Dutch Players Advance in WSOP COLOSSUS
Hans Bosman and Tom Verbruggen have advanced to Day 2 of the $500 COLOSSUS at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). They join fellow countrymen Mateusz Moolhuizen and Bouwe Claushuis, who qualified for the next day of the massive tournament a day earlier.
The $500 COLOSSUS is one of the largest tournaments of the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and the nineteenth event of the series. The third of four starting days took place last night, drawing 4,286 entries. This brings the total field to 10,368, with the last and largest starting day still to come.
Hans Bosman was among those in action on Day 1C of the $500 COLOSSUS. Bosman, who travels to Las Vegas every year for multiple WSOP events, had a successful day and nearly increased his starting stack of 50,000 tenfold. He finished with 469,000 chips, good for 39 big blinds at the start of Day 2.
Fellow Dutchman Tom Verbruggen also secured a place on Day 2, finishing with 192,000 chips. They join Mateusz Moolhuizen (887,000) and Bouwe Claushuis (775,000), who qualified for the next day of the $500 COLOSSUS a day earlier.

Marcel Vonk Makes Deep Run
Marcel Vonk, a fan of all different variants of poker, played on the second day of Event #23, the $1,500 Badugi. He started the day with only a few big bets and hoped to make it into the money.
Vonk managed to secure a min-cash with a very small stack, and from that moment on, things got better for the Dutchman. He stayed alive and eventually played his way to a commendable sixteenth place for $6,879.
“…and then we ran out of chips. Had a sweat for the final card, was the right suit but wrong rank. Can’t be too sad about 16th place for $6879 though, nice to get that first run!” – Marcel Vonk
After Vonk’s elimination, play continued for a while until the day ended with seven players remaining. They will return for the final day.
Final Seven Players in $1,500 Badugi
- Matthew Schreiber: 2,095,000 (17 big bets)
