Not everyone was fortunate enough to reach the final table, such as the Brazilian professional Felipe Ramos, who was aiming for his first World Poker Tour title, it was less successful, the Brazilian busting in eighth place amid incredible late drama. But that was just the end of a day’s play that will live long in the memory.
At times, Day 3 was spectacular. From the opening exchanges, the pieces were well set. The bubble would burst at 36 players, and we started with only 39, so play quickly reached the money bubble. When it did, suddenly three tables had all-ins and calls at the same time.
It was British player Yiannis Liperis who was the unfortunate man to miss out on the min-cash, his 
unable to outrun pocket kings and pocket deuces when a full house saw him drawing dead by the turn and prompting applause by the river.
Once everyone else was in the money, some severely short-stacks were all-in hand after hand. Pierre Neuville earned the 100th tournament cash in his illustrious career when he busted shortly after the bubble burst.
Elsewhere, champions were surviving, Zinno was all-in and at risk with 
but hitting a nine on the river against Hans Bosman’s 
to stay alive. Both men would make the final nine players, but others would get so near and yet so far.
Jasper Meijer was a gregarious personality all day, but he lost out when dominated pre-flop to Tomas Fara after a good shove at the wrong time. Fernando Garcia got even closer to the single table set-up, but his all-in move with 
was doomed when Emrah Cakmak called all-in for slightly less chips with 
and a hand later, Garcia was on the rail.
With nine players remaining, the packed rail may have been preparing for a long night, with no-one wanting to miss out on being part of the super six who would be returning on Saturday to fight for the title. But action was fast, and when local favourite
Maikel Muis moved all-in for just ten big blinds with , he was called by Andjelko Andrejevic’s 
and an ace on the flop precipitated his end.
Down to eight we needed two more players to bust to bring about our final table – we got them in just two hands.
First, Brazilian poker superstar Felipe Ramos moved all-in from the button for his final 250,000, just five big blinds at the time, with 
. He was called by Tomas Fara who held . The flop of 
gave Ramos hope of a Broadway miracle, but instead, the play-out of a turn 
then, to gasps from the rail, and river ended Ramos’ hopes with ‘Death by Quads’.
“Anything but a win is not enough.” Said the ultra-competitive Brazilian afterwards, when we caught up with him. “The situation was nothing new to me, and I am disappointed not to win. I know there is a monetary difference in prizes between being runner-up or going in eighth, but, honestly, second or eighth is just the same to me. It’s all about winning.”
That mentality will no doubt win Ramos his coveted Main Event title in time, and his words were still ringing in the ears of the remaining seven players when one of them followed him out of the door.
Dutchman Van den Bijgaart’s elimination ended the day when he ran queens into Fara’s two pair, and the lauded professional walked away with another dream shattered to pieces. Van den Bijgaart now has a fifth and a seventh in WPT Amsterdam Main Event, and a fifth in the WPT National Valkenburg Main Event.
Be sure to return tomorrow at 2:30 pm local time (8:30 am ET) for the dramatic conclusion of WPT Amsterdam from Holland Casino.
