EPT Dortmund: Final Day - Interactive

[Djinn]

I think someone spiked Andreas' drink in the dinner break, as he's all chatty now.  His big blind gets raised in spite of his trying to make a deal: "If you flat call I promise I'll check blind."  He passes, showing a Deuce, sees the raiser's Ace and informs the audience, "An Ace is better than a Deuce in this game."
______________________________

Small blind Andreas makes up the small blind, but big blind Erik immediately pushes in.  Pass; another shown.

Seat 2: Erik Lindberg, 24, from Stockholm, Sweden
Erik started playing poker five years ago and turned pro soon after. He focuses mainly on 25/50 online Pot Limit Omaha cash games but has been to three EPTs - and the World Series three years’ running. Making today’s final table is his biggest success to date, but he also came 11th at the EPT3 Copenhagen in January to win €24,000

Christiano raises to 100k, all pass to Sebastian in the big blind who passes ....


Will that pass come back to haunt him?

________________________________________

Andreas raises to 77k, Christiano calls the extra 47k from the big blind.

Flop:



Christiano checks, Andreas bets 90k, Christiano calls. Andreas says, "Good call."

Turn:



Check check.

River:



Christiano bets 120k. Andreas says, "I hope you don't have anything because I have to call..." and he does.

Christiano shows:



Andreas:



A little whoop of delight from the cartoonish Norwegian, as he rakes in a pot of over half a million.

[Djinn]

Gunnar and Sebastian see a flop.  Check check
Turn:   Gunnar bets 60kk.  Sebastian calls quickly.
River:    Gunnar now bets 140k nd it looks like Sebastian picks off another Gunnar bluff (with Ace high) holding for two pair.

[NoflopsHomer]

Following that, Sebastian raises to 80k from the cut-off, Christiano calls from the button. Gunnar calls from the small blind and Andreas sizes it up and calls. Big pot of over 300k now.

Flop:



Gunnar and Andreas checks, as does Sebastian after a dwell. So does Christiano.

Turn:



Checked around:

River:



Checked again. Christiano's Ace high surprisingly takes it down.

"You raised without Ace High? You're a bad bad boy." Andreas tells Sebastian.

[Djinn]

Erik moves in preflop, Christiano wants a countdown.  It's under 300k

Time ticks tensely by.

Flop: 
Turn: 
River: 

So Erik Lindberg finishes in 6th place, winning €109,000

[NoflopsHomer]

Thomas, who finished 8th, has just arrived in the pressroom, he rates Christiano, saything that although he may be a relative newcomer to the game, he seems naturally very aware and perceptive of all that is happening.

Christiano folds, Gunnar shows the .

[Djinn]

Thomas Fougeron just stopped by the press room with plenty of good humour about the final and his tournament experience.  As for the bluff+call scenario, he just says, "That's poker."  A healthy attitude and a nice guy; always good to see someone taking it easy when they've busted.

Jen and Homer, what are your guys picks from the remaining players?

Jen and Homer, what are your guys picks from the remaining players?

As perennial underdog supporters, we're sticking with Andreas Hoivold. He's funny and is keeping some humour at the table, whereas as everyone else is fairly serious. He's also the only non-shades wearing player, which has nothing to do with it.

He's also just pushed all in...

[Djinn]

Christiano Blanco gets the first walk of the final.

Table time:

Preflop Raiser                       Times blinds (20k/40k ante 4k) nicked
Sebastian Ruthenberg                                   I  (+1xwalk)
Jacob                                                           I
Andreas pushes again (for 650)                       I plus Gunnar's raise to 100k

And Gunnar passed.

Now Sebastian's 100k raise is re-raised to 200k by Gunnar Rabe and Sebastian passes.

[NoflopsHomer]

Andreas makes it 106k, saying "Six is my lucky number."

Jacob re-raises all-in. Andreas says, "Can he do that?"

Andreas calls.

Jacob has

Andreas has

Andreas says, "May the best hand win..."

Flop:



"I don't want a King, pair the board."

Turn:



River:




Andreas has Jacob covered, which means Jacob Rasmussen is OUT in 5th place winning €139,000

Andreas has 1.1 million chips now.
