Yori Epskamp

In the first ever €1,650 WSOP International Circuit Main Event on Dutch soil, a respectable 247 entries were made on the first two starting days. The number is expected to rise even more, as late registration will be open up until the first cards go into the air at 2 p.m. local time. 104 players already made their way to Day 2, with the majority of them sporting the home nation's red, white, and blue flag.

However, the chip lead is held by a non-Dutchie, as England's Lawrence Bayley claimed the overall Day 1 chip lead with (219,400). He's followed by Teun Mulder (177,600), Eric Sfez (155,200), and Erik Tabak (132,400). Some notables still in contention are Ioannis Angelou-Konstas (110,000), Bart Lybaert (94,200), Fatima Moreira de Melo (80,500), Farid Yachou (61,800), Jasper Meijer van Putten (60,200), Andreas Walnum (42,400), Jim Gilbert (41,800), Jimmy De Barros Livramento (25,100), and Rens Feenstra (13,800).

Day 2 will commence at 2 p.m. local time and will feature another 8 levels of 60 minutes each. Blinds will resume at 400/800 with a running ante of 100.

Gilbert Trending Up

James Gilbert at the WSOP $1,500 Bounty Final Table

One of the most accomplished players in the field today is James Gilbert. The American has over $1,3 million in lifetime winnings and is ranked 181st on the GPI ranking. Gilbert racked up six cashes at the 2017 World Series of Poker, including a 3rd place in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Bounty for $119,497.

Ironically enough, two Dutch players in the field today reached the same WSOP final table (Tobias Peters and Govert Metaal), and might meet up with Gilbert again later today.

On a board, Gilbert was facing a 13,000 bet from Niko Mykkanen. Gilbert called with and defeated Mykkanen's to move up to 85,000.
