Dan Heimiller just got knocked out by Rob Young and he told us what went down.
"I had pocket fours, and I went up against Rob Young from Dusk Till Dawn, who had ace-nine."
"Hit spiked the ace on the turn," Heimiller said, before leaving the tournament area.
Heimiller will now venture out into Amsterdam, as we was enquiring about food festivals, beer gardens and other events in the city.

Alexey Pak raised it to 1,300 under the gun and Pieter de Korver made the call in position. Niels van Leeuwen on the button squeezed to 4,400 and the small blind folded. Big blind Nico Kuan tanked for a fair bit, before shoving all in for 41,500. Pak and De Korver folded, and Van Leeuwen asked to see how much it was. Even before the dealer really started counting, Van Leeuwen said "Yeah, never mind, I'll call anyway."
Nico Kuan: 
Niels van Leeuwen: 
The board ran out 
and Nico Kuan doubled, leaving Van Leeuwen behind with just 3,800. With 75 for the ante, the next hand action folded to Van Leeuwen in the small blind and he glanced at his cards before announcing "Yeah, let's just do it" as he moved in.
Rob Yong on the button folded but Kuan was interested again. Kuan three-bet to 8,000 and Pak folded his big blind. "Yeah, you can take the rest as well" Van Leeuwen said with a sincere voice.
Nico Kuan: 
Niels van Leeuwen: 
The board ran out 
and Van Leeuwen wished the table good luck before making his exit. With the departure of Van Leeuwen, the only Dutch World Poker Tour National champion is out of the tournament. He still has the option to re enter, but we doubt he's going to at this point.

Pieter de Korver just told one of our colleagues how he took most of Yann Dion's chips, and here's how the action went.
Dion raise before the flop and De Korver three-bet holding pocket queens. The flop came down

De Korver called and the turn was another . Both players checked and the river was another 
.
Dion bet 11,500 on the river and De Korver raised it up to 30,000 with his full house, and Dion made the call. Dion mucked his cards, but a

A few hands later Dion busted while De Korver sits on 128,000 chips.
