We just saw Wouter Schuurbiers table in a pot worth about 30,000. His opponent had thought and would be victorious after the board. Schuurbiers, still smiling, handed over 14,400 and continued with just under 80,000.
Mateusz Moolhuizen got up from the table and walked around a little bit between his table and the one from his buddy Johan Goslings.
We asked what had happened, and Moolhuizen told us he just lost some chips in a hand where he knew he got bluffed. "I just didn't have the balls to pull the trigger" he laughed.
Moolhuizen told us he opened to 1,500 with on the button and the small blind three bet to 4,300. The big blind folded and Moolhuizen made the call. Both had 100 big blinds on the line in the hand and a rainbow board appeared. The small blind bet 5,100 and Moolhuizen made the call.
The on the turn made the small blind bet 13,000. Moolhuizen had a feeling his opponent had nothing, but didn't act on it and folded.
"Show me a nine" Moolhuizen said, and he was indeed shown a nine to confirm his presentiment.
Jannick Wrang's chair was vacant and the Danish regular was nowhere to be found. His former neighbor told us Wrang lost last of his chips with pocket aces. According to the nine-seat, Wrang ran his big pair into someone's straight, and that was it.
Well, Van der Fluit did have kings but his opponent had aces. Nothing exciting happened to be honest, the board came queen high with a huge lack of kings and other options for Van der Fluit.
The bracelet winner has made his exit just fifteen minutes before the dinner break.
