Best of luck to everyone else over there!
JvdB Arrives
We have another Team PokerStars Pro in the house!
Joep van den Bijgaart landed around an hour ago, and came here straight from the airport. That's dedication, right there.
He brings the count for Team Pro: Netherlands to three in this event.
Mizzing a Trick
Sorel Mizzi has taken a bit of a hit after raising in early position. The gent to his left reraised and a third player called behind; Mizzi flatted too, and they saw a flop.
The flop came down 
and Mizzi checked. The preflop reraiser bet, and both players called, sending them still three-way to the turn.
The turn was the 
and Mizzi checked again. Mr. Preflop Reraiser bet once more and this time the third player folded. Mizzi called though, and they saw the river.
The river was another club, this time the 
putting a potential straight flush on the board. Mizzi bet out and his opponent - expressing his fear of the straight flush with a sigh - made the call.
He had nothing to worry about.
Mizzi turned over 
for the king-high flush, and his relieved opponent tabled 
for the ace-high flush. With that, Mizzi was reduced to 3,200.
Big Pot Fizzles Out
Just as players were dispersing for the break, a meaty hand unfolded on one of the far tables. With around 2-3,000 in the pot, a raising war took place on a flop of 
, only for everyone to check round on the 
turn.
The 
river, however, was a different story as the small blind led for 150 and Marco Traniello raised to 300. The next player along shook his head, before rising from his seat and showing his hand to a member of the rail. "What was that hand," requested the initial bettor. "Pocket kings," replied Traniello who'd caught an unintentional glimpse. But in the end, it made little difference as the player relinquished his hand, thus allowing Traniello to pick up a big pot uncontested.

Going Dwan Town
I joined the action with the board reading 
. Tom Dwan bet 100; his opponent called. The turn was the 
, and Dwan bet 200 with a limp wrist and a tired expression you'd expect from someone who'd played a billion hands. Again, a call. On the 
river, Dwan's opponent checked, and, Dwan, for the third time, trickled two chips onto the felt. On this occasion, however, his foe released his hand, allowing Dwan to climb to 4,800 in chips.
