A Day to Forget for de Meulder

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Przemyslaw Piotrowski opened to 700 and Nico Kuan called in the small blind. Matthias de Meulder squeezed all in for 4,200 in the big blind and Piotrowski quickly got out of the way. According to the colleagues of PokerCity, the two Dutchmen exchanged some table talk and Kuan then called with the {9-Spades}{10-Spades}.

De Meulder had received the call he wanted, holding {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}, but the board ran out {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} to send the Belgian to the rail.

Hall and Helppi in

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Juha Helppi and Tom Hall entered after dinner and took seats right next to each other on the table of Julian Stuer and Rens Feenstra. The player in under the gun raised to 600 and Hall three-bet to 1,650 to get called by the initial raiser. Halls first continuation bet on the {7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop, but the 3,600 on the {8-Clubs} turn did the trick to enforce a fold from the player in under the gun.

Dvoress Busts van Hoof

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Jorryt van Hoof
Jorryt van Hoof

After a raise and three callers, Jorryt van Hoof squezed all in for 14,900 out of the big blind. Only Daniel Dvoress looked him up and they turned over their cards:

Dvoress: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
van Hoof: {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and the Dutchman will surely reenter either today or tomorrow.

Second Bullet for Finger

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

"Second bullet, I busted over there," Martin Finger grinned after being seated next to Joep van den Bijgaart. Both played the last hand of the level but nothing special came out of it before they headed into the dinner break.

Players have the option to purchase one reentry per day, making for a total of five bullets if required. One on each starting day and then another before the start of Day 2 on Wednesday. This certainly explains why some of the pros take a very aggressive approach early into the tournament.

Stuer Busts Vonk and van Leeuwen

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Niels van Leeuwen
Niels van Leeuwen

The seat of Marcel Vonk was empty and he had just purchased the second bullet shortly before the end of level four. Rens Feenstra confirmed that it was Julian Stuer who had received the chips and the German was also involved into a hand with Niels van Leeuwen as well.

Until the {4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} river, a pot of around 8,000 chips emerged and Stuer pushed all in. Van Leeuwen had around 16,600 chips behind and eventually called for his tournament life only to muck immediately when Stuer showed him the {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a flopped straight.

The bustout of Vonk was a copy of the situation according to Stuer, who jammed the river of a queen-high board for effectively 15,000 into a pot of 6,000. Vonk called with pocket aces only to see the German turn over {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flush.
