No Bonus for van Hoof
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Noah Boeken reraised from the cutoff and then called the squeeze to 3,000 by Jorryt van Hoof out of the small blind, the other player in the hand folded. Both players checked down the board 
entirely and van Hoof flipped over the 
. Boeken won the hand with the 
and then David Boyaciyan joked "bonus?".
The seven deuce game is fairly popular at the cash game tables, but not necessarily profitable in tournaments.

Salter Doesn't Fall for the Trap
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Louis Salter raised from early position and was called by three opponents including Noah Boeken on the button and Jorryt van Hoof in the big blind. On the 
flop all four of them check and van Hoof was then the only to check-call a delayed continuation bet of the Brit for 1,000.
Both once again check the river and that was good for Salter, as he was shown 
by van Hoof.

The Defending Champion Folds the River
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
With the board reading 
, the player in the cutoff over on table 22 bet 2,500 for about half the pot. His opponent in the nine seat was no other than the defending champion Ruben Visser and the Dutchman eventually folded to give up the pot. It was no stellar start yet for Visser but there is plenty of time with "only" 180 big blinds.
At the same table is also Pascal Hartmann.
