Van Brugge Wins With Kicker

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

Kees van Brugge, who recently finished fourth at the Main Event of the Master Classics of Poker, won a checked-down pot on the river of a board {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Arne Coulier had checked the small blind and then showed {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} with van Brugge flipping over {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for the slightly better kicker.

"Wow, how do I lose that one. Nice hand," Coulier joked.

Coulier Busts to Verhagen

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

In a pot of around 26,000, Arne Coulier was all in and at risk from the cutoff with {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Johan Verhagen had put him at risk from the small blind with {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. "That's not a good flop," stated Coulier after the dealer had put the {A-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} flop. Both the {Q-Hearts} turn and {A-Spades} river changed nothing whatsoever anymore either and that was it for the Belgian.

He hit the rail early in level five after three Dutchman had previously busted.

The registration for the 2015 €1,100 Main Event of the Unibet Open in Antwerp has officially closed with the start of level five. So far there are 196 entrants showing for the second starting day and this would create an overall field of 321. This number is yet to be officially confirmed, though.

Jacks for Luske, No Joy for Alekberovas

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

Marcel Luske check-called three streets with pocket jacks and was correct as his opponent was bluffing with {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} to award the pot to the Dutchman.

Grzegorz Wyraz was sent back below starting stack and then moved tables while Anaras Alekberovas from one table over bet the {3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} turn for 3,200. His opponent in the big blind check-raised to 8,800 and Alekberovas let go.

Callens Takes over the Lead

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

Local player Ann-Roos Callens just flat-called the shove of Timmy Lovsin with pocket jacks and all other opponents folded. Lovsin had two over cards in {K-}{Q-}, but there was no help on the board to send him to the rail. With that pot, Callens moved very close to six digits and appears to be the current chip leader.

Peters Busts Buss

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

"Just a typical hand for me," Tobias Peters joked after just having sent Walter Buss to the rail. The Dutchman had found pocket kings on the button and three-bet the open-raise of Buss from 1,600 to 4,500. Buss called and they got it in after a flop of {8-}{5-}{K-}. Buss' pocket aces failed to catch any of the two outs in the deck with a [10xx] turn and {Q-} river filling up the board.

Also out: Niels van Leeuwen, Joris Hermans, Cristian Cirtog and Bogdan Petru Petrascu.

Marillaud Activates God Mode

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

The seats one, two and four were empty and Jessy Marillaud was sitting in the middle on his throne with plenty of chips. The Frenchman had busted all three of his opponents and the biggest hand came off a battle of the blinds where he had the {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. On a flop of {A-}{3-}{5-} his opponent check-called a bet of 1,100 and then check-raised all in after the {6-} turn with {A-}{8-}.

Sometimes poker can be really easy.

Verheyen Busts; Lust Doesn't

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

In a preflop all in, Thomas Lust doubled up his short stack of 13 big blinds with {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} against the {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs} of Pascal Vos. The board ran out {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{K-Spades} to ensure the breath of fresh air for Lust.

Shortly after, Tim Verheyen three-bet shoved his last 6,700 from early position and initial raiser Johan Goslings called with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. The board came {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Verheyen joined the rail. Table big stack is Mark Verkuylen.
