Kevin Mathers, to most simply known by his online nickname "Kevmath" as the ultimate source for all things poker on social media, also busted shortly after. He got it in with the and Richard O'Neill dealt the final blow with . O'Neill flopped a queen and Mathers missed out on a gutshot to bust just before the blinds went up.

Kron Bests Van Brabander

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Julien Kron made it 6,000 to go from the cutoff and Charlotte van Brabander three-bet all in for her last 34,000 in the small blind, which Kron quickly called when it was his turn to act.

CharlotteVan Brabander:
Julien Kron:

The Belgian was ahead preflop but fell behind on the flop, and things got worse on the turn. Only two aces were left for Van Brabander, and the river was the blank . Van Brabander will likely enter the €80+10 Queen Rules Side Event shortly, a Ladies Event hosted by Unibet Poker ambassador Daiva Byrne. So far, there are three tables running with a total of 25 entries.
