Changing of the Guard
Jasper Wetemans started out as the Dutch player with the most chips but that sure has changed.
The Dutch EPT regular, who cashed in the last six EPT Main Events he played in, now has about 43,000 left after losing a 110,000 pot. In that hand he had 
on a 
flop with two spades. Though top-two might sound pretty good, it was pretty terrible as his opponent held pocket jacks for the set. No ace on the turn or river and Wetemans had to forfeit a lot of his oh so carefully gathered chips.
In the other corner of the majestic Festsaal his countryman Luuk Gieles is seated. Gieles, who played a fare share of EPT's as well, has a little over a 100,000 by now. He won kings versus fives, won a flip with ace-king versus jacks and won one big non-showdown pot.
The king (Wetemans) is dead. Long live the king as Gieles now leads the Dutch contingent.
