You Can Feel The Buzz
Dealers, floor staff, poker players, fans and reporters all feel that the atmosphere at this event is a little different from the usual tournaments at Holland Casino.
The first ever World Poker Tour National Event is a great step forward for poker in the Netherlands and so far it's been very well received. While late entrants are still making their way into the tournament area as the clock reads 203 players big pots are being played left and right.
The Dutch aren't afraid to get their chips into the middle, and Holland Casino's year round series make it so that most of the field knows what it takes to do well in a poker tournament.
The €500 buy in doesn't reflect the vibe inside the casino, because while a new millionaire will not be found here this weekend it's clearly a step towards ultimately having an event like this in the Netherlands.
