Veldhuis Scores a Knockout
Level 3
: 400/800, 100 ante
Towards the end of level two, Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis earned the first $250 bounty of the tournament. Veldhuis on the button three-bet an open-raiser, picked up one cold-caller and "silskyer" then four-bet to 16,800. Once it folded back to Veldhuis he moved all-in with 
and was snap-called by 
to spike his three-outer on the flop.
Within the first two levels, "Bonglim" has already been eliminated twice and another notable to bust was "saks80".

Move Gone Wrong by 8_Spizzico_9
Level 3
: 400/800, 100 ante
The chips are flying left and right as the field approaches 600 entries and some of those that busted are already back in the for the second bullet such as "WRUUUUM".
"8_Spizzico_9" lost his first bullet with sheer aggression when he three-bet the 
, bet the 
flop and jammed the 
turn. Unfortunately, initial raiser "Clabbenyman" had check-called the first time and did so in a heartbeat with the 
for the flopped nuts.
Patrick "pads1161" Leonard scored a first bounty and yesterday's finalist "danechka1991" did so as well.
After 55 minutes of play, the first scheduled 5-minute break then kicked off with 585 players out of 624 entries remaining.

Level 3
: 400/800, 100 ante
On a three-way flop of 
it was "VladTheSlaye" that bet 2,400 and he was called twice including under-the-gun raiser Christopher "lissi stinkt" Frank and "EO88881" in the big blind.
After the 
turn, only "EO88881" check-called a bet of 10,400 by "VladTheSlaye" and then checked the 
river. "EO88881" tabled 
for the busted nutflushdraw and "VladTheSlaye" had that beat with 
for two pair.
In the early morning hours, Ukraine's "VladTheSlaye" finished third in the SCOOP-02-M: $215 NLHE 8-Max PKO Mini Thursday Thrill SE and is off to a good start once more.
At almost the same time and on another table, Niklas "Lena900" Astedt lost one of his bullets for the tournament when he had a classic flip. The 
of Astedt met with the 
of "MB TREMENDO" and the board came up blank for the Swede.

Level 4
: 500/1,000, 125 ante
There are already more than 50 bounties claimed as the field has reached 698 entries and 633 players remain.

After losing to , Margereson was left with crumbs and got it in preflop. Multi-way action ensured that "nomalice" and "Festivuss" got their chips in as well with the better end for "nomalice".
In the meanwhile, Andrey "Kroko-dill" Zaichenko and PokerStars ambassador Ben "Spraggy" Spragg have entered the field and more than doubled up.

The Flips Keep Coming
Level 5
: 600/1,200, 150 ante
Especially during the re-entry period the chips find their way into the middle of the table very frequently and "Clabbenyman" was involved once more. He had one of those classic flips for an extra payday when he took on "ArtHouse2011" with 
versus 
.
The board came 
and that cut down the stack of "Clabbenyman" to 30 big blinds.
