Day 1 Live Updates

Bart Wetsteijn Wheeled Out (Fifth) 2 years ago

Jack Hinchey is dealt Ad 4d and bets $16,000. Bart Wetsteijn looks down to find Ks Kc and decides to try and trap by flat-calling.

The flop comes an incredible 5c 3s 2s, which gives Hinchey the wheel straight. Hinchey bets $30,000 and Wetsteijn comes over the top by pushing all-in. Hinchey insta-calls and Wetsteijn is stunned as the players reveal their cards.

The board finishes 3d and then Js. Wetsteijn is our fifth-place finisher and will receive $120,000 for his efforts. It will probably be a long while before Wetsteijn slow-plays kings again.

Piotr Stanislaw goes all-in from the big blind and Jack Hinchey makes another aggressive call. The players reveal their hands:

Stanislaw: Qh Qs

Hinchey: As Jc

The boad comes Qc 5h 3s 6h Ac and Stanislaw's set of ladies is good enough to take the pot. The kid from Poland is stacking up just as Hinchey appears poised for a downswing.

Dutch Man Down! - Bert van Doesburg Eliminated (Sixth) 2 years ago

The board came 8d 10c 3c 10h Qs and that was all she wrote for the Dutch man. Stay tuned to see if anyone can stand between Hinchey and first place.

Michael Lawson - Canada 2 years ago

Michael Lawson, making up the second half of the Canadian contingent here in Spain, is a 21-year-old who has made it all the way here from a $20 satellite buy-in on Pacific Poker. Naming Norwegian phenom Annette Obrestad as both a coach and a friend, Lawson has had the instruction. We'll just have to wait and see if he can put that knowledge into practice.

Stanislaw Times Two (A Second Time) 2 years ago

Piotr Stanislaw has come back from the dead with yet another double-up, this time at the expense of a very suspect call from chip leader Jack Hinchey. With blinds of $4k/$8k Stanislaw was sitting with less than 10 big blinds and shoved under the gun for around $70,000.

It was folded to Hinchey in the small blind, who looked down at 2c 2s. He gave it some thought before announcing call. The big blind released and Stanislaw tabled 6s 6c, which were in great shape.

The board ran Jc 9h 5c Ad 4d and the sixes are good for the double. Stanislaw is now on $146,000, good for third position in the chip counts.
