In a pot that already saw some action preflop, P. Chen was in the big blind and checked to Jacco van Hooren, who bet 4,500 on a 
flop. Chen check-called the bet before both players checked the 
on the turn.
On the 
river, Chen checked, Van Hooren bet 6,000 and Chen called.
Van Hooren showed 
for the rivered pair of aces and Chen mucked.
On a 
flop, Bartel Kars bet 5,500 from the cutoff and Erik Tabak called on the button. Karl Otter check-raised all in from the hijack, for close to 19,000, Kars snap-folded and Tabak instantly released as well.
Otter flung 
open for the flopped nut flush and stacked up quite nicely in the process. For Kars, it's been a terrible first hour as the MCOP side-event winner has slipped below the 10k mark already.
