Thijs Menco
Defending WPTDeepStacks Amsterdam winner Thijs Menco has just been knocked out after shoving all in for his last 12 big blinds with X 6X 6 into the X AX K of Farid Chati. The flop came X AX KX X and there was no help for Menco on the turn or river, and he was eliminated.

In the next hand Firas Rachid moved all in for around 100,000 from under the gun. Paul Theobald was in the next position and re-raised all in himself. The remaining players folded.
