Van Hoof Rise Continues

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Jorryt van Hoof has continued his climb at the top of the chip counts after he eliminated David Mezei.

The two players got all their chips in the middle preflop and Mezei held {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} with Van Hoof looking down at {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Van Hoof hit a flush to win the pot.

Mezei has since reentered with Van Hoof now sitting on 217,000.

Dany Chidiac was playing from under the gun, and a pot had brewed to 50,000 preflop between him and Laszlo Bujtas, who was in the cutoff.

The flop fell {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}, and Chidiac moved all in for close to pot which Bujtas called.

Chidiac tabled {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs} for two pair as well as plenty of draws, with Bujtas showing {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

The turn fell the {9-Hearts} to put Bujtas into an immediate lead, and the {3-Diamonds} on the river secured him the pot.

Bujtas is now up to 115,000 having sat down in the event just moments ago, with Dany Chidiac who was one of the original seven reduced to 17,000.

Astedt Eliminated by Van Hoof

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 0 ante
Niklas Astedt

Three players went to a {9-Clubs}{a-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop with the pot already escalated to a huge 75,000.

Niklas Astedt was first to ace and moved all in for around 25,000 before Jorryt van Hoof made a quick call.

"I can now reveal I did not realize there was a raise before me preflop, but I was too tilted to fold" admitted Alexander Petersen while slowly peaking at his hand before he folded.

Astedt tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{k-Spades} for top set with Van Hoof holding {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a flush draw as well as a straight draw.

The turn {q-Hearts} gave Van Hoff the straight to take the lead, and he cemented the pot by hitting a flush on the {3-Clubs} river.

Astedt departs for the second and final time today.
