Wesselink Hits a Miracle King

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The player under the gun, who hadn't showed down a bad hand all day, according to table mate Thierry van den Berg, opened for 1,000. Marcel Buissink called from middle position before Wesselink squeezed from the button to 4,400 with {A-}{K-}.

The blinds got out of the way and the initial raiser 4-bet to 11,000. Buissink folded but Wesselink moved in for 44,000 effectively. Under the gun called with {J-}{J-}.

The flop and turn brought no help to Wesselink but the {K-} on the river sure did. Wesselink's bounty is now worth €1,370 as he sits on a 100,000-stack.

Krijn Pockets Another €500 After Hitting Lucky Nine

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The hijack (worth €1,000) opened for 1,500 and the cutoff called. From the button, Tonny Krijn squeezed to 5,500. Both blinds released quickly and the hijack shoved for 29,625. The cutoff folded right away, Krijn called after some time in the tank.

Tonny Krijn: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Hijack: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

As Krijn's neighbor informed the player at risk that he had folded a nine, the board ran out {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Krijn's bounty was upped by €500 (now €1,870), and Krijn himself got €500.

Wesselink Knocks Out Opponents in Back-to-Back Hands

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Wim Anne Wesselink
Wim Anne Wesselink

On a board of {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}, we saw Wim Anne Wesselink call someone's all in for 10,000. A third player folded. Wesselink was well behind with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} as his opponent showed {7-Clubs}{8-Spades}. The river {Q-Clubs}, though, helped Wesselink collect another €500 bounty, €250 ending up in his pocket.

The next hand, Wesselink opened the hijack for 1,300. Dieter Victor in the cutoff called, and so did the big blind. The big blind checked on {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Wesselink bet 2,200. Both of his opponents called.

As the {J-Hearts} hit the turn, the big blind checked again. Wesselink bet 4,100 and his neighbor shoved for 12,425. The big blind folded, Wesselink called.

Dieter Victor: {9-Spades}{10-Spades}
Wim Anne Wesselink: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The river {J-Hearts} improved Wesselink to trips and he took down Victor's €1,340 bounty. Wesselink is worth €2,310 himself now.

Pascal Vos Eliminated

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Pascal Vos hit the rail in one of the first hands back from break. He told us that the button opened and he shoved for 20 big blinds from the big blind. The button called with {A-}{K-} while Vos had {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. No improvement on the flop, turn, or river, and Vos departed.

Van Boxtel Versus Roberts

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The 2 early chip leaders just played a hand against each other. They aren't leading anymore, though.

Van Boxtel opened from late position for 2,100 and the small blind and Doug Roberts in the big blind called. The blinds checked on {3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Van Boxtel bet what appeared to be 1,700. The small blind folded, Roberts called.

Both checked the {5-Clubs} on the turn before the {2-Clubs} completed the board. Roberts bet 3,500 and Van Boxtel called.

Roberts showed {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Van Boxtel mucked.

Krijn Takes a Hit

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

As we arrived, the board was already out in a hand involving Tonny Krijn and one opponent. Krijn had 37,500 in front of him on {4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} while his foe had 72,000 out front, telling us it was a 3-bet and not a check-raise.

Krijn tanked long and hard, thinking about his options for a good 5 minutes. Eventually, the clock was called and Krijn folded with just 2 seconds left to act.
