and was up against the 
of Engel. The board ran out 
and Engel hit the rail.
Tomorrow, the €10,000 High Roller gets underway, an event Engel might want to sign up for.

Pim Gieles stood on the rail, watching his brother Luuk who still has a good stack in this event. Pim told us how he had lost his stack moments before.
Anton Wigg opened and Michal Mrakes three-bet. With pocket queens and 26,000 in chips, Pim Gieles shoved. A player behind him went all in over the top and everyone else got out of the way. Gieles turned out to be up against pocket aces and didn't improve.

Action folded to Matthias De Meulder on the button and he shoved all in for 20,500. His neighbor, small blind James King, called. The big blind folded.
Matthias De Meulder: 
James King: 
The flop of 
brought De Meulder some outs and the 
on the turn was about as good a card as they could come outside of a trey or five. The river, though, was the 
which left De Meulder empty-handed.
As De Meulder got up from the table and made his way to the exit, his friend Steven van Zadelhoff on one of the other tables asked him sarcastically if he was going on a short break.
De Meulder, as always with a smile, said he was going for a short walk.
"Rather short and powerful instead of a slow death," De Meulder said.
