Mulder and Kramer Lead International MCOP Event Final Table

2 min read
Teun Mulder has a slight lead over [Removed:172] with nine left in the Master Classics of Poker Main Event.

Day 3 of the Master Classics of Poker Main Event has come to an end, and the final table is set. Nine players remain in the most prestigious tournament of The Netherlands, and it's a Dutchman leading the international final table.

Teun Mulder, an online cash game expert in origin, battled with kings versus ace-king in the last hand of the day to conclude the penultimate day of poker showdowns in Amsterdam. German [Removed:172] follows close behind with just a three big blind deficit to the chip leader.

Worth a mention are two other Dutchman, both for their own reasons. Jasper Meijer van Putten won the last EPT in Prague before the venerable poker tour took a year hiatus. The experienced Dutch poker player brings a more than decent 59 big blinds to the final table.

The other home country hero is Alberto Stegeman, who starts out with 14 big blinds and has his work cut out for him. Stegeman is a local celebrity, known for his investigative journalism with his own show on Dutch TV. Despite poker not being his bread and butter, Stegeman is absolutely no stranger to poker. In fact, the game has been a longtime passion of the amicable Stegeman who's cemented himself a place in the Dutch poker scene already, having played numerous national and international poker tournaments.

Day 3 of Amsterdam's most famous tournament got underway with 36 hopeful souls looking for a spot at that final table and a shot at the �240,183 first-place prize that accompanies coming in first.

Before the dinner break, many recognizable faces had hit the rail already. Former champions Noah Boeken (33rd, �7,800) and Hakim Zoufri (31st, �9,547) were joined on the rail by such famous players as Steve O'Dwyer (27th, �9,547), Giuliano Bendinelli (20th, �11,642), and Goran Mandic (16th, �13,971).

Local heroes Stefan Wolzak (34th, �7,800), Michiel Brummelhuis (30th, �9,547), and Joris Ruijs (23rd, �11,642) also cashed.

The chip lead shifted between Meijer van Putten and Kramer for some time, before eventually Mulder took the honors.

There are 45 minutes remaining in Level 21 (8,000/16,000/16,000). The final day is scheduled to get underway at 3 p.m. local time.
