Pokerstars.com Baden EPT: Day 3 - At A Glance

[danafish]

Former chip leader Acar Mazlum has dropped a good few chips to Jiri Vacek.

With a bunch of preflop raising and calling, the flop came down with three players in. Daniel Mangas checked, and Vacek bet 20k. Acar raised - I believe he intended to raise a bunch more than he did, but failed to announce the amount so it was taken as a min raise. Vacek now moves all in for another 44.6k, and Acar calls.

Vacek - - "Oh, very nice," murmurs Acar as he turns over his

Acar - 

Turn -

River -

And Vacek beats the table in an ungentlemanly manner. He apologises afterwards though. Acar is unconsoled.

It wasn't actually Vacek but Denes Tamas Galo of Hungary who had the King Ten and benefitted from the string-re-raise. He has over 200k and is vying with Sonnelin for the chip lead.

27 left, 24 get paid, 100k average stack, blinds still 1.5k/3k with a 300 ante.

Our friend Mr Hammer is unlikely to go out on the bubble now - he just took out Acar Mazlum, who had another accident with Aces.

I'm guessing the money went in after the flop as Hammer was holding, er, 9-4. It looked like two Nines on the flop, and another one on the river for QUAAAAADS!!!!! (ahem) has put him in a not-bad position with 26 left and hand-for-hand now in place until we reach the money.

[danafish]

No! Stop!

[NoflopsHomer]

And the bubble is over after just two hands, we had lost previously Gyoergy Moger in 26th before Heimo Krainer pushed all in for his last 16k over the top of David Sonnelin's 10k raise, Age Spets called and he and David checked down an board before David bet 15k on the river, Spets mucked his Ace Queen face up and David flipped a rivered set of Eights to take out the bubble boy (who also had Ace Queen).

Shortest. Bubble. Ever.

And now a short break.

Meanwhile a slight delay to the restart as the feature table area is being completely gassed with fly spray. There are absolutely THOUSANDS of them around.

Julian Thew is on 145k.

[NoflopsHomer]

Peter Gould, the other Brit still in has about 70k when last checked.

"A bit of deja vu here," I said, (he cashed in 12th last year here).

"I'm just hoping to go one better this time," he replied

[danafish]

Daniel Mangas is all in against Julian, Kings against Jacks. A Jack on the turn and Mangas is OUT. And Julian is UP. I think he might even be chip leader.

[NoflopsHomer]

Barry Greenstein's comments about Jules not being best suited to tournaments because he always has a hand...

Bless him. He doesn't know, does he?

[danafish]

On a flop that reads , Daniel Sonelin bets 5k. Age Spets, who's been short for a while, immediately moves all in for 23.7k total. Sonelin folds pretty quickly.

A tablemate enquires, "Aces?" "You think?" says Spets, turning over . "Next time I have Aces."

"That looks very strong, sir," replies the tablemate. "Where did you learn that?"

Guffawing ensues.

[danafish]

any updates on the gould?

Yes, I'm afraid he's just taken a big hit. Thierry Van Der Berg makes it 10k under the gun, and Gould reraises another 25k. Thierry now goes all in for another 30k or so, and Gould calls.

Someone is already saying to Van Der Berg, you have Aces? Indeed he does.

Van Der Berg -

Gould - 

"Good luck," says Gould, resignedly.

Board - - "Any old jack!" says Gould -

And Thierry Van Der Berg has doubled up, and Gould is now relatively short, well below the 122k average.

[NoflopsHomer]

Jiri Vacek is OUT, he doubled through David Sonnelin with Kings against Queen Ten, then a few hands later he raised to 11k from the cut-off with . Big blind Victor Goossen made it 35k with only about 16k behind with his and Jiri went for it.



Board:

.

Shortly afterwards Vacek was all-in blind with 9-3 again Thierry Van Der Berg's K-Q and was out soon after.

Our remaining other two tables





And as you might have seen from the live feed, Andreas Hoivold is OUT with his A-4 being gunned down by Gunnar Rabe's Cowboys.
