Seat 5: Mathijs Jonkers (27, Netherlands) - 2,785,000
Dutchman Mathijs Jonkers lives in his home country in Ermelo and is 27 years old. He is the owner of the open Dutch Championship of Poker, an amateur poker championship with more than 10,000 players competing each year in an individual and team championship. Jonkers is friends with Marcel Luske, who was on the rail for the late stages of the tournament to support his countryman.
Jonkers doesn't have any WSOP cash yet and mostly plays in €100-€500 tournaments with cashes of $8,580 so far. He was one of the most interactive and talkative players at the tables, exchanging jokes and banter with his opponents. The Dutchman reached the final day with 2,785,000 in chips, good enough for almost 28 big blinds when play resumes.
