EPT Warsaw: Final - Interactive

Great news for Conroy fans!!!

John has trebled up.

He moved all-in with Tens, only to be called in two spots by Peter Jespen and Farid Meraghni.

Both players checked the Flop, before Farid bet 25k on the Turn with K-J.

Jespen folded.

River =

John takes the pot.

Prior to that 'big hand', there was very little action with most pots going raise, fold, fold, fold... However, although on paper it may sound boring, it has actually been relatively entertaining to watch due to the broad range of characters at the table.

At the moment, the current chattiness ratings are as follows.

(1) John Conroy
(2) Frederik Holstrup
(3) Peter Willers Jespen
(4) Katja Thater
(5) Andrew O'Flaherty
(=6) Farid Meraghni, Patric Martensson & Marius Torbergsen

Those three players are equal last because they haven't said a single word between them.

To give you an example of the banter...

Peter: "It's just you and me Katja who haven't won a hand"
Katja: "What shall we do about it?"

Moments later, Katja wins a hand with an uncontested pre-flop all-in.

Frederik: "Do you feel all alone now, Peter?"

[snoopy1239]

The very next hand after that all-in, Katja made it 30k to go in early position only for Frederik to raise it up to 85k.

After a cold stare from Katja, Frederik politely commented, "Oh Katja, I wouldn't do that to you."

"Are they suited?" asks Katja.

"No", replies Frederik in a flash. "This would be a big fold for you, you've given me a lot of chips there."

At this moment, the tension built as Katja seriously considered moving in. Frederik wet his lips, before rifling his chips. This was alternated with fiddling with his cards, crossing them over with each other whilst hovering them an inch off the felt.

"I will show," added Frederik.

After a while, Katja folded and Frederik did indeed show and they were indeed unsuited as he revealed .

Clearly enjoying the spotlight, and perhaps relaxed as the shortstack (not too many decisions to make when you're that low), John was very boyant during the early stages of this final (pre-treble up) and came across as a very laid back chap. Plenty of banter with his opponents, predominately made up of psychological warfare disguised as humour regarding the stealing of blinds. In one conversation with Frederik, the Dane offered a deal in which "I won't steal your blind and you won't steal min. "That sounds reasonable," replied a seemingly thankful John. However, the deal was smashed to smithereens when two hands later, the Scandinavian raised it up on John's big blind. "How much do you have?" joked John before confessing to being mischievous and briskly mucking.

Frederik showed 5-4s.

Conroy makes it 28k from the cut-off. Marius calls in the big blind.

Flop:



Marius checks, Conroy bets 45k, Marius makes it 125k, Conroy moves all-in instantly. Marius dwells a little but calls the extra 50k fairly quickly.

Marius:



John:



Turn:



River:



And a boated-up Conroy is up to over 450k, and the guy I tipped is now short with about 120k.

Just spoke to Brit (well, half) Andy O'Flaherty. He's remaining philisophical at the moment (I barely know what that means, but it sounds intelligent), commenting that he's had very few hands, the exception being a pair of jacks which won him the pot with a pre-flop re-raise.

"It's going pretty slow at the moment, but it's all about survival, plenty of time still," added the Dubliner now residing in Leeds.

go on jon my son

They've reached the end of Level 16 and are currently colouring up the chips, but there was a small hand just prior to that.

Frederik raised to 18k pre-flop and received two calls from both blinds, Farid (small) and Katja (big).

Flop =

The blinds check and Frederik bets 23k. Farid calls. Katja folds.

Turn =

check, check

River =  (followed by an inexplicable gasp)

check, check

Farid takes it down with Pocket Sevens.

"Nice hand," approves Frederik rather bitterly.

marius isnt talking so much now as he is recovering from a heavy training session last night

when it gets 4 handed he will open up with the banter


come on marius do this for your fans

[LLevan]

Good luck today to John "Punkfloyd" Conroy.................following an excellent showing at Walsall maybe today will be the day..................1 early double up and he's definetely in with a chance.

Treble up followed by near double up must put him in a great position to start changing gears and boss the table................

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PUNKYWhat a feeble attempt to make the font bigger..................answers on a postcard please of how to go largeeeeeeeeeee

[snoopy1239]

A quick glance at the Brit/Irish chips tells me that John has 440k and Andrew has 185k.

Frederik raises to 35k on the button. Peter wakes up and makes it 205k. Frederik dwells for so long that I think he's going to call, but no, he passes.


Next hand Peter makes it 30k from the button, Andy passes his , (Lee Jones says, "Right cards, wrong table."), Peter shows .


This is then followed by Marius pushing two hands in a row, swelling his stack from 112k to 158k.


Peter limps, and Patric checks the big blind and then check/calls Peter's 30k bet on the board, before folding to Peter's all-in on the turn.
