The following hand happened 30 minutes ago, but to not spoil the stream only appears online right now.

We kind of missed it, but Tim van Meene was kind enough to fill us in on what had just happened.

Joseph Said was short and shoved all in with {6-}{6-}. Van Meene woke up with {Q-}{Q-} and made the call. A board full of blanks later saw Said exit and Van Meene stack up to 780,000.

Benger Bets Big

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

From the hijack, Bas de Laat opened and action folded to Griffin Benger in the big blind. He asked how much De Laat had started the hand with (500,000) and how much the raise was (40,000), and called.

Both players checked the {K-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop and {8-Hearts} turn before the river paired the board with the {10-Clubs}. Benger bet out a hefty 125,000 and De Laat leaned back in his chair to think about it for a bit.

Eventually he folded, and Benger quickly mucked while raking in the chips.

De Laat Doubles

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

From early position Bas de Laat made it 45,000 and he got a call from Piotr Marzejon on the button.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{4-Hearts} and De Laat checked. Marzejon bet 50,000 and De Laat called.

De Laat check called another 115,000 on the {2-Spades} turn and the {8-Spades} completed the board. De Laat checked a third time and Marzejon pushed all in. De Laat called instantly as he had back doored into the nuts holding {A-Spades}{10-Spades}. Marzejon mucked his {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} somewhat frustrated.

De Laat Busts Omeir and Ikonen

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Leandre Omeir
Leandre Omeir

Not too long ago, Bas de Laat was one of the shorter stacks in the room. He turned things around though, as he busted two players in a row and now is one of the biggest ones in the room.

Leandre Omeir shoved all in under the gun for 282,000 and Bas de Laat over shoved right next to him. [Removed:158] tanked for a bit before folding, the other players folded right away.

Leandre Omeir: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Bas de Laat: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Omeir made his exit.

Not much later, action folded to De Laat and he limped in from the small blind. Big blind Pekka Ikonen shoved for about 350,000 and De Laat instantly called.

Bas de Laat: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Pekka Ikonen: {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and De Laat knocked out Ikonen. Down to 10 now.
