First Faces in the Field
Among those to be in their seats right after the cards got underway were two-time Unibet Open champion Mateusz Moolhuizen, Hans de Hond, Markus Heikkila, and Georgios Tavoularis. Another familiar face of the poker scene was seated on Moolhuizen’s table in Kevin Mathers, known to most poker players by his online alias "Kevmath" – the most reliable source on social media when it comes to everything poker related.
