Welcome to Day 2 of the €3,500 High Roller

Milko van Winden

Day 2 of the €3,500 High Roller of the 2018 WSOP International Circuit Holland Casino Rotterdam is about to kick-off at 1 p.m. local time. The tournament ended up with 30 entries yesterday of which 17 players made it to Day 2. Registration is still open until the start of the second and final day of the tournament.

Clyde Tjauw Foe will start the day with the biggest stack. Tjauw Foe managed to bag 168,000 on Day 1. He is closely followed by Haci Bayram from Denmark, who bagged 161,100. Michal Mrakes brings the third biggest stack to Day 2 after he bagged 137,500 yesterday. Other players that made it through to Day 2 include WSOPE bracelet winner Albert Hoekendijk (132,200), bracelet winner Ronald Keijzer (84,600), and Canadian double bracelet winner Mark Radoja (75,000).

Players that didn’t make it through to Day 2 include defending champion Hakim Zoufri, Tobias Peters, Luuk Gieles, and Marijn van Puffelen. Van Puffelen busted out of the tournament with only 30 minutes left on Day 1 to eventual chip leader Tjauw Foe with pocket eights against pocket aces.

Halfway through the fourth level of the day on Day 1, the first level with antes, the players all agreed on playing with a big blind ante instead of a running ante. The tournament staff listened to the players and after asking every player if they agreed with it they changed to structure of the tournament to be played out with a big blind ante.

The seat draw of the tournament will be available at the start of Day 2, as soon as the registration has closed. PokerNews will be at the tournament from start to finish until a winner is crowned and another WSOPC ring is awarded in Rotterdam.
