Hakim Zoufri Eliminated

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

The player under the gun opened for 1,500. Next up was Hakim Zoufri who shoved for 17,300. His neighbor cold called and action folded around to the initial raiser. That player tanked for a bit before letting it go.

Hakim Zoufri: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Initial raiser: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Zoufri hit the rail. Zoufri, who won last year's MCOP Main Event, already entered twice today, so he won't be able to buy back in. He can, however, enter once more before the start of play on Day 2, if he so chooses.

Nevanlinna Loses Flip

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Jussi Nevanlinna won the 2015 MCOP
Jussi Nevanlinna won the 2015 MCOP

Jussi Nevanlinna has a pretty good track record here at the Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam, having finished in the money 4 times. Three of those times, he made the final table. Once, 2 years ago, he won the event.

There's a long way to go for Nevanlinna to do that again. He's not off to a great start as he's relatively short with 17,000 in chips. He just lost {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} preflop all in against {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. He flopped a set on {J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} but his opponent made a flush on the {K-Hearts} turn. The {3-Clubs} on the river didn't pair the board and Nevanlinna parted ways with a sizable chunk of chips.

Brummelhuis Loses a Bit to Nevanlinna

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Former champion Jussi Nevanlinna was just seen with his face hidden away in his shirt in a hand against Michiel Brummelhuis. The latter told us he had bet all the way on a board of {3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{A-Spades}{7-Diamonds} only to get check-raised on the river by Nevanlinna. Nevanlinna, who won this event back in 2015, didn't have to hold his breath for too long as Brummelhuis folded almost immediately.

The next hand, Brummelhuis got those chips back, and then some. He got it in with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} against the {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} of a different opponent and won on {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.
