EPT Copengahen: Day 1B - At A Glance

[Djinn]

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 , and found 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 ( 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.

TJ Cloutier         26,000

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...



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

Turn =

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

Tyrone Kerrigan more than halves his stack to Martin Wendt:

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

Elsewhere, Brian Hansen is OUT after his 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 with his , and despite calling for his cards - and more vehemently on the turn when it read   - "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.
