Joep van den Bijgaart was seen taking his seat on one of the cash game tables in the tournament area. Upon asking what had happened, Van den Bijgaart told us about two hands that costed him his tournament life.
First he flopped a full house with 
on 
, only to get check-raised by Wim Emo. Van den Bijgaart called and saw the board run out 
, . His flopped full house was counterfeited, Emo played 
and started stacking the chips.
In Van den Bijgaart's last hand, he called from the big blind with 
after a raise and a call. All three of them checked on 
rainbow. The 
on the turn made Van den Bijgaart bet out 3,200. One of his opponents made it 10,000 and Van den Bijgaart called with his open-ended and the nut flush blocker, with the plan of bluffing spades and of course the eights and kings as outs. The 
hit the river and Van den Bijgaart shoved. Unfortunately for Van den Bijgaart, his opponent had and called, and Van den Bijgaart's bluff failed.
Van den Bijgaart already has a ticket for tomorrows Day 1b, but he wasn't sure yet he would be playing, as the prospect of playing 50/100 all over again didn't make him feel too warm inside.

Dominik Nitsche shoved from the hijack for 11,100. Two positions down the player on the button made the call, both small blind Jochum Weenink and big blind Yevgeniy Timoshenko folded.
The button sighed when he saw Nitsche's hand, mistaking the Germans 
for pocket aces. He himself showed 
and soon enough found out his kings were good:

A huge hand just went down that ended up going several minutes into the break. At the completion of the hand it was the winner, Monty Albadawi, who explained to us what happened.
A player raised to 1,400 after which Ludovic Geilich three-bet from his immediate left to 4,600. Monty Albadawi called from the big blind and the initial raiser folded.
The flop brought out 
and Albadawi checked to Geilich who bet 4,500 and Albadawi called.
The turn was the and both players checked. On the river the 
completed the board and Albadawi lead out for 9,800. Geilich raised it up to 38,900 and Albadawi responded by moving all in for 78,675.
Geilich went into the tank for well over seven minutes, while he constantly talked to himself.
"I didn't expect you to do that, you should have a big hand here but I have something too," Geilich said.
Another couple of minutes went by and Geilich added, "I've never been in the tank for this long."
In the end Albadawi called the clock on his opponent, and Geilich called in the dying seconds.
Albadawi showed 
for a full house and that was good against Geilich's . Albadawi is now the chip leader while Geilich was left with very little chips.

Bryn Kenney has been knocked out again, as Andrew Chen told us what went down. Kenney lost a sequence of pots before getting his last 10,000 chips into the pot with pocket jacks against ace-queen.
Kenney has been knocked out twice today, but he will quite possibly be back for more tomorrow.
