WSOP Bracelet Winner Rob Hollink Eliminated

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Rob Hollink - Winner 2008 WSOP Event #30
Rob Hollink - Winner 2008 WSOP Event #30

Dutch Poker Hall of Famer Rob Hollink has been eliminated from the tournament by Freek Scholten. In 2008, Hollink became the first Dutchman to capture a WSOP bracelet. Hollink conquered the $10,000 Limit Hold'em World Championship for $496,931 to win his first-ever bracelet.

In Holland Casino, host of the WSOP Circuit Event, Hollink has found his share of success as well. Back in May, Hollink won the WPT High Roller in Holland Casino Amsterdam, adding another €117,500 to his lifetime winnings of over $3,5 million dollar.

In Hollink's final hand, he opened from under the gun and Freek Scholten defended his small blind. The flop was {9-}{7-}{5-} with two hearts, and Hollink bet 9,000. Scholten check-raised to 24,000, Hollink pushed around 85,000, and Scholten called.

Rob Hollink: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Freek Scholten: {9-}{9-}

Scholten held a commanding lead with his set of nines and eliminated Hollink after the {J-} turn and {Q-} river.

Wojtas Doubles Up

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

One of the few international players in the field is Jakub Wojtas. The German, who cashed in the Crazy $888 event at the World Series of Poker last summer, was down to his last 9,500.

When Hakim Zoufri had opened to 4,200 and Mounir Kachradi had called, Wojtas got his last few blinds in. Zoufri reshoved all in, prompting Kachradi to fold {A-}{8-}.

Jakub Wojtas: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Hakim Zoufri: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Wojtas flopped a mortal lock on the hand when the dealer spread out {K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

"I would've won!" exclaimed Kachradi, before realizing there was also a king on the flop.

The {5-Diamonds} turn and {2-Spades} river were merely a formality and Wojtas more than doubled.

Neither {4-Hearts} turn and {2-Clubs} river helped Van den Bijgaart, and he was eliminated.
