First hand - pretty much biggest pot of the tournament...

Magnus Petersson raised preflop (as you might do with ) and found Anders Wijk making the all-in re-raise again...this time it was with and the Kings stayed nicely ahead, giving Magnus a stack of 840k+ right at the start of the day.  That must be a nice feeling.

[Djinn]

With the blinds at 6k/12k ante 1k, Jan Sjavik's 120k or so wasn't looking too good - but he's just doubled up taking a gamble to get back in it...
Anders Wijk moved in with (although we didn't know that at the time), and Jan Sjavik kind of shrugged and called all in, with .
Flop: 
Turn:    ("six to split," says the helpful T.K.)
River: 

So Anders Wijk in a bit of trouble chipwise now.

[Djinn]

Double elimination!  And when I was down the hall!  It was all chugging along fine, and when I went back in they were hand for hand!
SO we've lost both Mark Secher Petersen and Erik Lindberg in one hand - Q-9 suited moved in (Petersen), over the top all-in from A-K (Lindberg) and wouldn't you know it, ElkY wakes up with .

No help from the board, and we have a new chip leader (probably) in Bertrand Grospellier, while  Mark Secher Petersen and Erik Lindberg finish in 12th and 11th spots respectively, winning €24,114 each.

[Djinn]

Jan Sjavik gets some chips -

Fold round (that doesn't take too long now they're five-handed) to his small blind, which he makes up.  Big blind Thomas Holm raises to what looks like 40-50k.  Jan performs the s.b. limp-reraise, prompting a frustrated countdown request from Holm and eventual release of his hand (Sjavik had around 170k more).  He even got a little round of applause. 

[Djinn]

Chip Count -

Table Petersson

Samir Shakhtoor    305k
Cole Morrow         180k
Anders Wijk          115k
Alexandre Poulain  135k
Magnus Petersson  460k

Table Sjavik

Jan Sjavik             130k
Thomas Holm        140k
Richard Toth         720k
Theo Jorgenson    330k
Bertrand Grospellier  1 mil, or very close...  (should really be table Elky)

[Djinn]

can u give some info about Richard Toth? TIA

Well, he won the Poker EM in 2006 (over €100k) as well as getting pipped to a bracelet in a WSOP event ($1,500 NL) and finalling at the Austrian Masters.  He's currently second in chips in this EPT Copenhagen Scandinavian Championships, and all through yesterday I thought he was wearing a bandanna when in fact it was a backwards baseball cap.  This made me instantly assume he was American, but he's apparently Hungarian.

That's all I know.

[Djinn]

Down to the final Nine -

We've lost one, and it's Jan Sjavik (so close to another final)- he pushed in again (determined to double or bust, it looked like) with K-5 suited, but it was bust, in the end, when Thomas Holm's 7-7 not only stood up but hit.

That makes Jan Sjavik the 10th place finisher, for €30,606

And that unfortunate bubble boy was Canadian youngster Cole Morrow, who finished in 9th position.

Moving in with the respectable holding of A-T, Morrow ran into the Big Slick of Thomas Holm.

Although both spiked an Ace on the Flop, the A-K stood up come the River.

Anders Wijk is OUT and becomes the 8th place finisher winning DKK 373,248 (€50,083)

Moving in over the top of Richard Toth's pre-flop raise, the Swede was dismayed to hear Toth announce an instant call, and even more chagrined to witness his A-J be demolished by the Hungarian's Pocket Kings, the Turn bringing a third cowboy on a 7-5-6-K-x board.

[Djinn]

Richard Toth raises, and Theo Jorgensen moves in for 85k - Richard probably has to call - yes, he calls
Theo shows: A-K
Richard shows:  Q-T

Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

Theo Jorgensen has doubled up to just under 200k.

[Djinn]

Richard Toth makes another preflop raise, this time finding a re-raise from Thomas Holm to 79k (from 33k).  Call.
Flop:    Richard checks, Thomas, after his regular 2 minute think, moves in - instacall.
Thomas shows: 
Richard shows: 

Turn:
River: 

So we've lost Thomas Holm in 7th position, winning DKK 525312 = €70,481

[Djinn]

Theo Jorgensen gets it all in on a flop, called by Samir Shakhtoor.  He doesn't mind - he has
Samir shows:  T-7 for top pair
The turn and river are K-Q, no change there, so Theo gets his second double.
