Vanderbeek Runs into Kings

Calum Grant

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mark Vanderbeek opened to 9,000 from under the gun before local player Adam Wagner made it 27,000 from the next seat over.

Wagner won €271,660 in this very room after finishing fifth in another major tournament in 2023.

"I will show you," Wagner said as Vanderbeek thought. Upon hearing this, Vanderbeek jammed for around 150,000 and was snap-called.

Mark Vanderbeek: A♦K♠ All in
Adam Wagner: K♦K♣

Vanderbeek couldn't connect on the J♠4♥3♥9♠5♠ runout and was eliminated.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Niklas Astedt under the gun jammed for 20,500. "All-in everyone," he joked as Pawel Wojciechowski in the hijack called. Nicola Marxer in the big blind seemed tempted to call but said he folded Ax6x. "Oh, bad news for me," Astedt answered.

Niklas Astedt: A♥10♣ All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: 9♦9♥

Elimination was close for Astedt on 8♠10♦6♦2♠, but he was lucky enough to hit the A♠ river to double up.

Steven Jones raised to 9,000 from the small blind and called when Jasper van Putten made it 26,000 from the big blind.

Jones check-folded to a bet of 21,000 on the 6♥4♦2♥ flop.

Jones showed the A♠, and Van Putten also flashed the A♦. Jones queried whether he was going to get a fold if he jammed, but Van Putten said he was calling.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action was picked up on a board of 10♥10♠J♦8♦2♠ with approximately 75,000 in the pot. Odysseas Athanasiadis in the big blind jammed for 85,000 and Biao Ding in middle position went deep into the tank.

Ding eventually made the call with queens but Athanasiadis flopped a boat with J♥10♣ and doubled up.
