Van Boxtel Drops Some

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

As we walked by, we dropped in on a three-way pot with Raúl Van Boxtel checking from the blinds. Clyde Tjauw Foe checked as well and Joris Ruys took the betting lead placing 1,100 in front of him on a flop of {7-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Van Boxtel called, Tjauw Foe folded.

The {10-Hearts} hit the turn and Van Boxtel lead out for 1,200. Ruys called, and he called the 2,175-bet that followed on the {4-Diamonds} river as well. Van Boxtel showed {7-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for the flopped top two, Ruys mucked.

While Van Boxtel was stacking his chips, he leaned back and told us about a hand he had lost earlier where he dropped a sizable part of his stack.

The player under the gun raised to 300 and one player called before Van Boxtel over called from the cutoff. The button queezed to 1,500 and just Van Boxtel called.

Van Boxtel check-called 1,700 on {J-}{8-}{Q-}, 3,600 on the {3-Clubs} turn and 11,000 on the {9-Hearts} river. His neighbor showed {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the rivered straight and Van Boxtel mucked.

The Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam Starts Today!

Holland Casino Amsterdam
Holland Casino Amsterdam

The Master Classics of Poker in Holland Casino Amsterdam is back! Today, the €4,250 MCOP Main Event featuring two opening days, is set to start at 2 p.m. local time. Day 1b of the event is set for Tuesday, November 22nd. Surviving players will compete for three more days from Nov. 23 to Nov. 25 until a winner is crowned.

Last year, Finland's Jussi Nevanlinna outlasted a 291-entry field to win the exclusive winner's plate, Skullcandy headphones and a first-place payout of €300,000.

Two years prior to Nevanlinna's win, the title was kept on home soil. Dutch poker pro Ruben Visser emerged victorious against 2011 MCOP Main Event champion David Boyaciyan to win the top prize of €225,000 as part of a three-way final table deal in 2014. In 2013, Dutch poker player Noah Boeken claimed the €306,821 top prize in that year's Main Event.

We'll keep you up to date the entire day on all the latest developments in the Main Event and, every now and then, we'll take a look at the €25,000 Super High Roller that started yesterday. The biggest buy-in event ever on Dutch soil attracted a field of 12 players with registration open till start of play today.
