Yesterday was not an extremely successful day, judging by the number of flemish players who already bit the dust.
Jurgen Janssens faced KK when holding 33 in the last hand he played, while Jimmy "Knot_be" Praet really got coolered, getting his 16k stack all-in preflop with Aces, against a guy with AK. Queen high flop, turn jack, river ten ... exit Jimmy. Also Dislexik and Big Rounder 99 were elminated from the tournament, after never really getting good action with their good hands.
This leaves us with ... Johan "Bear" Bastiaens. With about 11k in chips, he's at the bottom of the 85 guys who make it to day 2. At least he's still in. However, he's not exactly "short" as the last level was 200/400, so the next one, on day 2, will probably be 300/600, still leaving him with almost 20 big blinds. I've seen him comeback from worse. Malik "demalik" Lecompte, also a pokerclub.be regular, finished day one, with a healthier stack of 31k.
It's interesting to note that 19 players from pokerclub.be are playing the tournament. Probably there are more participants from some of the Walloon communities, but PCB is definitely still the biggest flemish poker community.
Today, I'm on the lookout for these guys, and hoping to bring you some good news about them on the rail radio show.
