Van der Ven First To Go, Boeken Profits
We missed it, but one of our colleasgues told us the details of the first bust out of the day.
Noah Boeken, who won this event back in 2013, raised to 400 and Hans Bosman called in position. From the cutoff, Floris van der Ven, a well known Dutch poker pro specialized in cash games, squeezed to 1,500. Boeken was the only caller, Bosman folded.
Boeken check-called a bet of 1,200 on 
before the 
hit the turn. Boeken checked again and Van der Ven bet 4,000. Boeken moved all in, putting Van der Ven to the test for his 16,000 stack. Van der Ven called.
Floris van der Ven: 
Noah Boeken: 
The river 
did nothing for Van der Ven and he was the first to hit the rail here in Amsterdam. He still has the option to buy back in today, or take some rest and try again on Day 1b.
