Finale Table Master Classics Amsterdam

Joris finished 8th and go home with 47,080 euros.

After the quick elimination of Tony Bloom, Joris was the shortest stack of the table.

On blinds 10k/20k antes 2k, he tried to steal the blinds once again with QJ diamonds and fall against black Aces of Mike Martin.

A Queen on the flop and a straight draw but nothing came on the river to improve his game.

All the audience around the TV table acclaims him but Joris was so disapointed. He wanted to win at home...

Very good performance for our player, usually cash game players on the highest limit of Everest Poker.

We will see him again very soon.

Very good game Joris!!!

The results of the Finale Table:

1/ Trond Eidsvig 620,000€
2/ Michael Martin 368,000€
3/ Tristan McDonald 216,140€
4/ Noah Boeken 139,100€
5/ Mikael Norinder 111,280€
6/ Eric Larcheveque 87,740€
7/ Christian Grundtvig 66,340€
8/ Joris Jaspers 47,080€
9/ Tony Bloom 34,240€

Trond Eidsvig, the winner

He arrived on the TV table with 20,000 chips and went out with more than 160,000.

The bubble play was good for him because he's got now 219k, still short stack, but not the shortest.

The 9 finalists are:

Seat 1: Noah Boeken 219k,
Seat 2: Mike Martin 819,
Seat 3: Trond Eidsvig 1062k,

Master Classics Amsterdam- Day 2

7 players was on the starting line up of this day 2.
Dutch:

Oosterom, 18400.

Kurstjens 1525.

Jaspers, 38700.
French:

Martin, 11525.

Fortunat, 16750.
Swiss:

Zimmerman, 16125 (second time mcop qualifier with us).
Italian:

Lascialfari, 10425.

The average was already high and they had to fight to survive. Unfortunatly the day wasn't so good for them and they are almost all out.

Only Joris Jaspers (FATIMA1956) is still here at the end of the day.

With only 23,800 chips and an average around 70,000 it will be difficult for him but not impossible to get into the money.

He lost 45th in London EPT for the first 32 in the money.

We all hope that he will do it now!!!
