EPT Copenhagen: Day 2 - At A Glance

[snoopy1239]

Nick Slade has doubled up to around the 95k mark with Ace King suited versus chip leader Brent Wheeler's Pocket Queens.

And for once, it wasn't all-in pre-flop, instead, Nick flopping the nut flush draw and moving in on the Turn.

No heart arrived, but a black King hit to give Nick a monster pot.

Moments later, Wheeler tilted off 15k and is probably back down to around 55-75k.

Huge pot makes a chip leader of Simon Mycock (Londoner, according to BA based in Oslo, so both UK and Scandie in one):

on an flop, he bet out 8k (I think) into two other players.  His neighbour, decently stacked, made the call, while the other guy fled the scene.
Turn: .  Simon checks, Matey bets 15k pretty fast, and before the chips have come to a full stop, Simon says, "All in."  Instacall.
Simon shows: 
Matey shows: 

And the river gives a monster pot to Simon, giving him over 180,000 which he just moved from neighbour's stack to his own with ever so slightly shaky hands...

Has Jim Kerrigan any chips?

Yes.  51k - he said just one word, "Kings."  I think he's happy...

Please note that both Johnny Lodden and Tom McEvoy are OUT of the comp and will playing no further part.

Brigitta Johansson has exited after her Pocket Sevens ran into the re-raise of Theo Jorgensen and his Cowboys.

Iwan's doing pretty well up on the TV table, nicking one set of large blinds, and betting another opponent off a flop with a 14k bet.

The consolidated chips mean that there have been far fewer all-ins this level, although the rich seem to be getting richer - like Mark Petersen, Roy Brindley and Jan Sjavik.
Fairly slow going in the Main Room, to be honest...although they've broken the 65 player mark...

Iwan Jones -- 100k
ElkY -- 185k
Thoe Jorgenssen -- 55k
Jan Sjavic -- 85k
Roy Brindley -- 165k
Jim Kerrigan -- 50k
Nick Slade -- 135k
John Shipley -- 45k

Nick Slade reached 135k after his Aces held up against the Pocket Kings of Mark Pedersen.

I missed out seat 1 from the Feature Table, who's Christoffer Sonesson.  Probably.  And also on that table are Claus Nielsen and  Harrison Williams (seats 4 and 5).  Thomas Kremser is doing the announcing on there, but due to the rest of the room's noise (there are sit'n'gos starting up slowly) it's hard to make out what he's saying.

[snoopy1239]

Nick Slade -- 140k
Roy Brindley -- 200k
Robert Olsson -- 50k
Jonas Helness -- 35k
Claus Nielsen -- 90k

The secondary room has somehow dwindled to just two tables during this 1,500/3000 ante 300 level... only 46 remaining in total.

A few counts:

Simon Mycock        120,000
Alexandre Poulain     68,000
Jim Kerrigan             35,000
Magnus Petersson    122,000
Bertrand Grospellier    80,000
Christian Grundtvig    88,000  (I thought I spotted his distinctive red sunglasses earlier, but lost him for a while).

[Djinn]

Magnus Petersson just doubled up courtesy of his .  His 60k stack mostly got in on the flop, with Elky looking to be the payer-off with his .  The running Fives on the turn and river gave them both full houses, but Magnus' was just that little bit higher.

Nik Slade is down to the felt after running Pocket Queens into the Bullets of TJ Cloutier, Nick being the player who made the initial raise.

Ladbrokes online qualifier, Stephen Mitchell, is OUT, busted by Iwan Jones who called his all-in with A-K.

The K-A-x Flop was emphatic as Mitchell's Sevens failed to improve.
