So, having taken some notes on players before they start seat-changing, I can say that unfortunately, Taximan, Kevin O'Connell's not had a good start.  Down to just 3,600 right when we got in the room...I don't think I would like someone asking about that while I was at the table, so I'll wait and pounce in the break.

Also, incredibly famous Patrick Bruel, who seems to go everywhere followed by hordes of TV cameras, has taken an early (possibly fatal) knock at the hands of slowplaying Robert Norberg.  On a board of Qs Ts 4h 2c Patrick bet out 5k, and found Robert pushing in for 3,200 more - but only after some consideration.  It turned out that he had that generally-unlayable-down second set:  Th Tc, while M. Bruel had just Ahrt Qh and asked, "how can you wait so long..." plainly not convinced that his opponent was ever going to pass. 

Still early days, but a big hand has already caused a slight stir.

Board = 7d Kd Qd 6d 9d

Mark Secher Petersen = 8d 5d

Allan Aspholm = Ad Aspades

Mark bet 1k, Roy Brindley (who was also in the hand) folded, Allan made it 3k, Mark moved all-in and Allan called.

As a result, Mark Secher Petersen is one of the early chip leaders.

TJ Cloutier -- 10,235
Marcel Luske -- 10,750
John 'Punkgloyd' Conroy -- 10,750
Bjorn-Erik Glenn -- 9,650
Rob Hollink -- 5,025
Jan Sjavik -- 6,475
Roy Brindely -- 10,875
William Thorsson -- 9,775
Juha Helppi -- 11,250
Martin Green -- 10,425

-------------------------

Passing through the tables, I caught an all-in on Table 2.

The board read 2d 2h 3c, and Gerald Lemke was all-in with Pocket Bullets versus the 6h 3h of Erik Koskas.

The turn brought a menacing 7h, but the flush never came into fruition as the 8c hit the felt for the River.

As a result, Lemke has doubled up to around the 6k mark.

Chip counts from table Dan Smith, who after his erratic but very watchable performance in Dublin could be one to keep an eye on chipwise over here...

Table 15:

(1) John Baarstrom        11,725
(2) Tom McEvoy             4,700
(3) Henrik Engsig            9,525
(4) Dan Smith                8,200
(5) Kent Ballegaard         10,700
(6) Age Spets                6,125
(7) Lotte Kalland            9,800
(8) Thomas Blomberg      10,600
(9) Peter Asterfeldt        12,100
(10) Donny Morris            9,800

Not a whole bunch separating this lot, but elsewhere the chips are more unbalanced.  A sample:

Birgitta Johansson  15,300
John Kabbaj           11,400
Per Ummer             1,000
Ingemar Backmann  8,325
Jim Kerrigan            9,800
Gunnar Ostebrod    13,600
Iwan Jones            16,000

Also saw Les Kerrigan wandering behind the ropes, keeping an eye on brothers, having turned his player badge backwards and pinned it on his sweater like a press pass.  I salute your ingenuity, sir - done the same thing many a time in the early days.  Now, just a matter of roping him in to doing some updating...

Ole Andersen -- 4,550
Jeff Kimber -- 9,925
Jim Kerrigan -- 11,000
Erik Friberg -- 11,750
Gunnar Ostebrod --14,475

Nick Slade can't tear himself away from the casino (to be fair it's a bit miserable outside) and brings the story of Iwan's chip gain hand...

There's a raise preflop, a Norwegian in the middle calls, Iwan calls with 7-8...
Flop:  6-8-9  "The Yank bets 1,200, the Norwegian folds, Iwan makes it 3,600, The Sherman Tank goes all-in, leaving Iwan less than 3k to call...he was up against Kings."
Turn:  9
River  8

Meanwhile, Patrick Bruel is OUT, while Kevin O'Connell is back to 9,000 somehow.

Table 1:

(1) Halldor Mar Sverrisson -- 8,050
(2) James Cheng -- 19,800
(3) James D Campbell -- 10,800
(4) Ryan W Graham -- 13,300
(5) Jesper Petersen -- 9,625
(6) Dennis Pedersen -- 11,875
(7) Kenneth G Borror -- 8,200
(8) Jan Erik Sorensen -- 6,050
(9) Dario Alioto -- out
(10) Joachim Halvorsen -- 13,200

Table 2:

(1) Erik Koskas -- 15,300
(2) Peter Petterson -- 8,325
(3) Morten Lund Jensen -- 12,275
(4) Anthony I Holden -- 10,450
(5) Andreas Hoivold -- 9,700
(6) Tommy Rosander -- 8,025
(7) Gerald Lemke -- 5,500
(8) Jan Olav Sjavik -- 6,125
(9) Dennis Cohen -- 7,700
(10) Michael Moehl -- 12,175

TJ Cloutier just doubled up to 16k after hitting a set.

Hand between Kim Hemmingsen (who moved in on the turn for 4,025 with 3,200 in the middle already) and Rehne Pedersen, who was thinking about making the call.
The board:  7h 4h Aspades 7c.  Eventually he called (leaving himself under 2k behind), showing Ac Jc.
Kim Hemmingsen had Ad Kh.
River:  7d

Oooh, say the crowd, and they split the pot.

That makes the chips on that table (16) look like this: 

(1) Mikael Fors            8,000
(2) Peter Swartling     12,625
(3) Tyrone Kerrigan     11,525
(4) Brian Hansen         19,000
(5) Claus Andreasen    4,100
(6) Rehne Pedersen     8,000
(7) Tobias Nebel          2,900
(8) Kim Hemmingsen    6,600
(9) Martin Wendt         14,000
(10) Soren Knudsen      13,600

And Table 17...

(1) Andre Alcaria             9,000
(2) Anders Wijk              12,000
(3) Guenther Hornung     14,000
(4) Bo Knil Jensen           16,525
(5) Marius Olsvik              7,100
(6) Paul Linton                9,025
(7) Mads Andersen          5,700
(8) Gary Haglund             8,250
(9) Mikkel Haga               10,200
(10) Sverre Sundbo         7,200

Meanwhile (if you can take your collective eyes off the pictures of the DTD girls) Iwan Jones is your probable chip leader right now, with just under 30,000.
Neighbour-to-Iwan counts (I was there, after all):
Gunnar Ostebrod   27,000
Griffin X Sanchez    11,000  (what an awesome name)
Anne Lovmo         5,200

Table 3:

(1) Lennart Nystrom -- 7,900
(2) Simon Mycock -- 10,975
(3) Ruben Gavlein -- ?
(4) Katja Thater -- out
(5) Karin Lundgren -- 5,450
(6) Guido Meacci -- 26,900
(7) Simon Gustav Persson -- 15,325
(8) Michael Bech -- 12,475

(8) Ilari Sahamies -- 9,750
(9) Magnus Petersson -- 16,000
(10) Vivi Saethren -- 17,650

Table 6:

(1) Janne Helen Overa -- 7,430
(2) Allard Van Den Oever -- 3,200
(3) Andreas Hagen -- 11,800
(4) Anders Rasmussen -- 13,200
(5) Morten Moller -- out
(6) Bastian Landehagen -- 7,750
(7) Gitte Andersen -- 22,225
(8) Samuel Lehtonen -- out
(9) Anders Lembing -- 6,650
(10) Allan Tornager -- 5,650

Well, action caught by us or not (not, when there's poor photoshopping to be done) here are some more chip counts:

Table 14

(1) Steven Heard          10,250
(2) Jeff Kimber               5,125
(3) Mikael Gibbermark      OUT/moved
(4) Tobias Christensen     11,500
(5) Jeppe Juhl                11,000
(6) Ghassen Yafaoui        12,100
(7) Ole Andersen             8,100
(8) Henric Carlsson           7,425
(9) Hilmar Tveit               10,600
(10) Janno Andersen       12,000

Just saw a hand here when Jeppe Juhl pushed in on a 3c 6d Qc flop, against preflop caller (of his raise, oddly, I think) Ghassen Yafaoui.  He got the call for his 4k or so, showing 8c 6c.  Ghassen showed Ts Th, and was told, "I am the favourite," by his opponent.
Turn:  Ac
River:  I don't even think it was dealt (which is very strange practise indeed).

Same room, one table along:

(1) Magnus Gustavsson  ?
(2) Jan Djerberg           7,400
(3) Jemil Butt              8,900
(4) Olav Haugen           16,200
(5) Morten Skajaa         6,100
(6) Mickael Linback         OUT/moved
(7) Thomas Osterholt     11,800
(8) Seppo Parkkinen        7,100
(9) Kevin O'Connell         13,000
(10) Pal Skavas              12,300

One table up, I started watching a hand that slowly turned into a marathon of think tanking.

The board read 7d 9s Kh, and I joined it as the chap pictured below (can anyone name him?) was making a 2k bet.

Cue first think tank session.

Soren Andersen, across the other end of the table, then decides to make it 4k.

Cue second think tank session.

Turn = 8d

Cue third think tank session.

Mateyboy checks.

Cue fourth think tank session.

Andersen moves all-in for around 5k.

Cue fifth think tank session.

Mateyboy eventually makes a somewhat reluctant, but ultimately justified call with Ad Kd, to be greeted by Andersen's Ks 6s.

9c on the River and we're a scandie down.

Sure was a lot of thinking though, Andersen even dwelt before leaving his seat.

Sverre Sundbo is OUT.
"I got short on an unfortunate more before going out making a move," weeped the Norseman.

The blinds are at 100/200 with an average stack of 12,345.
162 players remaining.

Joel Harwood -- 14,500
Ilari Sahamies -- 2,350
Bastion Landehagen -- 19,150
Jesper Petersen -- 13,900
Vivi Seathren -- 16,950

John Kabbaj is still quietly plugging away with 11,425 (not too much progress there, but still in).
Meanwhile, just across the table, is WSOP 2006 finalist, Erik Friberg, struggling with just 6,400 in chips.

As for the other Request Followees - they're going well:

Kim Vevle             14,000
Simon Persson       13,000
Ghassan El'Hoss       3,600
John Conroy          30,000

Saw Mr. Conroy play a hand, calling the cutoff's preflop raise on the button and seeing a heads-up flop of 8c 9s Kh.  Cutoff (Andreas Bardum) bet out 1,000.  Quick call.
Turn:  Qs  Andreas bets out 3k.  Very quick call.  Oh how uncomfortable to be out of position...
River:  8d.  Check-check and John shows a winning Kc Qd.

**************40 minute dinner break**************

Just ran into Kinboshi in the hallway who looks pretty perky, discussing short stack Day Two tactics with Mr. Slade... we'll get round to that tomorrow...

The Prize Pool info has been shared by the benificent Mad Harper:

Total pool:  13,824,000, which she said was, "£2.50."  Not quite...still a hefty chunk of change in Euro - 1.8 mil.

1   DKK 4078080 = €547,177

2   DKK 2308608 = €309,773

3   DKK 1340928 = €179,928

4   DKK 1022976 = €137,254

5   DKK 843264 = €113,142

6   DKK 663552 = €89,028

7   DKK 525312 = €70,481

8   DKK 373248 = €50,083

9-10   DKK 228096 = €30,606

11-12   DKK 179712 = €24,114

13-14   DKK 138240 = €18,547

15-16   DKK 96768 = €12,983

17-24   DKK 76032 = €10,201

25-32   DKK 55296 = €7,419

33-40  DKK 41472 = €5,564

TOTAL:13,824,000

Converting those took a while.  Snoopy's getting stories to fill the gap.

Marcel Luske found himself in dyer need of a miracle as he moved all-in with Tc 6c on a 2c Js 3c Flop.

What he didn't want to see recent addition to the table, William Thorsson, turn over, was a rather intimidating Ac Jc, which duly held up, even though the Turn brought a scary 6s.

As a result of that hand, Thorsson has shot up to 26k.

Luske is therefore OUT.

------------------

Meanwhile, the man (or boy) truly transforming into the Scandinator is a young fellow called, Bastion Landehagen.

Before eliminating Alan Tornager with Kd 7d versus Qs Ts on an 8h Tc Ks Flop (Turn 9h, River Ad), the little rascal then went on to remove another opponent from the table, his A-K being no match for Mateyboy's A-T on a King high board.

Consequently, Landehagen is now quite possibly the new chip leader with just over 50 big ones.

Roy Brindley News Now:

Short stacked, he raised to 1,200 preflop (blinds now 150/300), and his immediate neighbour made it 2,400.  Suspicious?  Considering he was even shorter than Roy (5kish), perhaps...
Anyway, flop:  Td Th 4s  Roy checks, Matey bets 2k.  Call.
Turn:  6h  Now The Boy just pushes in his last 3k, and gets a call from the Aspades Ahrt.  Roy shows 8d 8c
River:  8h  Squeak.  A pat on the back from the eliminator to the exiter, but that can't have reduced the bite of that one.

Allard Van Der Overa has doubled up and forced Anders Lembing down to the felt in the process with just 4,050.

All-in with Aces, the K-Q of Lembing was no match even with both a King and Queen on board.

Board = 6-K-6-Q-6


-----------------

Similary, Vivi Seathren has also suffered the loss of a big pot, her Pocket Kings losing out to her neighbour's Tens on a Ten high Flop, all the most going in after the first three cards hit the felt.

As a result, she is now down to 7k after failing to win what was, ultimately, a pretty chunky pot indeed.

Following from that, some counts from here and there:

Kim Vevle        ?missing, presumed OUT
Simon Persson   15,200
Ghassan El-Hoss   OUT
Karin Lundgren   15,650
Jason Cheng      21,000
Mikael Lundell     16,700
John Conroy       24,950
Vivi Saethren      8,000
Daniel Bertelsen   6,100
John Shipley       14,000  (now on Conroy's table)
Andreas Hagen    5,100
Roy Brindley        11,000
Jeff Kimber -- 4,725
TJ Cloutier -- 15,975
John Kabbaj -- 10,300
Jim Kerrigan -- 7,625
Iwan Jones -- 44,200
Ghassa Yafaoui -- 26,350
Gunnar Ostebrod -- 21,750
Mads Andersen -- 12,100
Paul Linton -- 10,625
Martin Wendt -- 5,700
Tom McEvoy -- 13,825
Age Spets -- 14,500
Rob Hollink -- out

Ghassa Yafaoui has encountered an action-packed couple of hands, first disposing of Janno Andersen, who was probably tilting from the hand before. Ace high Flop, Andersen called all-in wtih Pocket Jacks, saying "I've had a great time, but it's time to move", only to watch in dismay as his opponent reveals A-K.

Soon after, however, Ghassa handed some over to his neighbour when his A-Q was outdrawn by Q-9 all-in pre-flop, a 9 coming out second card.

John Shipley knocks out William Thorson (aside - apparently after his name, which actually has two S's in it, was misspelt in the US, he's kind of just gone with the new spelling now):

A triple raise preflop, getting the majority of Thorson's stack in the middle, and quite a bit of John Shipley's, and the rest going in on the Jack-high flop.
William Thorson's A-A had been spiked by J-J, and the Shipley set sent one of the favourites to the rail...

Thanks for the heads up, Suffolkpunch...

129 players remaining.

Still half an hour left at the 150/300 ante 25 level.

----------

Morten Lund Jensen -- 60,875

Henrik Witt -- 36,500
Gary Haglund -- 32,500
Kim Bernsten Vevle -- 29,675
Gert Anderson -- 28,825

Roy Brindley takes on another shorter stack, now that he's over 18k himself -

He raises to 800 preflop, called only by the big blind.
Flop:  Ts Qs 2h.  Check-check
Turn:  Jd  Big blind checks, Roy bets 1k, gets check raised to 2,500 and does an instant deep reach to cover the other guy with a chunk of blue chips.  Dwell for a good five minutes before he passes, showing Qc and gives it to The Boy.

Before the 15 minute break started, got a couple more counts... really should keep an eye on the clock.  I'm surprised every time when they get up and all swarm for the door while I'm busy putting names to stacks...

Londoner Simon Mycock was well on for the Climber of the Day prize, having built 2k back to 20k, until he found the short stack next to him pushing in preflop in late position for 5k.  He re-raised all-in with Ac Qs, and found 7h 8h against him...unfortunately for him, the short stack hit 4-6-x on the flop, and rivered the gutshot 5 (for the most dramatic way of winning that hand, although there were others possible), and he's taken a slight knock as a result.  BA says to get Simon's attention you just shout, "Guv!" anywhere in the room and he looks up.

The same hand (Ac Qh this time) was chucked away by Martin Wendt when he'd raised preflop and found Brian Hansen all-in over the top from the blinds for another 5k. 

Some chip counts:

TJ Cloutier         26,000
John Kabbaj         9,000
Jim Kerrigan        12,325
Kevin O'Connell    11,000   (these top four now share a table)
Martin Wendt      16,000
Brian Hansen        12,000
Tom McEvoy         8,750
Tyrone Kerrigan    27,000
Simon Persson      21,000
Mikael Lundell       12,000
Vivi Saethren          OUT
Andreas Hagen     18,000
Bastion Landehagen  52,000
Roy Brindley           18,600
Nil Paulsen             19,000
Jan Sjavik               15,100
Halldor Sverrisson    26,000
James Campbell      24,200
Magnus Petersson   45,000
Jeff Kimber              2,575
Jeppe Juhl              11,200

John Conroy is on 25,050.

His next door neighbour, Thomas Holm, however, is now one of the chip leaders with just over 60k.

Everyone folded round to Scandieboy and Holm in the blinds. Scandieboy raised to 1,200, Holm made it 2,600, Scandieboy called and the two players saw a Flop...

4h 5h 6s

Scandieboy checks, Holm bets 4,200, Scandieboy makes it 10,000 and Holm calls.

Turn = 8c

Scandieboy moves all-in for his last 12,000 and Holm calls.

Scandieboy = Qc 9d

Holm = 7h 4s

R = Tc

Tyrone Kerrigan more than halves his stack to Martin Wendt:

He limped for 600 in mid position, and small blind Martin checked.
Flop:  Ad 2c 6d  Martin bet out 1,000; call.
Turn:  3h  Martin bet out 3,000; call.
River:  Ks  Martin bet 6,500.  Pause; call.  Martin's 3d 3s set was good...

Elsewhere, Brian Hansen is OUT after his Ks Kd was outflopped (all-in pre) by J-J, which housed up by the river.

And Janne Overa doubles up to 25k, after moving all-in over a preflop raiser (to less than 2k) who called her Jd Js with his 7d 7h, and despite calling for his cards - and more vehemently on the turn when it read 6h 8s  6s 9s - "Five!  Ten!  No spades!"  she won the pot.

Jim Kerrigan is currently on 10,500, whilst Welshman Iwan Jones is still running well with 37,350.

Fellow British player Kevin O'Connell has bitten the dust - his pre-flop raise with Queens (button) raised all-in by TJ CLoutier's A-9 in the big blind (about 9k total), only for the Turn to bring an Ace.

Blinds now 300/600 ante 75.  87 players still in, with half an hour left until the end of play for today.

Simon Mycock was down to 2k with 8c 8d vs Kd Ks on a board of 7c 2c Js Kc, that was until the 5c River raked him a bot of 33k.


--------------------


Morten Lund Jensen's previously vast stack of chips has just been partially depleted by Jan Sjavik who won a Kings versus Queens all-in pre-flop battle.

Sjavic now up to 64,500.

John Shipley -- 25,450
Thomas Holm -- 59,050
Ben Johnson -- 38,300
Atle Walgren -- 44,300
Bastion Landehagen -- 87,350
Simon Mycock -- 35,525
Jan Sjavik -- 65,500

Play as ended for the day.

Back at 2pm for Day 2 of the Copenhagen EPT.
