Hermanus van Beek Keeps Shipping Pots

Hermanus van Beek has been witnessed having fun most of the day. He now sits at around 220,000 chips, which we believe is the chip lead at the moment.

Van Beek shared with us, "I don't play many big pots, but I win a lot."

The biggest pot that came to mind for van Beek was when he had and flopped a full house against his opponent's to ship a 40,000 pot. We also just witnessed him win a pot for around 20,000 chips when his beat his opponent's with both players whiffing the board.

Van Beek also shared with us that he heard about the PokerNews Cup from a friend. He shared with us that his friend told him that the PokerNews Cup has a great structure and is one of the best low limit tournaments of the year.

Van Beek also said, "So far, the PokerNews Cup has been just as my friend said it would be." We'll keep an eye out for Van Beek, especially on Day 2 if he bags and tags some chips.
