Stefan Wolzak was seen standing at the payout desk, and was kind enough to tell us what had happened.

On the feature table, [Removed:172] raised to 11,000. Alberto Stegeman called before Wolzak squeezed to 40,000. Kramer came over the top for 85,000 and Stegeman folded. Wolzak shoved with kings for 189,000 but was met with a swift call as Kramer had aces.

No help on the flop, turn, or river and that was it for Wolzak, one of the more active players in the tournament.

Kramer, who had doubled through Jasper Meijer van Putten shortly before, is now the chip leader with 1.1 million in chips.

Day 3 of the Master Classics of Poker Main Event Starts at 2 pm

At 2 pm local time, in about 3.5 hours from now, the Main Event of the 2018 Master Classics of Poker gets underway. 36 players remain in contention for the title, and the plan is to play down to a final table of 9 today. There's half an hour left in Level 16: 2,500-5,000, with a 5,000 button ante.

Leading the pack are two high stakes German poker players, both who have visited the MCOP in Amsterdam before. Max Lehmanski has gathered by far the biggest stack with 696,000 in chips. [Removed:172] follows suit in second position with 584,500 in chips. Totti Arosuo, one of the many Fins playing this MCOP, sits in third position with 560,000.

The best local player, Alberto Stegeman, follows close behind with 557,000 in chips. Stegeman is a Dutch journalist and tv host, with a well-documented love of the game. Last year, in this very event, he finished 18th for €12,189 ($14,351), at the time his most significant cash. He's well on his way to improve on that result this year.

The 36 remaining players are all guaranteed €7,800 ($8,801). By the time the day ends, the nine remaining players will have €23,983 ($27,064) locked up. In tomorrow's final, the players will battle for the first-place prize of €240,183 ($271,017).
