Jan lost a big pot to Williams and was down to under 2k chips with no more rebuys.
Jan raised Q:h J:s T:d 2:h from BU and Williams 3-bet from SB with A:s A:d K:h 6:s. Jan called.

The addons have to be taken by the end of the break so there are no more rebuy chips in play.
Bokkie said he played 6 big pots in a row. First, he was up to 25k but lost a big pot with A:d J:d T:h 9:h.
They got it all in on 8 4 3 ♦
and villain had K:dx:d 8 x. Villain's 8s held up.
-------------------
He then got it in again on a Q T 2 flop against the same villain. Q T x x vs A Q x x. villain had the nut flush draw but Bokkie's flopped top two held.
After that, he picked up two 5k pots preflop by potting it.
---------------------
Finally, he would've been one of the chip leaders if he scooped this 3 way all in pot against David Williams and the villain from the hands above, but ending up only winning the side pot of about 500 chips.
A A x x vs K K x x vs 5 6 8 9 preflop all in
The board came out Q 9 7 3 8 to give villain a straight. Bokkie had them both covered and Williams just had the other villain covered so Williams went busto and Bokkie just won the 500 chip side pot.
Nazgul meanwhile has German high staked PLO pro Ronny Kaiser on his table now after Nazgul busted the Japanese High Roller who was on that seat to pick up a roughly 20k pot.

swordfish007 busto
FA_Morgoth ??
swordfish007 was busted out by durrrr. EP raises, one call, durrr calls, swordfish007 goes all in for 4.25k, raiser folds, another goes all in, durrrr calls
A:s 4:d Q:c T:c vs Q:h Q:s 2:h 9:s and durrrr had K:s 7:s J:d 4:d
durrrr hit the diamond flush and scored the double knockout.
Bokkie knocked out Sammy Farha (I said Freddy Deeb earlier, but it's Farha)
From PokerNews:
On a flop of 3:s 2:d 5:c, the player in the big blind bet 1,300 and received a call from a middle-position opponent. Sammy Farha then moved all in from the button for 4,125, which both his opponents called.
"I don't know why, I'm feeling lucky," Farha said. Both active players checked the turn 6:h and T:d river, prompting Farha to show pocket sixes for a set ,which beat the middle-position player's ; however, it was no good against the wheel of the big blind.
*Big Blind= Bokkie
psychobenny busted Daniel Negreanu
From PokerNews:
Daniel Negreanu got it all in for his last 17,000 or so (he put 10,000 in preflop as well) on a flop of T:d 2:d 5:c with K K J 5 against the 9:h 5:d 4:d J:h of Benjamin Spindler. The turn 6:d was the and that's all she wrote for Negreanu.

BongBob busto
Jason Mercier is running sick good. He was sitting right behind BongBob and he was telling his friends how he knocked out 3 players in one hand, despite getting it 4-way all in with 4% equity. He had a pair and a backdoor flush draw, and his opponents each had top set, middle set and a wrap. He hit his flush daw.
BongBob went out in a 3 way all in. BongBob raise, another shortie called, big stacks raises putting both the shorties all in, BongBob calls and the other shortie called.
A Q T 9 vs J 8 9 6 vs K K T 6, the big stack's kings held up on a 3:c 7:s 6:s 4:d K:c board.
On Bokkie's table, only he and fellow Dutchman Vincent Van Der Fluit remain from the original 6 players at the table. Between the two of them, they have busted 8 players.

Vincent Van Der Fluit

Not too many remaining in this event. You can see Bokkie and Nazgul in the foreground of the pic
