Jasper Meijer van Putten's bust out slip was handed to PokerNews, and we contacted him to find out what had happened to the defending champion.
Van Putten told us that Tsugunari Toma opened the cutoff with a raise and Boris Kolev, chip leader of the table with 400,000 at the time, called. Meijer van Putten defended his big blind with ![]()
offsuit.
The flop came ![]()
![]()
and Meijer van Putten checked. Toma bet the size of half the pot and his neighbor the chip leader raised small. Meijer van Putten shoved for 40,800, 17 big blinds. Toma folded but Kolev wasn't intending on doing the same and called with ![]()
for middle set.
Meijer van Putten hit a
on the turn to remain hopeful but a
on the river didn't help him and the Dutchman exited the tournament area.
