Bakker Loses the Minimum

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Dutch poker aficionado Robbie Bakker told us he had pocket fives in the big blind in a limped pot. He flopped a set on {J-}{10-}{5-} and check-called a bet from an older gentleman. Bakker continued to check-call bets on the {4-}-turn and {10-}-river, only the be shown {10-}{10-} for quads. Robbie Bakker lost the minimum with his flopped set and rivered full house, and still has some fighting power left.

Duval Suffers Severe Losses

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Bracelet winner Jason Duval was already down to 1,500 in chips when we saw him playing a hand. From the big blind he checked on a {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop. All four players checked eventually and the {K-Spades} fell on the turn. The small blind, Duval in the big blind and another player checked again, but a player in late position bet 75. The small blind folded but Duval and the other player made the call. The {8-Clubs} hit the river and both players checked to the late-position better. He bet 250 this time and Duval was the only one calling. Duval had to muck as his opponent showed a flopped set of treys: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

1,966 So Far

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

1,966 players have signed up for this tournament so far. Late registration is still open for a couple more hours, so that number should get bigger.

Van Zadelhoff Off to Good Start

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

After an opponent raised up preflop, Steven van Zadelhoff defended his blind. The flop came {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Van Zadelhoff wanted to be the aggressor and led out for 350. His opponent called.

The turn came the {k-Spades}. Van Zadelhoff bet out big for 750. This bet was big enough to get his opponent off the hand. Van Zadelhoff was off to a good start with up to 5,700.

Up They Go

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

The first level is done for, the second one has just started. The players are now playing 25/50. If a player still has the starting stack of 4,500, they still have 90 big blinds this level.
