Play will resume shortly as we play three more 40-minute levels.
Seated to the direct left of Paul Berende we discovered our current chip leader, Ruben Blikslager. Blikslager's clearly having a great time with Berende on his right, as the two joke around and create some fun banter.
It's not hard to have a good time when your stacks adds up to around 152,000 chips in the current level though, because Blikslager is our current chip leader.

Yori Epskamp had a sweet start today, but he didn't manage to turn it into a successful deep run as Paul Berende managed to get a hold of most of his chips.
Berende recapped the action for us, as Epskamp lost a big pot with 
versus 
followed by a shove from the former from the small blind. Epskamp called the shove worth 18 big blinds holding 
and Berende's [Ax6sx] held up.
A few hands later Epskamp re-shoved pocket eights after Berende had opened the action, but that did not go so well. Berende had aces and knocked his neighbor our.
