Abdellatif Hands Over his Chips to the Dutch
Jonathan Abdellatif's chair was vacant and it turned out the Dutch players at the table were to blame.
Ruben Visser told us that Luuk Gieles, who sat down with a fresh 30,000 in chips after the dinner break, opened for 1,250. One player called and Jonathan Abdellatif in the big blind called as well. Abdellatif checked to Gieles on 
with two diamonds and the young Dutch player bet 1,800. The first player folded, Abdellatif made the call.
Abdellatif check called another 4,200 on the off suit -turn and check called 16,500 on the 
-river. Gieles showed for a flopped set and turned full house and Abdellatif mucked.
Abdellatif was left with 5,000 which he would lose the next hand. The button opened, Abdellatif shoved from the small blind, and big blind Ruben Visser reshoved from the big blind. The button folded and Visser tabled 
to Abdellatif's 
suited. The flop was good for Abdellatif with 
, but the 
-turn in combination with the on the river spelled doom for the Belgian.
On our way back to the media room to report on these hands, we also saw Pierre Neuville walking to the elevator. We expect he wouldn't be so calm if he had chips left, so we assume he's been eliminated.
