 The $10.000 World Championship Limit Hold'em had a limited field of only 218 players, because of the high buy-in and because of the other tournaments playing as well (the $1500 and $3000 No Limit Hold'em tournaments starting at the day before and the same day). This meant it coulf finally be the first Dutch bracelet in the pocket? Rob Hollink was certainly up for it,just behind chipleader Aaron Katz, who already has a limit hold'em bracelet from 2004. Biggest names were without a doubt JC Tran and Andy Bloch, both great versatile players, but neither of them has a bracelet yet!

Like we always see on limit Hold'em, there aren't that many big swings in stacksizes, it's more like a flow rather than a swing. So it wasnt much of a surprise to see two of the shortstacks being busted out first. That Andy Bloch and J.C. Tran were out in 7th and 5th was a bit of a surprise. Bloch got shortstacked and pushed all-in preflop with   , being called by Hollink with   , an  on the river sealed his fate. J.C. Tran was also eliminated by Hollink, with a    -board Hollink bets, Tran calls, the  on the turn was followed by a bet from Hollink, Tran moves all-in with his last chips and Hollink calls with a  for a flush. The  on the river didn't help Tran and he was out in 5th place. Former chipleader Aaron Katz got all-in against Ankenman and Hollink. Both checked it down and Ankenman's pocket queens were enough for the K.O.
Tommy Hang got hung when his got called by Hollink's  . He flopped a  but the  on the turn was enough for Hang to be knocked out 3rd. 33 hands of heads-up play follow, Hollink chipping down Jerrod Ankenman consistently. When Ankenman get's all-in before the flop with  , Hollink shows   . He flops 2 pair, no help for Ankenman and Rob Hollink wins his first, and Holland's first golden bracelet, and $496,931 ! Finally!
