Pokerstars.com EPT Barcelona: Final Day - Interactive

[Djinn]

Sander Lylloff gets it all in preflop with against Greg Dyer's pushing ...
Flop: 
Turn:    ("Ooooh," go the audience, at the glorious possibilities...)
River: 

And a double through for the Danish player.

"Sander Lylloff is better known for backgammon than poker – in fact, some consider him one of the best players in the world. He took up backgammon after failing to get into university, and before that he was a junior chess champion. He's no stranger to EPTs and won a side event at the Monte Carlo Grand Final in Season 2. He and fellow finalist Mark Teltscher are room-mates here in Barcelona but claim there won't be a fight if one of them ends up busting the one!"

[Djinn]

Mika vs. Mark... three bets to get it all in on the turn, Mark Teltscher calling the final one which put him in, covered, with a board of:

for Mark
vs. for Mika

A lot of outs for the Finn, but the river is the doubling Mark Teltscher through.  "You had a lot of outs," he says, helpfully, as he stacks his stack which has regained Monster status.

[Djinn]

With 2,743,000 chips, Mark Teltscher is understandably in a preflop raising mood.

He just got involved with Greg Dyer, who promptly re-raised him 600k
He gets handed a slip of paper with the payouts on it while he considers his decision... and takes his sweet time in passing.  He's shown K-9 for his trouble by a stacking Greg.

Sander Lylloff raises under the gun to 60k; Mika Paasonen pushes all in.  He's the short stack, and he sees a threeway flop of:
 
Turn:    Sander and Greg Dyer check
River:    Sander checks, and Greg reaches for chips.  Mika paces, knowing this can't be good.... 60k gets rid of Sander and Greg shows

in Mika's hand so the river was the card which busted him...

Mika Paasonen finishes in 4th place, winning €301,000

Considering the final table started at 6.30pm, this must be the fastest EPT table I've seen since I started covering them.

Mark button raises to 65k, Sander folds, Greg makes it 200k. Teltscher calls.

Flop:



Check from Greg, Mark bets 300k, Greg calls.

Greg checks again, Mark says, "I'll just check if I have a heart," and promptly moves in. Greg nods and folds.

We had steak!

[NoflopsHomer]

Teltscher raises to 62k, Sander makes it 212k. Teltscher quickly calls.

Flop:



The ultimate raggy flop.

Sander bets 200k, Mark makes it 500k and Sander passes.

[Djinn]

The restart has seen a little more caginess, after a record-breakingly speedy decline of final table numbers.  Down to three so quickly, but these three don't look like the sort to just pass the blinds around for hours.  We hope.

   Check to Mark Teltscher who bets 32k, Greg Dyer calls.
Turn:    Greg checks, Mark checks.
River:    check-check   Greg's K-4 is good...

[NoflopsHomer]

Greg raises to 72k. Sander calls.



Sander checks, Greg says, "Eleven... I mean a hundred and ten" meaning 110k, Teltscher pulls him up and he's forced to bet the minimum 24k. Sander calls.



Sander checks, and Greg fires a proper big bet. 140k. Sander makes the call.



Greg bets 330k . Sander says, "Call." Greg nods and shows . Sander's pair of fives are good.

Greg is down to just 607k. But that's still enough to come over the top.
