MONSTER vs MONSTER OFF COURSE

And the first decent hand I saw today.

Geert Ceulemans had to make the final call preflop after some betting and raising action. We can tell this will be monster battle:

AA (Geert) vs QQ (vilain)

The board turns out: 4 K 4 6 3

Geert sees his chips growing with about 15k extra ! Just checked with him and he guesses to play a 50 k stack now. Most definately our first real chipleader of the day.

A GERMAN IN A 3-WAY ALLIN POT / BERT NEELS FLOPS GOOD

First we see Bert Neels take a man down.
His opponent is all-in for something like 10k on a 9872 board. And Bert Neels makes a snapcall pushing a third player out of the way. Bert flopped a set of 8"s while his adversary stays behind with aces. Jack on the river and Bert is working his way towards day 2.

Matthias Liese from Germany is encountering a 3-way all-in involving our own Tom Deschuytter:
Matthias:
Tom: As
Player 3: Th

The board reads at that moment: Td
Turn comes with the
River makes Matthias very happy and Tom unhappy with the

Matthias also going steady moving towards Sunday

SHAKING HEADS

Rob and Joachim are both shaking their heads after a strange fold so it seems. Joachim comes to tell me that one of the player"s put"s ink on the river and decides to fold after a reraise.... They were not involved though.

Heide Croonenborghs is one happy women. She just doubled her stack to a little over 5k with 33 vs AKo The board ran to a straight for Heidi on the river but in fact she didn"t even needed the straight to win the pot.

It"s an Ace Of Spades reunion at their table since  Niki "Vegas" Raskin and Nick Stas are sitting at her table.

[Quadran666 (Christoff Apat.be)]

FLOP TURN RIVER

Improving on every street is nice must Ivo schoofs think.

We see him reraise the river to 7.5k after a 2k bet an on a 89T 5 5 board.

His opponent does call after a few seconds and muck when looking at Ivo"s 85o.

[Quadran666 (Christoff Apat.be)]

INTERESTING RESEATING

8 mins before the dinner break at level 200/400 A 50 and a pleasent reseat for Niki Raskin.

Although pleasent ....?

They"ve put him, as our Plyer Of The Year leaderboardranking leader next to the numbers 5 and 6 in the ranking.
In consecutive order: Bert Neels (5th and 59 pts) - Matthias Vancompernolle (6th and 52 pts) and Niki Raskin (1st and 74 pts)

This could be an interesting reseating !!!

50 our of 71 player"s left.



We didn"t knew what to expect from this starting day and hoped for a field of 75 players and we might make it. 50 out of 71 left.

IVO SCHOOFS DOMINATING HIS TABLE

He"s involved in many pots and this times he wakes up with pocket kings when 2 players are all in.

Tom Deschuytter show AQ and Nick Stas has JJ.

It"s all over on the turn when a 4th heart is revealed, with Ivo holding the only heart in the showdown.

He roughly plays 80k and he"ll probably be our dinner break chip leader.

2 minutes to play before we go on a 1-hour break

[DodgyEnd (Tom APAT.be)]

3 more hands before the break; late registration will last throughout the dinner break.

72 players for the moment, 49 left

Avg 22.040
Next level is 250-500/a50

[Quadran666 (Christoff Apat.be)]

ONE OUTER FOR PATJE DE CLEENE

One of the first hands after the dinner break at 250/500 A:50

QQ vs AQ

An ace on the flop but a Queen on the river saves his soul for now.

Keep it up Patrick !
