It would be nice to see a other Dutch player at the final table, but time will tell.
Some updates from day 1a
William Kakon Usa have the chiplead at 152 325
Patrik Leonard , coach at english community out
Gabriel Nassif coach at French community 17 775
Fedor Holz crownupguy 117 800
6,420 ffs.
I bet on a field of 6,101-6,400 at 5/1 and a field of 6,401-6,800 at 11/4. Both insanely good bets and I've won money but those last 20 people who registered cost me over €150.
here we go again , after day 3 now we are in the money and 661 players left, chipleader is Amar Amand from Usa with a nice stack at 1 139 000,
Fedor Holz is running great and ended day 3 with 994 000 and is atm top5,
Kenny Hallaert bagged a stack at 389 000,
Still alot of pro names in the field like Negreanu, Hellmuth, Bonomo, Esfandari, Laak, Hachem that is trying to win again 10 years after his win.
Will there be some unknown to win or will the pro players get the win again this year?
Two levels of Day 4 are in the books and we still have some high flyers from previous years still in the mix.
Do you think any can repeat their former heroics?
Only 1 Dutch player left. That is Marco van Opzeeland with 774,000 chips.
It looks like the Belgium players doing it a lot better on the moment. Here the chip counts of them:
Kenny Hallaert 1,451,000
Matthias De Meulder 1,272,000
Pierre Neuville 956,000
End of day 4, 237 players left every player left is now guranteed 34 157$.
Chipleader is now Joseph Mckeehen Usa with a chipcount at 3 122 000,
pokerstrategy players still in (maybe i missed some PS) is
Kenny Hallaert with 1451 000
Fedor Holz with 403 000

as i am a swede i have to say 5 Swedes are still in 
was also a new record for this main event, William Watcher a 2 world war veteran got the oldest person to cash , this 94 year old man finsihed in 524th place, impressive, can you imagine your self playing poker 94 years old? i cant....
day 5 started, forgot to wrote that 1 former main event winner is still in with a chance to win and that is winner from 1993 Jim Bichtel that started today play with 1 125 000,
A Raft of eliminations today as the field diminishes towards the last hundred (currently 118).
Some notable eliminations today include Jan Eric Schwippert, Mem Nguyen, Christian Harder, Antonio Esfandiari, Matthias De Meulder, John Racener, Andrew Hinrichsen, Matt Glantz, Jarrad Jaffee, Kenny Hallaert ( 
) and Jim Bechtel.
Current notable stacks include Brian Hayestings (oops Hastings 
), 4m (2nd), Justin Bonomo 3.25m (9th) and Fedor Holz 3m (11th),
Pierre Neuville is also going well with 5 million chips on the moment. Would be nice for the Belgium rail fans if he reached the Final Table. There is still 1 Dutch guy in the tournament and that's Marco van Opzeeland with 925k on the moment.

We will see. He lost almost 2 million chips to Neuville almost a half hour ago.

Do you guys know how to watch it streaming?
Unfortunately ESPN have blanket rights over coverage of the main event. They will package up all the highlights and run them weekly in the lead up to November Final Table showdown.
