Also still in contention with 20 big blinds is 2018 WPT Amsterdam champion Florens Feenstra. With just under $1,300,000 in career tournament cashes to his name Feenstra will be a force to be reckoned with should he manage to double up his short stack today.

Play will resume today at 4:00 p.m. local time with the blinds at 30,000/60,000 and a 60,000 big blind ante. The action will be streamed on the 888poker Twitch and YouTube channels.
