We've spotted Belgian composer, pianist and singer Danny Wuyts in the upstairs area. Wuyts has many cashes at the Casino de Namur in Belgium and also a victory in a $225 Wynn tournament in Las Vegas on his poker resume.
Dutchman Stefan Swillens, a long time poker player, has been spotted in the cash game area where his tournament started. Swillens won his biggest tournament back in 2008 when he won the €440 event at the Summer Classics in Utrecht for €28,248.
We just spotted an interesting line-up on Table 29 that starts with David Janssen in seat 1. Janssen, from Belgium, has $105,340 in live tournament cashes, his biggest result being a fifth place finish at Unibet Open Riga in 2011.
Two seats over we've spotted one of the Femme Fatales of Dutch poker with Oanh Bui. Bui has live tournament cashes in seven different countries, including three cashes at the World Series of Poker. Bui finished 96th in the Ladies Event out of 1,054 players in 2010.
To Bui's left we spotted Zeus Post, a very successful regular in Holland Casino. Post won six tournaments at Holland Casino outright in the last three years, his biggest being the €1,500 Dutch Open Main Event for €48,085 in December 2013.
Jan George is the fourth player we've recognized, whose cashes at Holland Casino date back to 2007. George has $108,930 in live tournament earnings including three victories.
The board read with three players still involved and David Janssen decided to check. Jan George bet 3,300 and the player on his left, Frenchman Soufiane Messadek, raised it up to 7,000.
Janssen quickly folded and George hesitated for a bit before also letting go of his hand. George's still off to a nice start as he sits on around 35,000 chips compared to Messadek's 28,000. Janssen has 23,500 chips left.
Messadek finished 9th in the WPT500 at Aria in Las Vegas last summer where he cashed for $26,000. That tournament was ultimately won by Sean Yu who took home $260,000 in this $1,000,000 Guaranteed event that had 3,599 entries.
We just spotted two more stars of the game with Pau Berende and Mateusz Moolhuizen. Berende has $1.7 million in career live tournament earnings including a EPT High Roller final table in Monte Carlo, a Master Classic of Poker victory in Amsterdam and a WPT runner-up finish in Vienna.
Moolhuizen burst onto the scene when he won Unibet Open Malta in 2010 for €117,000 and since then he also finished runner-up in the Troia event for €56,265. Moolhuizen has nearly half a million in live tournament earnings.
One of the two Post brothers has just been knocked out in the early goings of the tournament. Freerk Post, who made a deep run in EPT Berlin in 2013 where he finished 24th, just called a raise from Emile Hijman after the two saw a flop together.
The flop brought and Hijman continued with a bet of 1,200 and Post called. On the turn the hit and Hijman bet another 2,500.
The board completed on the river with the and Hijman immediately tossed out two chips worth 5,000 each to put Post all in. Post did not hesitate and called immediately to put his tournament life at risk.
Hijman flipped open and Post tapped the table in defeat, as he hit the rail. Hijman now sits on around 45,000 chips.
