EPT Copenhagen: Day 2 - At A Glance

[Djinn]

Anders Wijk has eliminated Jonas Helness with vs , all-in pre-flop.

Board =

No handshakes here, the high fives, cheers and 'yelps' from the railers resulting in Helness meekly creeping away.

Chip Leader Status confirmed - although wild rumours were circulated by BA that that pot was over half a mil, in actuality Anders has about 380k as far as I can see, and BA can't count.

Shortstack, Andy Goetsch, has just been removed from the final table by Magnus Petersson.

As a result, we are down to 24 players.

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

Meanwhile, TJ Cloutier is down to just 60k after losing a monster pot to Anton Smolyanskiy.

A-Q vs A-4

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

Other news...

Constant shortstacker for the day, Claus Nielsen, has also departed.

[Djinn]

Iwan Jones is OUT - on the feature table he classically raced his A-K against J-J.  The home crowd cheered the Jack on the flop, and we're down to 21 players here...

[Djinn]

Dent to Simon Mycock's stack - pretty serious one too -

He called Tobias Persson's preflop raise and the flop came .  Simon checked, Tobias bet 50k.  Simon raised to 100k.  A very long think, and then Tobias Persson's whole 250k stack was in the middle.  Clearly this was not going according to plan for Simon, who struggled with the fold but managed it in the end.

Three way all-in now that has resulted in the elimination of Denmark's Peter Fischer.

Once again it was from the feature table, and once again the camera made it exceedingly difficult to witness the holding cards, but I'm pretty sure Anton Smolyanskiy flipped over Ace Queen, and, judging by his dismay, I would assume Cole Morrow, who was the shortest of the three, had a monster hand like Aces or Kings. Fischer, who had also pushed his short stack all-in, was in deep trouble with A-J.

The Flop came

No reaction.

Turn =

River =

Fischer, who begun the day in 8th position, taps the table and exits stage left.

TJ Cloutier is OUT.

He made his move with K-3, but was shot down by the Pocket Threes of Sjavik.

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

Bad news for the British followers as John Shipley, who I believe won the London EPT in Season 3, has just been eliminated from the comp.

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

Richard Toth has just doubled up with Jacks vs A-8 on a 2-8-9 Flop and is now on 490k.

[snoopy1239]

Magnus Petersson may well be the latest chip leader with half a million.

On a Flop of , all the chips went in with Simon Mycock's up against Petersson's Pocket Queens.

Magnus grimaced as the Turn brought an intimidating , but exhaled deeply when all the draws failed to hit the highly welcoming River.

As a result, Simon is down to the felt, so no one is fearing Mycock at the moment.

[Djinn]

A couple of counts, from behind someone's head and in front of someone else's... I don't know how many times I've apologised for not being transparent today.

Elky                 190k
Jan Sjavik          170k
Thomas Holm     340k
Anders Wijk       350k
Tobias Persson     71k
Theo Jorgensen  140k

It's really chaotic right now - the 30cm gap between the rail and the tables means it's cosy for the press, to say the least.

[snoopy1239]

Aprox chip counts for the non-tv table:

Mark Scher Petersen -- 230k
Thomas Holm -- 320k
Richard Toth -- 500k
Anton Smolyanskiy -- 190k
Ingemar Jönsson -- 230k
Simon Mycock -- 25k
Theo Jorgenssen -- 155k
ElkY -- 180k

And the TV table:

Samir Shakhtoor -- 225k
Erik Lindberg -- 265k
Alexandre Poulain -- 120k
Cole Morrow -- 155k
Tobias Persson -- 80k
Anders Wijk -- 420k
Magnus Peterssen -- 580k
Jan Sjavik -- 160k

[snoopy1239]

And as soon as we reconvene, we lose yet another in Tobias Persson, who made a move with King High, but was looked up by big stacker Magnus Peterssen.

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

Meanwhile, on the outside table, Betrand 'ElkY' Grospellier has doubled up through Ingemar Jönsson, who is down to the felt as a consequence.

On the K-9-8 Flop, Ingemar bet out, ElkY moved all-in, leaving Ingemar to call was an almost obligatory call.

J-Q vs a set of Eight.

The 9 on the Turn gave Elky the Full House, but Ingemar wasn't dead, still alive he made a somehwhat hopeful gutshot straight flush draw.

Funnily enough, it failed to develop allowing ElkY to shoot up to 350k.

Simon Mycock is OUT in 16th place, winning €12,983

Super short stack Simon was all-in blind, against Thomas Holm's ...

He turned over the , saying "Yes!" and it was suited with the .

Flop:
Turn: 
River: 

"Good game, everyone," said gentlemanly Simon as he made his way to the rail. 

[Djinn]

Anders Wijk gets busy on the TV Table News Now:

Twice he's moved all-in over the top of a limper/preflop raiser and got them off their hand.  The most recent time Magnus Petersson raised to around 90k and then passed to the all-in move.  Thomas Kremser said, and I think by 'he' he meant Anders, "He shows Nine Ten of hearts..."  That got a round of applause from his vocal support crew.

[Djinn]

Short stack Jan Sjavik also managed to get Petersson to lay something down, although it can't have been much...

Then Alexandre Poulain gets it all in with a call holding against what I think must have been for Anders Wijk (our live feed might as well be to News 24):

Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

And a relieved Alexandre sits back down.

[Djinn]

Now it's Samir Shaktoor's turn to put the pressure on Anders Wijk preflop, moving in and causing a troubled dwell, complete with pause with finger in the 'launch cards into the muck' position.

Snoopy's in the tournament area while I get to try to decipher what's going on on the Feature Table.  15 minutes left until the end of play today...
