Van der Ven Doubles Lehmanski

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

From middle position, Maxi Lehmanski limped in out of a 20 big blind stack and Floris van der Ven raised to 3 times the big blind on the button. The blinds folded and Lehmanski shoved all in. Van der Ven called.

Floris van der Ven: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Maxi Lehmanski: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Lehmanski doubled.

Lybaert Doubles With Deuces, Peetoom Loses With Aces

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Roger Peetoom, though still smiling, said he wasn't too big a fan of the game sometimes. He explained how he had just ost with {A-}{A-} to {2-}{2-}. His right-hand neighbor, Bart Lybaert, was all smiles as he was the one who had pushed with deuces from the button. Peetoom had looked him up with aces but saw Lybaert hit a deuce on the flop to double.

Lybaert doubled his 18,000 stack in that hand and doubled once more not much later. The second time, he won {A-}{Q-} against {10-}{10-} which has resulted in a 60,000-stack in front of Lybaert.

Back to the Farm for Coulier

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Arne Coulier got up from his seat and said he was going back to the farm he lives on in Belgium. Coulier will be there taking care of the animals for only a bit as a big tournament in Belgian starts next week, the event he won twice already and plans to attend again.

Marijn van Puffelen opened and called Coulier's 21,700 shove. Coulier had {10-}{10-} and turned out to be up against {A-}{J-}. The board ran out {6-}{5-}{5-}{2-}{J-} and Van Puffelen added Coulier's chips to his already impressive stack.

Feenstra Knocks Someone Out

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Rens Feenstra with Shander de Vries on Day 1
Rens Feenstra with Shander de Vries on Day 1

Rens Feenstra opened under the gun for 2,700 and got called in 2 spots: the cutoff, and Jens Lakemeier in the big blind called.

Lakemeier checked on {6-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Feenstra bet 5,500. The cutoff called, Lakemeier folded.

As the {3-Clubs} hit the turn, Feenstra bet 11,000. His opponent shoved for about 40,000 and Feenstra called.

Rens Feenstra: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Cutoff: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The river {9-Diamonds} was a blank and Feenstra started stacking.

Van Brugge-Style

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We could hardly see Kees van Brugge, hiding behind massive towers of chips stacked at least 40 high. Van Brugge told us he had done that in typical "Van Brugge Style".

Van Brugge explained how he had just doubled to 66,000 when he opened the button with {A-Spades}{6-Spades}. Dan Carter, in the small blind, 3-bet and Van Brugge called. The flop came {A-}{Q-Spades}{9-Spades} and Carter made a continuation bet. Van Brugge called.

The turn was a {5-} bringing a second flush draw. Carter shoved for 1.5 times the pot and Van Brugge called.

Carter had {A-}{J-} and was soon out of there as a {X-Spades} hit the river to complete Van Brugge's flush.

Van Brugge wasn't too worried when he got it in, "Everyone knew I was gonna get there," he proclaimed with a big smile on his face.

Vranken Eliminated

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Again, we didn't witness the hand ourselves but got 2nd-hand intel from the player that busted. Antoine Vranken was seen standing on the rail, not a good place to be for him.

Vranken told us he was down to 12 big blinds and shoved the hijack with {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The cutoff looked him up with {A-}{K-}. The flop came {10-}{4-}{4-} helping Vranken in front. The {9-} on the turn was a blank but the {K-} on the river wasn't and Vranken left.

Paris Eliminated

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Bryan Paris was seen walking out of the tournament area. He just got eliminated, losing his last 10 big blinds with {9-}{9-} against {A-}{J-}. He pushed all in under the gun and found a caller, and the latter made a straight on the turn to send Paris packing.
