van Hoof puts forth a spectacular display as chip leader with bluffs and aggressive play that stares down every opponent. It’s a runaway train for van Hoof in the early part of the final table episodes.

Mark Newhouse is in November for the second straight year. 2013 featured a ninth-place finish from Newhouse and he is determined to not have the same fate await him in 2014. Newhouse starts the final table third in chips and rides a rollercoaster to his inevitable disappointment.
Europe already has a Swede and a Dutchman at the final table and includes two more members of the continent. Norway’s Felix Stephensen displays the excellent play that carried him on Day 7. Long before Adrian Mateos became Adrian Mateos, Andoni Larrabe was the Spaniard of the moment.
