Even though last year's champion Rob Hollink busted out late last night, it's not looking terrible for a second bracelet for the Netherlands. Lex Veldhuis is up to 127,000 -- not quite our chip leader, but firmly up in that happy club of folks over the 100,000 mark. Watch this space...
Meanwhile fellow Dutchie Michiel Brummelhuis, resplendent today in a hoodie emblazoned with lots of little birds in every colour of the rainbow, is doing less well -- he's down to 13,500 and is going to have to pull something impressive out of a hat if he's going to go much further in this.
