EPT Copenhagen: Day 1B - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Just caught Roy Brindley hovering outside. I assumed he was out and did the ol' cut throat gesture, to which he replied...

"No, I'm still in, was down to 3k, back up to 40k, now down to 32k. Not a bad spin up."

[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.

Does anyone recognise this fella? Apparantly it's Paul Linton of London who qualified online with Ladbrokes. He's on 19,200 at the moment after winning a pot with A-Q on an Ace high Flop. If anyone can shed any more light on him, then please feel free to post us your pearls of wisdom.

for nerds and lazy arses I did a quick google. Paul plays at big slick.

A few players are starting to climb and challenge the chip leaders, 3 of which are:

Atle Walgren -- 49,100
Ben Johnson -- 42,200
Erlend Melsom -- 49,050

Gitte Andersen has pretty much doubled up courtesy of her pink-hatted neighbour.

10k pot and the board read

Gitte checked, only for Mateyboy to bet 5k, leaving just 1.8k behind.

Gitte gave him the fiercest of stares, getting right close up to his face.

Mateyboy looked unmoved, but Gitte eventually made the correct call with her .

Her opponent tapped the table out of appreciation (always a nice gesture) and revealed his inferior Pocket Snowmen.

Clearly delighted and relieved at the same time (she only had 2.5k left if she was wrong), Gitte released a yelp of delight followed by a deep exhale of relief.

Thanks Tim, no i wont be, I do miss the live games, but hey, its beginning to take off here in Asia.

Say hi to your good lady from me, Oh and Hazel as well hehe

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.

Scandieboy =

Holm =

R =

"Hell of a hand," commented John Conroy.

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 'The Grinder' Kerrigan is currently on 10,500 (500 in 9 hours is progress I suppose), whilst Welshman Iwan Jones is still running well with 37,350.

Unfortunately, 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.

[Djinn]

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

[Djinn]

Here's the lesser spotted Tyrone Kerrigan...

[Royal Flush]

How many Kerrigan's does it take to change a light bulb.

[snoopy1239]

LOTS of action in these last few minutes, including two big chippers calshing head on, both of whom are pictured below.

Board =

Erlend Melsom bets 5.5k, Thomas raises 14,500, Erlund moves all-in and Thomas folds.

These guys are maniacs!

Holm (bottom) down to 53,500.
