We just almost missed another elimination, but Pim van Wieringen was kind enough to inform of us the action.
Ronald Keijzer just raised before the flop and Stieven Razab-Sekh defended from the small blind. The flop came down and both players checked. On the turn the hit and Razab-Sekh lead out for 85,000 and Keijzer called.
The river brought the and Razab-Sekh moved all in for just short of 300,000 chips. Keijzer called and Razab-Sekh showed , but that was not enough against Keijzer's for a bigger two pair.
Peter Gutker has just been knocked out and he was kind enough to share with us that hand that ended his tournament. Niels van Leeuwen raised to 44,000 under the gun plus two and Gutker called from his immediate left.
The other players folded and the flop brought out on which both players checked. The turn was a and Van Leeuwen checked again after which Gutker bet 55,000. The chip leader called and on the river another popped up.
Van Leeuwen checked a third time and Gutker bet 100,000. Van Leeuwen check-raised all in and Gutker tanked for a long time before calling off an additional 314,000 chips. Gutter showed but that was no good against Van Leeuwen's .
The action folded around to Niels van Leeuwen in the small blind and he moved all in to put pressure on Sandro Pitzanti in the big blind. Pitzanti quickly called all in for 582,000 chips and this huge showdown went as following.
Pitzanti:
Van Leeuwen:
The board ran out and a seven on the turn gave Van Leeuwen a winning pair and Pitzanti hit the rail in this pot that could've given him a big chance to make it into the top payouts of this event.
Pim van Wieringen raised from the button and Zeus Post opted to push all in from the big blind. Van Wieringen gave it some thought before ultimately making the call.
A huge hand just played out on the feature table as three players decided to shove all their chips into the middle. Rolf Weisshaupt moved all in under the gun for 318,000 followed by a shove from Thomas Brader for 802,000 from the cutoff and 595,000 by Joep van den Bijgaart from the button. Both blinds folded and the showdown went as following.
Weisshaupt:
Brader:
Van den Bijgaart:
The board ran out and Van den Bijgaart raked in one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far!
We are down to our final table of 10 and that means it's time for a complete redraw. Play will continue shortly and we will be right back with that redraw and the final table chip counts.
This title is the most unlike one we've written all day, as Niels van Leeuwen has been on a tear up until this point. Van Leeuwen just raised and called Tran's shove for 331,000 chips and the showdown went as following.
Van Leeuwen:
Tran:
The board ran out and while players joked that Van Leeuwen couldn't lose the pot was shipped to Tran. Tran's now sitting a lot more comfortable but Van Leeuwen still has a very commanding chip lead with 10 players remaining.
