EPT Copenhagen - FINAL DAY - Interactive

Richard Toth is OUT and becomes the 3rd place finisher winning DKK 2,308,608 (€309,773)

ElkY raised pre-flop, Richard announced "all-in" and ElkY swiftly called.

ElkY =

Richard =

Board =

I think Richard lost the plot slightly and never quite recovered from the 2-7 bear, even muttering about it to his railer as he exited.

Bit of a debate here in the pressroom.

If you were Magnus with the 7-2, would you rather reveal your hand or muck?

While the final two are on a break, a totally irrelevant anecdote of Snoopy idiosyncrasy -

Rolf took us out for dinner at the truly lovely Blue Elephant Thai restaurant.  We got to the stage where we were ordering drinks, and while the rest of us ordered tea and coke, Snoopy got out the cocktail menu.  When the waitress arrived, he pointed at a picture of a coconut with a cocktail umbrella in it and ordered the "Fresh Young Coconut."

"You know the cocktail you just ordered," I said.
"Yeah."
"It's a coconut with a straw in it."
"No, it's a cocktail in a coconut."
"No, it's a coconut."
He stopped the waitress.
"Excuse me, but the drink I just ordered, does it have alcohol in it?"
"No," she replied.  "It's a coconut."
"Can I change it to a Mai Tai?"
"Yes."
When it arrived, complete with garnish of pineapple and a fresh flower on a stick, the waitress tried to put it in front of me.

Then, when we ordered food, he asked for the dessert menu.  It was pink.  He had a big ice cream sundae.  It should have been pink.

Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier -- 2,675,000

The two players check a cheap Flop.

Turn = and ElkY bets out 100k, a figure which is swiftly called by Magnus.

River =

ElkY bets out 200k, Magnus makes it 400k and ElkY makes an instant fold, his fingers firmly shut in the cookie jar.

[Djinn]

ElkY raises to 70k, call.

Flop:  check-check
Turn:  check-check
River:    check a final time to ElkY who bets 70k, call.  Magnus gets to see the (winning) Ace in Bertrand's hand...

A few more hands progress their slow way to the flop (not a lot of raise-re-raise type stuff going on), but a 70k bet from one or the other of them is usually enough to end it and move on.

Chips more even than when they started, however.

[snoopy1239]

Flop =

check, check

Turn =

Magnus bets 70k, ElkY makes it 200k and Magnus calls.

River =

Magnus checks, ElkY bets 300k and, after some momentary deliberation, Magnus calls.

ElkY wins the pot with T-9, Magnus mucks.

[Djinn]

ElkY makes it 70k to go...call.
Flop:    Magnus checks, ElkY bets 100k.  Slow deep reach, and Magnus puts in 150k on top.  It's called.
Turn:    Magnus moves two big pink stacks with slightly shaky hands - 400k.  Bertrand gets out of the way.

[snoopy1239]

It appears as though ElkY is down to 800k, meaning Magnus has a massive chip lead with 3 million 200k.

[Djinn]

Big Hand:

It gets to the flop, as per usual - .  The press room thinks Magnus Petersson might like it.  The betting remains slow, with ElkY betting the turn and getting called by Magnus.
River:    Now it took off - Magnus bet 80k, ElkY raised to 220k, Magnus moved all-in, and got a call.  And this all in the time it took for Bertrand Grospellier to raise an eyebrow... he showed , but Magnus had and had rivered his way to a double up.   The tables have turned completely, and ElkY's not looking like a happy bunny.

[snoopy1239]

ElkY raises to 85k, Magnus adds 150k more, ElkY folds.

Not looking good for the Frenchman.
