European Representation
It's nice to see some of the Team PokerStars family from Europe has made the long trip down here to Brazil to play. We've spotted Holland's Fatima Moreira de Melo and Belgium's Matthias De Meulder in the room, and the two of them are good friends from the EPT circuit.
De Meulder was out of his seat a moment ago trying to chat with de Melo in between hands, but the lady was involved in something serious. We missed the preflop action, but it must have been significant as there were close to 6,000 chips already piled in the middle of the table. It was heads-up, and the dealer gave an flop. De Melo checked from her position under the gun, and her opponent on the button made a bet of 3,500. De Meulder peeked over at his own table and ran back to play his hand.
De Melo cut down the ~17,500 chips left in her stack, then uncapped her cards and mucked without incident.
