Barely noticed, Christophe de Meulder has also entered the competition as well. His twin brother Matthias is in and that may lead to a few problems in case they get seated on the same table. For now they are separated tough, Matthias on table 12 and Christophe over on table four.
Nabavieh Kiarash and Fritz Nygren have been eliminated. The former was on the table of Niko Koop whereas the latter had a big draw against Kanstantsin Kamenka when his remaining stack of 22,500 went in.
The flop was reading 
and Nygren had the 
for a gutshot and flush draw, giving Kamenka a big sweat with his 
. However, the pair of aces held up with the 
turn and 
river filling up the board.
Alex Hendriks lost some of his early profit and fell below starting stack while Jochum Weenink in the seat over went the other way. The Dutchman three-bet against Jorma Vuoksenmaa and was called by the Finn. On the flop 
, Vuoksenmaa check-called a bet of 1,600 and did so again for 2,200 on the 
turn.
The 
river slowed things down and both players checked, Vuoksenmaa showed a pair of fours and a busted flush draw while Weenink raked in the pot with 
.
Marc Naalden has been eliminated after turning a straight with 
. It was an unfortunate timing, as Morgan Wald had flopped the higher straight with 
on 
and scored the knockout. Shortly after, Auke Attema was all in for 8,050 and Wald pushed forward his stack of T-5,000 chips to isolate.
Attema had 
and the Swede the 
. This time however, the player at risk got there on the board 
to put a small dent into the stack of Wald.
With the board reading 
, there were about 10,000 in the pot and Morgan Wald made a bet of 6,100. His table neighbor Tomas Martinsson tossed in two yellow T-5,000 chips. Wald had already mucked the cards and then the dealer asked Martinsson whether he wanted to call or to raise.
"I wanted to raise. I know what I did wrong," the Swede replied and floor didn't have to be called to clarify the situation. Both Swedes have started well and sit
it has been confirmed that the late registration for both starting days will conclude at the end of level four, thus players only have the chance to join the competition still within the hour. One of those to take advantage of it was Matthias de Meulder, who just showed up in the tournament area.

"It was fun while it lasted," Joachim Kleiven joked and walked away from the table with a smile on the face. He had just doubled up Alex Hendriks for almost all of his chips with 
versus 
and the board 
had blanked. The remaining 825 chips vanished with 
against Jorma Vuoksenmaa shortly after the and Norwegian finalist from Cannes was out.
"I folded five-six suited," Dieter van Itterbeeck said after the showdown on the river of a board 
. Parkas Somer had moved all in for his last 8,125 chips into a pot of 19,000 and his opponent Mark Heirman eventually called. Somer immediately tapped the table and then showed the 
, which Heirman had beat with 
for kings and fives.
Morgan Wald may very well be the first player on six digits when it comes to the overall chip count, as the Swede has increased the stack further. Same applies for Niels de Wijs, who is hot on his heels, as well as Guy Goosens.
