Marc Rijnbeek
Marc Rijnbeek

Dutch Bootcamp instructor Marc Rijnbeek was playing Event #22: $1,000 Double Stack No-Limit Hold'em tournament just thirty minutes ago when he busted in a very unfortunate way. He finished in 21st position cashing for $14,149.

Rijnbeek didn't waste any time and he immediately bought into the Marathon. He enters the tournament with a fresh starting stack of 26,200 which is still over 50 big blinds at this point in the tournament.

Late registration is still available until the end of the second level on Day 2. Reentering is not possible as the tournament will be played in a freeze-out format.

Fast Doubles

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Dietrich Fast in a previous event
Dietrich Fast in a previous event

The flop read {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Dietrich Fast was put all in by another player at his table. The bet was for roughly 17,000 and Fast took his time to think it through.

He eventually got the clock called on him by another player that wasn't involved in the hand. Fast then continued to think while the floor staff was counting down his last five seconds.

He flicked in a chip one second before the clock ran out and he tabled {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} which turned out to be good against the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} of his opponent.

The board ran out with the {8-Clubs} turn and {3-Spades} river and Fast doubled up.
