Joep van den Bijgaart Eliminated
Joep van den Bijgaart was seen taking his seat on one of the cash game tables in the tournament area. Upon asking what had happened, Van den Bijgaart told us about two hands that costed him his tournament life.
First he flopped a full house with 
on 
, only to get check-raised by Wim Emo. Van den Bijgaart called and saw the board run out 
, . His flopped full house was counterfeited, Emo played 
and started stacking the chips.
In Van den Bijgaart's last hand, he called from the big blind with 
after a raise and a call. All three of them checked on 
rainbow. The 
on the turn made Van den Bijgaart bet out 3,200. One of his opponents made it 10,000 and Van den Bijgaart called with his open-ended and the nut flush blocker, with the plan of bluffing spades and of course the eights and kings as outs. The 
hit the river and Van den Bijgaart shoved. Unfortunately for Van den Bijgaart, his opponent had and called, and Van den Bijgaart's bluff failed.
Van den Bijgaart already has a ticket for tomorrows Day 1b, but he wasn't sure yet he would be playing, as the prospect of playing 50/100 all over again didn't make him feel too warm inside.
