Massive Double up for Chen

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
The end of the hot run for Ruben Visser?
The end of the hot run for Ruben Visser?

[Removed:17] raised to 21,000 on the button and Andrew Chen called out of the big blind to see the {J-Clubs} {A-Spades} {2-Hearts} flop. Both players checked and Yan called a bet of Chen for 28,000 on the {2-Spades} turn. The Canadian then overbet the {9-Hearts} river and claimed the pot without showdown.

One hand later Jussi Nevanlinna raised to 18,000 and Ruben Visser three-bet to 52,000 on the button. Chen four-bet to 134,000 in the small blind and the Finn folded. Visser five-bet to 253,000 and Chen moved all in after more than a minute of consideration. Snap call by Visser!

Chen: {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}
Visser: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}

The best two starting hands in Texas Hold'em clashed and a pot of 1.8 million in chips was created. Chen doubled up with the board running out {10-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {3-Spades} {8-Hearts} {10-Spades} and now has a commanding lead.

Michiel Brummelhuis Eliminated in 18th Place (€10,621)

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Michiel Brummelhuis
Michiel Brummelhuis

On a flop of {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} Michiel Brummelhuis saw his 19,000 bet check-raised to 40,000 by Jussi Nevanlinna. The Dutch former November Niner thought to himself for a minute before moving all in and Nevanlinna sighed and made the call.

Nevanlinna: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Brummelhuis: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Brummelhuis needed an ace, ten or running cards to stay in the game but the {2-Spades} turn and {5-Hearts} river were effectively blanks and the Finn added more chips to his stack.

Boyaciyan: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Verheul: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The board came {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Boyaciyan's pair of jacks stayed good.

Some Action from Table 30

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After a three-bet pot in a battle of the blinds between [Removed:17] and Ruben Visser, both players checked the {J-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} flop and the {9-Clubs} turn. The {10-Hearts} river didn't trigger any action either and Yan showed {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} as winning hand.

One hand later, Amir Mozaffarian opened to 17,000 on the cutoff and Yan as well as Andrew Chen asked for his stack size. "I started with 197,000, so now I have 180,000 behind," the German replied. Yan on the button and Chen in the big blind called, but quickly folded the {A-Clubs} {4-Spades} {2-Diamonds} flop to the continuation bet of the German.

Yan then raised from the cutoff for 16,000 and Visser called on the button. Yan check-folded the {4-Spades} {2-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} flop to a bet of 18,000 by Visser.

Steven van Doublehoff

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Steven van Zadelhoff
Steven van Zadelhoff

Steven van Zadelhoff open-shoved from the hijack for 93,500 and it was passed to David Boyaciyan in the big blind who made a quick call.

van Zadelhoff: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}
Boyaciyan: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The flop was {J-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} but the {10-Spades} was one of the best cards of the deck that wasn't an eight, van Zadelhoff now had chop outs and a flush draw. The river was the {3-Spades} and he doubled up.

"Never in doubt!" cried van Zadelhoff. He's back up to 200,000.

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

On the feature table, Albert Hoekendijk first moved all in from under the gun to claim the blinds and antes. Then he three-bet shoved the small blind for 84,000 and Noah Boeken folded after raising from the button for 19,000. In the third hand, Hoekendijk flat-called a raise to 18,000 by Niels van Alphen from the button and raised the {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} {K-Clubs} flop from 14,000 to 30,000. van Alphen folded and was shown {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}.
