outs with {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} but the {6-Diamonds} on the river was a brick. Segebrecht immediately asked where to buy in once again and should be back in action shortly. At the same table, David Boyaciyan had a rough start but is since up to almost double the starting stack.

Segebrecht Chips Up Straight away

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Joining the action on the {8-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} flop there was betting action between Joni Jouhkimainen and one opponent that saw both players invest 3,250 chips. On the {J-Hearts} turn, the opponent put Jouhkimainen all in and the Finn called off for his last 6,200 chips with {K-Clubs} {J-Clubs}. The opponent had the weaker kicker in {J-Spades} {9-Spades} and the {10-Spades} on the river completed the double up. "Almost back to starting stack," he said with a grin on the face.

Two tables over, the river of a {3-Spades} {6-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {K-Spades} board triggered a bet of 11,100 by Claas Eyke Segebrecht and he was paid off to reveal {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} as winning hand. Less than 10 minutes ago the German busted with pocket aces and now he chipped up with them.
