Day 2 Started

After Day 1A and 1B both played their nine levels, the total entries for the Master Classics of Poker 2018 Main Event sits at 266. Of those 266, just 106 players made their way to Day 2.

Both numbers might still grow, as registration for the event remains open till the start of play today. Players that busted earlier also still have the option to register. Players buying in now receive 30,000 in chips, 25 big blinds.

Play gets back underway at 2 pm local time with blinds of 600 and 1,200, and a big blind ante of 1,200.

Leading the field is 2013 November Niner Michiel Brummelhuis. After topping the 200,000-mark in the last level of the day, he eventually bagged 193,100.

Early Doubled for Van Zadelhoff

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In one of the first hands of the day, Cristian Egues opened under the gun for 2,500. The action folded to Steven van Zadelhoff in the small blind. He shoved for 28,200 and the big blind folded. Egues thought about it for a bit before he eventually called.

Cristian Egues: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Steven van Zadelhoff: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {9-Spades} and Van Zadelhoff doubled.

De Meulder Eliminated

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Matthias De Meulder
Matthias De Meulder

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: {A-Spades}{3-Spades}
James King: {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The flop of {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades} brought De Meulder some outs and the {2-Spades} on the turn was about as good a card as they could come outside of a trey or five. The river, though, was the {8-Diamonds} 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.

Gieles Eliminated

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

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.

Feenstra Busts to Van den Berg

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Rens Feenstra
Rens Feenstra

Feenstra was seen on the rail and told us what had happened.

Thierry van den Berg opened under the gun plus two for 2,600. Action folded to Rens Feenstra in the big blind who three-bet to 9,200. Van den Berg answered the challenge with a four-bet all in for 49,400. Feenstra called.

Thierry van den Berg: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Rens Feenstra: {A-}{K-}

The board ran out {5-}{5-}{J-}{Q-}{5-} and Feenstra was left with 2,000 or so.

The next hand, Van den Berg opened and Feenstra called all in from the small blind with {Q-}{9-}. Big blind Noah Boeken came along as well but gave up to a bet from Van den Berg on {A-}{8-}{6-}{5-}. Van den Berg showed {A-}{8-} and Feenstra failed to catch a seven on the river.
