: 200/500, 500 ante
We arrived on the flop as both blinds checked to Davidi Kitai on

The

Bart Spijkers Eliminated
Level 6
: 200/500, 500 ante
Bart Spijkers' seat was empty and Spijkers himself was nowhere to be found. His former neighbors Jasper Wetemans and Rens Feenstra told us Spijkers was down to his last fourteen big blinds when he shoved with 
. The player on the button called with 
and Spijkers found no help.
Spijkers still has the option to enter the MCOP, he can sign up before the start of Day 2 if he so wished. Wetemans and Feenstra, meanwhile, are both doing well with above average stacks.

Michiel Brummelhuis opened from early position with a raise to 1,000 and Van Puffelen, his neighbor, three-bet to 3,500. The small blind flat called before Brummelhuis shoved for effectively 30,000. Van Puffelen called, the small blind folded.
Brummelhuis showed

Heinze Hits the Rail
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
We ran into Olvedo Heinze who was standing in the tournament area, talking to Raoul Refos.
Heinze told us how he lost his last twenty big blinds in a button versus big blind situation. Heinze had but that hand proved no match to his opponents .
Before that, Heinze had lost a sizable portion of his stack with a set versus a rivered pair. "It all went downhill from there," Heinze said about the aftermath of the hand.
