The Field Size Increases

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

A few players that busted recently rejoined shortly after including Kuljinder Sidhu and Ludovic Geilich. The Scot had found a new home just one table over from where he had been before and immediately faced Antoine Vranken in a smaller pot.

On the {K-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades} river with a pot of 12,000, Vranken bet with a T-10,000 chip and Geilich tank-folded.

Sidhu Stacked

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Kuljinder Sidhu raised to 1,500 and picked up three callers to find an up and down straight draw with the {6-}{7-}. The turn completed the straight and one opponent wasn't willing to fold pocket queens.

Fresh off the double, Sidhu called the shove of a short stack for 11,450 with the {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and flipped against {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. The board came {8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and the pair of tens gave Sidhu another boost to his second bullet.

Ensan and Agerskov Out; de Meulder Back in

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Hossein Ensan and Rasmus Agerskov are no longer in today#s field while Matthias de Meulder registered again and sat down next to Jussi Nevanlinna. It was the Finn that raised to 1,600 and picked up two callers including Faraz Jaka.

On the {J-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop, Nevanlinna continued for 3,400 and just Jaka called before giving up the {7-Diamonds} turn to a second bet worth 8,200.

Guldenaar Busts Gruissem

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Philipp Gruissem
Philipp Gruissem

Marco Guldenaar opened to 2,000 and Philipp Gruissem three-bet to 5,000 from two seats over. Guldenaar called and check-raised the flop {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} flop from 6,000 to 16,000. Gruissem called and then faced the all in of the Dutchman on the {K-Diamonds} turn for 51,400. Gruissem only had 45,000 himself and eventually called it off:

Gruissem: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Guldenaar: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The {Q-Spades} river bricked and that sent Gruissem to the rail while Paul Berende bought back in.

No Luck with the First Bullet

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Bryn Kenney three-bet out of the big blind and then got his stack in after the turn of a {Q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} board. His opponent on the button looked him up with the {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a straight and Kenney needed a king to double up, holding {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

The {K-Hearts} river blanked and Kenney headed to the rail. Whether or not he will buy in again right now or before the start of Day 2 is unknown at this point.
