Entries 379 / left 45
It wasn't something unthinkable given yesterday's massive turnout, rather unusual for a Thursday night, and so it was: 379 entries for Friday's morning flight is a great number considering that the peak will come tomorrow (double flight as today), not counting the Sunday morning turbo.
Forty-five people slipped chips into the envelope and it wasn't even necessary to wait until the end of the last level to do so because Day 1 C ended prematurely when 12% of the field had been reached.
Looking down on everyone was Dutchman Rens Buijs, who came third a few weeks ago at the France Poker Festival and was very hot again today given the 1.95 million chips he had put in the safe ahead of Sunday's Day2.
A sumptuous performance which we were briefed on at the closing of the envelopes:
"The day got off to a great start straight away," says Rens, "after the first few levels I already had a stack equal to three times the average. The most important spots? Well, at first I found a lot of big blinds who had a hard time believing me....
Twice I slowplayed some strong hands and set taking the most value. The best hand though is the following: I open from Co K-2s, BB defends, the flop is J-T-6 rainbow and we both check.
The turn is a 3, BB bets almost pot, I call with Kigh High, the river is a brick, he snap-pots and I call again with King High which turns out to be the best hand!"
The top 5
Second in the count by a handful of chips (1,065,000) is another Dutchman Jeffrey Kleijer (photo below), chip leader until the last three hands and author of an extraordinary performance that launches him into second place both in today's and the overall count.
In third place was Iceland's Sindri Thor Stefansson with 999,000, and two other Dutchmen closed out the top five: Yusuf Kaya with 996,000 and Evert Schuit with 951,000.
Only two Spaniards qualified in this flight: in eighth place was Valentin Ledo Sousa (629,000) and in last place was Fernando An Diaz Rullo Martin with 49,000. To conclude, the usual German invasion with 14 qualifiers out of a total of 45, as in the previous flight, was about a third of the field.
