EPT BADEN - Final Day Live Update - At A Glance

[Djinn]

Dario announces, "Raise."  Like he was doing most of Day One, although opponent Jonas Molander says he's got other gears and is probably his toughest opponent on the final.

Daniel Dodet re-raises the 31k to 150k - a quick pass.

[Djinn]

Dario calls the all-in bet from Peter Eichhardt preflop:

River:     

So Peter Eichhardt from Sweden goes out fast in 8th place, winning €47,167

Not only does Chris' pick outlast mine, he knocks him out first from the final.  Great.

[Djinn]

Jonas Molander raises to 34,000... neighbour Dario immediately comes over the top to 190k.  (Showing those well-folded (in my opinion) queens might have encouraged this sort of behaviour...)

Jonas thinks about the extra 85,000 for a bit, and passes.

[NoflopsHomer]

Jonas raises to 34k, Dario folds, Ben Johnson calls, Thang and Rodion fold.

Jonas bets 47k on the flop. Ben calls

Turn is the , Jonas checks, Ben checks.

The river is a dangerous looking . Jonas checks and Ben bets 80k and Jonas folds.

[Djinn]

Dario Minieri limps in, small blind Daniel calls and big blind Sasa checks.

Threeway flop:     Daniel Dodet bets out 40k, then quick as a flash (almost at the same time as Sasa got out of the way) Dario says, "200,000" and just as quickly Daniel announces all in.  That's a tidy 220k or so more to the Italian.  Too much.  Pass.

Rolf seems to be getting excited that a Belgian is doing well.

[NoflopsHomer]

Thang calls, Dario makes up and Ben checks.



Checked around.

on the turn and Dario bets 23k, Ben calls and Thang folds.

River is the , Dario checks and Ben bets 110k and Dario quickly folds.

[NoflopsHomer]

Ben takes down the blinds with a 40k raise.

He then sees a flop with Rodion and Daniel who both fold to his bet also. He's winning a lot of small pots.

Next hand Dario raises to 36k, and everyone passes.

Blinds are now 8k/16k with a 2k running ante.

[Djinn]

Jonas moves in for his 160k preflop.  Ben Johnson asks for a countdown.  Call.

So Jonas Molander finishes in 7th spot, winning €62,890


And I was just going to mention the slowness of it all...
John Duthie calls a break to move the players round a bit, and maybe thin down their large stacks of yellow chips.

[Djinn]

Great updates as ever Blondies....any Squelching news from the 2k? Wish him luck from me....

Squelch has made the final table, is sat next to Marcel Luske, and opposite Bad Girl...wouldn't you know it, just while I was passing, he was calling her all-in.  Apparently she'd made it 30k, he'd raised to 90k, and then she'd pushed for another 120k or so....
He called with
She showed: 

Chop.

Threeway flop on Sasa's big blind:

Flop:    The blinds check, as does limper Ben Johnson
Turn:    Check-check, now Ben bets 40k and sb Daniel calls, while Sasa folds.
River:    Daniel checks, and Ben checks behind.  This was a good idea, seeing as Daniel had for the turned nuts (although he can't have liked the river a whole lot).

[Djinn]

Big pot for Thang in the big blind- a double through off small blind Ben Johnson, in fact.  It had folded round to Ben, who raised 40k and got a call.
I'm going to level with you here, and say I don't know exactly what happened on the flop, but it was , which saw another medium size bet and call.
Turn:    Ben checked, Thang moved in - call.
for Ben there, but only the flopped nuts - for Thang, who wins a new 700k+ chipleader stack.

[Djinn]

Rodion moves in now, on the flop, pretty close to actually calling all in, with his shorter stack.  He's against Daniel Dodet, and the board stands: 

Daniel: 
Rodion: 

Turn: 
River: 

So Russian wakeboarder (I was told this in all seriousness) Rodion Cherednichenko is OUT in 6th place, winning €78,612

[Djinn]

Sasa almost immediately moved his whole stack in preflop on the small blind and there was another stand-up showdown, this time against American Ben Johnson.
Sasa had: 
Ben had: 

The board came out and there was actually a bit of cheering for Sasa's double through from the rather deadpan rail... maybe they're just warming up to go wild for the heads up.
