An update on Daan Slutter

The prize pool was announced over the loud speaker in the poker room, but Daan Slutter wasn’t paying attention.

Via PokerNews:

He found A-Ko. Another player opened the action to 825 and somebody made it 1500. Daan Slutter made it 4300 and the reraiser made the call. 235 was the flop with two diamonds. The man checked and Slutter made it 6000.

The turn brought a 8d and the opponent checked again. Slutter made it 13k because he was thinking that he wasn’t facing a set and his opponent could only call with aces, kings or queens with a queen of diamonds. His read was good while the other player folded after a couple of minutes. Daan Slutter is now playing more than 60k.

Froslev Now On Fire

Thomas wins 8K

Not long after Froslev won his first 5k pot Froslev began picking up some great hands and the two hands below helped massively increase his stack here during WSOP Main Event Day 1D:

A female player from the middle position limps, seat 10 (a very active player) raises to 600, Thomas calls in BB and the girl calls.

Flop: 6-7-9 rainbow (Thomas Exclaims: "Yes, please!!"). Everyone checks around to seat 10 who bets 700 and both Thomas and the female player calls.

Turn: J. Check around to seat 10 who bets 2100, but Thomas have had enough and raises 5500.

After some hesitation from the active player, both players end up folding.

New stack: 38.000!

A few hands later:

Thomas wins 28K

Thomas has KK:

Seat 10 limps, Thomas bets 1000, MP bets 3000 and seat 10 folds, Thomas calls.

Flop: J-10-2.

The other player bets 5.000 and Thomas is considering folding his over pair, but decides to call since the other player’s bet seemed a bit strange.

Turn: K. The other player goes all-in instantly and Thomas makes a quick call.

The river is a 4 and Thomas takes the 28K pot, and is now in 66K while the other guy is out.

Froslev Finds a hand

Thomas is in small blind and the guy in late position opens with 300. Player on the button calls and Thomas follows.

Flop shows, K-3-7 (two clubs)

Thomas checks, and the player who opened checks, but the other players bets 700. Thomas calls, the other player folds.

The pot is at 2,400.

Turn is a 2x

Thomas checks, the button bets 1400 and Thomas calls.

River is a club, and Thomas wins the pot with KQ.

Thomas is up to 33,000.

Thomas Froslev

Maal Out

Not long after our last Sijbrand Maal Update, he ran into a bad beat of sorts.

Sijbrand Maal is out. He was holding Ad-Ax when the flop was showing Kd-Jd-8d.

Maal raised the bet of his opponent and his opponent called.

The pot was around 10,000 at that time. On the turn his opponent shoved all in for 13,000 and Sijbrand made the call.

Although he had outs for the nut-flush, he was eliminated.

Sijbrand Maal Update

Quick Update:

Sijbrand Maal is relaxed and lost a bit during the first level.He’s taken only a slight hit though and is still sitting on over 26,000 and is not in a hurry because of the great structure here today.

We will keep our eye on him as the day progresses.
