Some players have already been eliminated from the tournament. The late registration and reentry period is still open for the next 70 minutes so we might see some of these players reenter the tournament.

We walked to the other room to check up on the man of the tournament Lex Veldhuis and he immediately wanted to tell about a hand he played against Benjamin 'Spraggy' Spragg.
''Spraggy opened to 1,500 and another player called. I three-bet to 6,000 and Spraggy called me. The other guy folded. The flop came queen-eight-five with one heart and I fired a bet of 5,500. He called again and the turn was another queen. This time I bet 17,000 and he folded so I showed him jack-four.''
Spraggy then added: ''I played king-jack of hearts by the way and I played that hand 200% more reasonable than he did''.
The table laughed as a small rail of people from Lex' community gathered around the table.

Lex Veldhuis, the man of the tournament, just entered and he is seated next to Morten 'Zeeth' Ottosen. Veldhuis told PokerNews that When it folded to him in the small blind he decided to go all-in for no less than 200 big blinds with king-jack. Ottosen got out of the way to award Veldhuis the pot.
There's been a lot of friendly banter at the table of the Dutch PokerStars Team Online member.
Benjamin 'Spraggy' Spragg and Lex Veldhuis both just sat down at the same table where also Twitch sensation Morten 'Zeeth' Ottoson was seated.
Spraggy defended his big blind after the under-the-gun player, Sebastien Broin, raised to 1,200.
