So, unsurprisingly, Jorrit is all in next hand for his 17k. Button Jan Sjavik calls. So does Alex in the small blind, and so does JJ.
It's not looking good for van Hoof.
Flop:
checkcheckcheck
Turn:
checkcheckcheck
River:
Alex bets 25k, called by JJ. Alex has the
for the win.....
And so
Jorrit van Hoof
is eliminated in
7th
place, winning
€43,125

We're back, blinds now risen to 7k/14k, ante 2k.
Caught up with the Camel briefly in the break, all beaming smiliness, and muttering something about it being "time to change gears." He was sat with Jimi, of Gutshot fame, who ever so narrowly missed winning the ticket to this event in the satellite which propelled JJ over here. But he has a percentage and has been "laughing all the way through it."

Returned to my seat to find two players contemplating an odd board of
. Jan calls Jonathan's bet at this juncture.
River:
Jonathan Fahl bets 60k, and Jan Sjavik moves all in - for another 181k. Jonathan's failure to instacall discounts his having the Six, or even a juicy pair but he calls.
Jan has
, and Jonathan's
look pretty sad. Crippling loss for the young Frenchman, while Jan Sjavik looks even more dangerous.

Actually, Jonathan looks like he has a couple of hundred remaining... so hard to tell from our vantage point.
Camel must be on around 420k, Alex must have around 800k and honestly I couldn't count Rolf's ridiculous towers even if I were standing right behind him.

JJ is out of his seat when the next hand is being dealt but rushes back just in time. Not terribly dignified, but he gets to see his cards, and he's in the blinds.
Jonathan moves in this hand for 74k (I was right the first time before trying to screen-count) - Alex gives it a think and then decides against it, and JJ thinks too (having a sip of coffee with that unfortunate thing where the little paper mat is stuck to the bottom of the cup but you don't notice)... nope. No callers.

Rolf raises preflop, then Jonathan makes a stand here moving in with

Board:

Now it's Jan Sjavik's turn to raise and get Jonathan moving in over the top. He too gives him a spin, but only after some serious contemplation.

pop out after Rolf calls Alex Jelali's preflop raise.
Turn:
Rolf checks, Alex checks
River:
And at this point all betting ceased, and Rolf's
take the pot.

JJ raises preflop, and sees
along with caller Alex Jelali Abadi...
Mr. Hazan bets 70k here, and Alex Jelali raises to 200k even. "Mr. JJ moves all in!" announces the M.C.
Alex folds, though. Jimi, you can breathe out.

This place is absolutely packed (well, it is Saturday night) and it's tough to get to the stage area. But I've got some photos, which are just being processed...
Meanwhile, in the eye of the casino storm, Alex re-raises Rolf's preflop cutoff raise to what looks like 300k from the small blind. Rolf moves all in, for a lot. I think these guys are still the chip leaders, but either way this will be a huge pot if Alex calls... Which he does!
Alex shows:
Rolf shows:
Flop:
Turn:
And we're all thinking the same thing...
River:

Alex shakes his opponent's unlucky hand, and after a lengthy countdown we hear this has spelled the end for Holland's own
Rolf 'Ace' Slotboom
- who finishes in
5th
place, winning
€86,250

Alex and JJ clash in the closing minutes before the dinner break - now it looks like the Alex Jalali raise/re-raise might be something we see pretty often. He does it here on the turn (sorry, can't see the board, looks like one paint and some random rags).
But JJ moves all in, and is rewarded with a very snappy fold.
Two more hands til dinner...

Well, I'll give you my roughest of rough estimates of the chip count, but we'll get the real deal after the dinner break, which is NOW.
JJ Hazan 550,000
Jan Sjavik 700,000
Alex Jalali 1,800,000
Keith Hawkins 400,000
But I reiterate, these are guessed off a TV screen, and are probably a few miles off.

Well, it's been half an hour; I'm back, but they're not. Give me another five minutes to sneak up to the Table and count the chips, as I am beginning to doubt some kind soul is going to do it for me.

OK, here's the best I can manage, with a little help from JJ, who says, "I'm probably more relaxed now than I've ever been. I'm playing cards with four players and a lot of chips." I admire the simplicity of the statement.
Anyway, the chips are roughly:
JJ Hazan 780,000
Keith Hawkins 130,000
Jan Sjavik 550,000
Alex Jalali Abadi The Rest (1,800,000 or so)
