chipcount?

We'll give it a go, but can't get anywhere near the final...

I know that Alexandre Poulain just exited in 6th place, winning DKK 663552 = €89,028

Very short stacked, he made his last stand with K-7, called by two others.  It was Bertrand's A-Q which took that pot down, eliminating the other French finalist...

Samir Shakhtoor is OUT and becomes the 5th place finisher winning DKK 843,264 (€113,142)

And as soon as we lose Poulain, another man falls, and this time it's Samir Shakhtood.

Poulain may be gone, but his countryman is stil running well, especially since he just eliminated the Swede with Queens versus A-3.

The crowd cheered as the first card revealed was an Ace, but as the dealer fanned them out, it was ElkY who had the last laugh as a third Queen reared its head.

Samir had a backdoor flush draw with his 3, but it never arrived as the board brought...

two spades

Down to 4.

Bertrand Grospellier  1,285,000
Magnus Petersson   588,000
Theo Jorgensen     436,000

Elky raises to 35k, Theo calls in the small blind.

Flop:  check-check
Turn:    check-check
River:    check, ElkY wins with a 45k bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Richard raises to 116k preflop, Bertrand re-raises to 285k total. 
4-3-J flop  ch-ch
Turn   Richard checks, ElkY bets 250k, Richard quickly says, "call."
River:    Richard checks, Elky moves in.  BIG pot now.  Richard, understandably, takes his time.  Bertrand takes two sips of water.  Call.

Bertrand shows 5-7  for the rivered gutshot(!)
Richard mucks. 
"Game of skill," says Rolf.

What is it with that hand?

Now everyone's a comparative short stack to chip monster ElkY - going to be some all-ins, like that of Theo Jorgensen (240k or so), eventually called by Richard after another long think.
Theo shows .  Richard is probably regretting that call.
Richard:

Flop: 
Turn:    what a draw Richard Toth has picked up (Theo says, "pair the board!")
River:    (The poker gods are amusingly cruel sometimes).

So a brief swearword later, and Theo Jorgensen exits in 4th place, winning DKK 1022976 = €137,254

Little blinds-nicked or flops-taken-down pots:
Magnus Petersson       II
ElkY                          I


Richard raises to 45k, Magnus calls.
Flop:   Magnus checks, Richard checks.
Turn:    Check, Richard bets 75k...
It's his.

Magnus raises preflop to 45k, Richard pops in a big stack of pink 10k chips... It's his.

Looks like Richard's got the upper hand of him twice in rapid succession - is the quiet Swede going to get some back?

John Duthie has taken over on the Final Table mic... and what a pot to announce.  Magnus comes over the top of Richard, all-in preflop.  It's a hefty 230kish for Toth to call, but call he eventually does.

Magnus: Two Clubs  (!)
Richard:    (or Ace something else small, 6, 7, some raggish kicker).

Flop:  Two Diamonds

And Magnus Petersson doubles up to over 800k, having well and truly dropped the hammer!

ElkY nicks some blinds.  Or, as John Duthie puts it, "takes down the pot."
A couple more hands see a 45k raise with a call, but no further action post flop apart from check-bet-pass.  Now that the chips have evened up, it looks like the game could seriously slow down.

Here's one that got a little further:
  Magnus checks, Richard bets 70k, there's a call this time...
Turn:  three diamonds  Magnus checks, Richard bets 120k.  Magnus raises all-in.  Richard dwells.  Unlike a lot of players who seem to only really give it the Hollywood when they're trying to cover up an obvious monster, or stall before passing, Richard's made the post-think call twice already on the TV Final.  But not this time - the pot goes to Magnus Petersson.

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 = three diamonds

They see a limp-check flop: ElkY checks, Magnus bets 30k, call.
Turn:    ElkY checks, Magnus bets 60k and wins it.

Chips now 1.5 mil to Magnus, 2.5 mil to Bertrand.

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.
