After a limp and a raise to 525, from the cutoff Cor Janssen three-bet to 1,500. Over in the big blind, Olvedo Heinze called and the limper folded. The player that had three-bet, took back his chips, contemplated how much to make it for about a second or three, and slid forward 5,200.
Heinze didn't agree with that move, stating that in Holland Casino players weren't allowed to take back chips and then raise; taking back chips was equal to calling, according to Heinze. The brush came to the table and, eventually, agreed with Heinze. The four-bet was not going through, it was ruled a call.
The flop came and Heinze checked. The player that had intended to four-bet, lead for 2,200. Janssen instantly raised to 5,300. Heinze folded, the player that had lead, now called.
The hit the turn and the player checked. Janssen shoved all in and a fold followed.
"I thought, let me just end all the commotion" Janssen said with a big smile, showing in the process.
On a board of , we saw 5,500 going in between three players. The hit the river and Thierry van den Berg, acting from the big blind, shoved all in for 17,150.
His neighbor, seated under the gun, folded quite quickly.
Action was on the player in the cutoff and he tanked for some time before folding as well.
Van den Berg slammed on the table and exclaimed: "I still have my balls!"
As Van den Berg started stacking, he asked if his neighbor had a hit and flush draw (under the gun nodded) and asked the cutoff if he had ace-king (the cutoff too nodded).
Some players we haven't seen in years (Joris "JazzyFace" Jaspers and Justin "L.O.G.I.C.O" Bliek), other's have been around the entire festival already. There's still a queue for registration, the field is getting bigger and bigger.
The 2016 Master Classics of Poker started earlier last week, and Day 1a got underway before the weekend. Now it's time for Day 1b, after a 3-day hiatus. Players entering today get, like on Day 1a, 30,000 in chips and there are 9 levels of 60 minutes each on the schedule. Busting out isn't a deal breaker right away, players have the option to reenter once if they lose all of their chips.
A big field is expected for this €4,400-buy-in event. On Day 1a, a total of 121 players bought in with 50 surviving the day. Ending up on top was Dutchman Nico Kuan with 195,000 in chips. In second place, with 170,200 in chips, was none other than former MCOP Main Event champion Noah Boeken.
There's a free buffet, free candy, free fresh fruit and a day of spectacular poker action awaiting the players. PokerNews.com will be on the floor to bring you updates on all the action the entire day.
