Welcome to the Final Day of the 2015 Unibet Open Antwerp

Unibet Open Antwerp Trophy
Unibet Open Antwerp Trophy

It is all about the trophy including diamond on Day 3 of the €1,100 Unibet Open Antwerp Main Event, as 15 players out of a 321-entry strong field remain. The hopefuls have €4,150 locked up for their efforts whereas the first-place finish comes with a payout of €71,000 and a new chapter in the history books of the popular tournament series.

Action resumes in one hour from now as of 13:00 local time in "De Shop" with level 19 and blinds at 8,000-16,000 and a running ante of 2,000. Local player Alexander Beeckx is leading the field with 1,625,000 in chips. The only former Unibet Open champion, and one of eight players that won their entry through the the online poker site, Mateusz Moolhuizen, follows in second place with 1,365,000 and Hans Sybrandi completes the overnight podium on 1,300,000.

The remaining field mostly consists of local participants from either Belgium or the Netherlands, but a few international players made it through to Day 3 as well: Sweden's Micael Emanuelsson (770,000), Englishman and 2013 Irish Open champion Ian Simpson (469,000), online qualifier Erik Loschan from Germany (340,000) as well as Day 1a chip leader Niko Koop (301,000) are still in it to win it.

The Dutch armada is also represented by Marco Herman (712,000), Paul Vergeer (649,000) and Vincentius van Oosterhout (316,000) whereas Gordon Plomp (535,000), Koen Lauwereys (461,000), David Janssen (360,000), Laurens de Smet (225,000) and Tom Dingenen (154,000) are trying to keep the title on Belgian home soil.

As of 14:30 local time, the Unibet live stream will get underway with a security delay of 30 minutes and you can follow the action of the feature table via Twitch and here on PokerNews. The live reporting team will provide updates synchronized for both tables as of the same time and continues until a winner is crowned, so make sure to tune back in regularly and find out who lifts the trophy in the "Diamond City."

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Ian Simpson
Ian Simpson

Laurens de Smet opened to 34,000 from under the gun and Ian Simpson shoved all in for just over 200,000 from the small blind. Micael Emanuelsson folded and de Smet asked for a rough count before making the call.

De Smet: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Simpson: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and Simpson headed to the rail in 15th place for a payday of €4,141.

David Janssen Eliminated in 14th Place (€4,150)

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
David Janssen
David Janssen

David Janssen open-shoved for 197,000 from under the gun and Hans Sybrandi, who had been moved to the secondary table, called from the button.

Janssen: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Sybrandi: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Janssen took the lead on the flop {8-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and the {8-Diamonds} turn was a blank as well, but his fortune was short-lived as the {J-Diamonds} hit on the river to give Sybrandi a straight.

Niko Koop Eliminated in 13th Place (€4,150)

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Niko Koop
Niko Koop

Chip leader Alexander Beeckx opened and then faced the three-bet of Niko Koop for 115,000 to see a flop of {6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Both players checked and Koop also checked the {5-Diamonds} turn.

Beeckx over-shoved and Koop called rather quickly for around 420,000 to immediately sigh when spotting the hand of his opponent.

Beeckx: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Koop: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The {10-Diamonds} river was a blank and that sent Koop to the rail in 13th place. Beeckx recovered the losses of earlier and extended his lead once again.

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Erik Loschan
Erik Loschan

Gordon Plomp moved all in from the cutoff and so did Erik Loschan from one seat over, all other players on the feature table folded.

Plomp: {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Loschan: {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The German was the player at risk and he would hit the rail after a board of {7-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{3-Clubs} to reduce the field to its last 11 hopefuls. Loschan takes home €5,072 for his efforts.

Plomp: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Vergeer: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Plomp was sent to the rail in 11th place for a payday of €5,072.

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Marco Herman
Marco Herman

Laurens de Smet raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Marco Herman moved all in from one seat over. Hans Sybrandi asked for a count and then folded in the small blind, so did Micael Emanuelsson in the big blind. De Smet quickly called and put a classic race underway.

Herman: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
De Smet: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The flop {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} improved de Smet while the {10-Diamonds} on the turn gave Herman some further outs to avoid his elimination. On the {8-Diamonds} river, it was all over for the Dutchman and he headed to the rail. A short break takes place to set up the official final table.

Tom Dingenen Eliminated in 9th Place (€7,000)

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Tom Dingenen
Tom Dingenen

Tom Dingenen raised to 66,000 from the cutoff with and was called by Vincent van Oosterhout in the small blind and Koen Lauwereys in the big blind.

On the flop {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, the action checked to Dingenen and he continued for 80,000 which both opponents called. The disastrous {J-Clubs} fell on the turn and again it was checked to Dingenen, who bet 190,000. Van Oosterhout called and then Lauwereys moved all in for 401,000.

Dingenen shoved for 415,000 and van Oosterhuit eventually folded his {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Lauwereys: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}
Dingenen: {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The {3-Hearts} river was already meaningless as Dingenen was drawing dead and left with less than one big blind.

One hand later he shoved with the {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and was called by three opponents including van Oosterhout and the latter bet the flop {K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{K-Spades} to isolate successfully. The Dutchman showed {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Dingenen was drawing dead, making the {5-Diamonds} turn and {10-Diamonds} river a formality.

Micael Emanuelsson raised to 80,000 with the {A-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Vincent van Oosterhout called all in for 28,000 with the {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Behind him, Koen Lauwereys with {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, Hans Sybrandi with {K-Spades}{J-Spades} and Mateusz Moolhuizen in the big blind with {6-Hearts}{3-Spades} called.

All players checked the flop {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Moolhuizen then bet the {3-Diamonds} turn for 155,000 to isolate successfully. A cruel {3-Clubs} river gave Moolhuizen a full house and van Oosterhout hit the rail in 8th place for a payday of €9,400.

Laurens de Smet Eliminated in 7th Place (€11,700)

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Laurens de Smet
Laurens de Smet

Mateusz Moolhuizen raised to 105,000 and Laurens de Smet three-bet to 235,000 before Moolhuizen asked his opponent for the stack size. He then jammed for effective 1.5 million and de Smet called off with the better hand:

Moolhuizen: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
De Smet: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The flop {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} improved Moolhuizen and he kept the lead on the {6-Spades} turn and the {J-Clubs} river to drag in a massive pot and bust de Smet in 7th place.
