Antoine Vranken raised to 1,025 and the player in the small blind squeezed to 2,650. Richard Milne flat-called and Vranken then reraised to 7,750. Only Milne called and they headed to the flop.
Milne decided to play for stacks and check-raised all in at the worst possible time with . Vranken snapped him off with the and the turn and river were just a formality.
Marcel Luske bubbled one of the Main Event satellites a few days ago but was fully expected to participate in the Main Event. However, the "Flying Dutchman" was nowhere to be seen so far. Another familiar face that hasn't showed up yet at all is Lex Veldhuis, which comes as an equal surprise.
Ludovic Geilich raised and picked up one caller to fire a continuation bet on the flop . Hrazem Aanquich called and both then slowed down as the fell on the turn. The river was no reason either to resume betting and the Scot claimed the chips with for a pair of nines.
Geilich is slightly above starting stack whereas his opponent from the Netherlands should be in the current top five stacks in the room.
The seat of Piet Bakker was empty, but not for long, and the chips went to Paul Berende. It was a coin flip with the for Berende and Bakker's for a stack of 17,000 chips. Another player at the table had folded ace-king, too, yet Berende got there to claim the chips.

All around the world in less than 80 hours, that may be the title of the new book which includes the casual trips of poker pros. Steve O'Dwyer had just been in Macau a few days ago and came back to Amsterdam very recently. Just now the American with Irish roots took his seat between Ludovic Geilich and Eugene Katchalov.
Matthew Miller raised to 700 and was called by the player from one seat over before Yuguang Li squeezed to 2,700. Miller and the third player both called and headed to the flop . Li's continuation bet for 2,700 was called by Miller only before both checked down the turn and the river.
"Come on man," Miller complained and flashed his for a set of tens. Li claimed to have had ace-king, but Miller clearly said he didn't believe that story. The American is back on track in terms of the stack size and the same applies for Steve Watts as well. Tom Hall just entered again after busting Day 1a and took the nine seat on the table.
