Rico Verhoeven Knock-Out

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Rico Verhoeven
Rico Verhoeven

Kickboxing world heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven has been eliminated from the €1,650 WSOP International Circuit Main Event. Verhoeven was off to a strong start and hung around the top of the leaderboard for most of the day. Two big hands in level 7, however, spelled the end for the King of Kickboxing.

Verhoeven lost a decent part of his stack in the first hand, where he moved in with {J-}{10-} on a {9-}{8-}{2-} board. Verhoeven bricked on turn and river to end up with a mere jack-high, and he had to part with most of his chips.

On the ropes, Verhoeven tried to get back into it by shoving {A-}{9-}, only to run into the {A-}{K-} of one of his tablemates. Verhoeven didn't improve, ending the WSOPC Rotterdam Ambassador's run in this tournament.

Stepanian Makes A Big Call

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Wladimir Stepanian
Wladimir Stepanian

With the board completed at {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Dwayne Sluis checked to Wladimir Stepanian, who bet 16,300. Sluys responded by check-raising all in, and he covered Stepanian. It was 20,000 more to call for the well-respected hometown player, who has won three Holland Casino Rotterdam Main Events in previous years.

Stepanian spent over five minutes in the tank before calling off the remainder of his stack.

Dwayne Sluys: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}
Wladimir Stepanian: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

Sluys had turned top pair into a bluff but wasn't able to fold out Stepanian's kings. With the big call, the Rotterdam local surged to 75,000.

Tekle Mariam Triples Up; Wetemans Survives

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Jasper Wetemans
Jasper Wetemans

With around 5,600 in the pot, four players saw a {6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop together at the feature table. First to act was Henok Tekle Mariam, who open-shoved 9,125 from the big blind. Rico Verhoeven folded, Jasper Wetemans reshoved for 17,000, and Erik Tabak snap-called to put two players at risk.

Henok Tekle Mariam: {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Jasper Wetemans: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Erik Tabak: {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Wetemans held a slight lead with his pair of jacks but needed to fade a lot of cards to win it all. The {Q-Hearts} on the turn improved Tekle Mariam to the nut straight, and the {Q-Spades} river sealed it for him. Wetemans won the side pot from Tabak, who bricked all his outs.
