As we arrived, a pot was brewing between Luuk Gieles (small blind) and the cutoff. After the hand, Gieles told us what had happened.
The cutoff opened for 500 and Gieles had called, as did André van de Venne in the big blind. The flop of and the turn were checked through before Gieles bet out 1,200 on the river. Van de Venne folded his big blind but the initial raiser raised to 5,200. Gieles got over the top of that, making it 16,200.
The cutoff tanked for a fair bit before he eventually folded, saying "You show, I show."
"I can not show this hand," Gieles replied while mucking his hand face down.

Michiel Brummelhuis was playing around with a small tower of 5,000-chips, which prompted us to ask him in between hands how he had gotten a hold of all of those. Brummelhuis told us how he busted fellow former November Niner Jorryt van Hoof in the first level of the day.
Brummelhuis opened for 300 and found a caller in Robert Soogea. Jorryt van Hoof squeezed to 1,800 and both Brummelhuis and Soogea called.
The flop and turn were checked by all three players. The on the river made for a rainbow board with a straight readily available to all. Action checked to Van Hoof who bet 6,000.
