Pokerstars.com Baden EPT: Final - At A Glance

[NoflopsHomer]

Looks like Vladmir is now on around 1.4 million chips, about half the chips in play.

[danafish]

Thomas Fuller shoves, but just takes the (admittedly fairly hefty) blinds.

[danafish]

Then next hand, Vladimir raises, and again Fuller shoves. "That's a man who's got Aces," says Floppy. There is some Poleschuk consideration, before a slightly reluctant call. It's not Aces though.

Vladimir -

Fuller -

Board -

Looks like someone's not paying those Dark Forces enough. Double up for Thomas Fuller.

[NoflopsHomer]

A quick flash of the chip counts, guestimates on my part:

Vladmir -- 1 million
Julian -- 727,000
Demes -- 520,000
Thomas -- 447,000
Thierry -- 168,000

[danafish]

It's been a while since we had an exit. 10 minutes at least. Oh no, actually, another one has bitten the dust!

Thomas Fuller raised from the button, and Thierry Van Der Berg shoves. After some minor deliberation, Fuller calls.

Fuller -

Van Der Berg -

Board -

Which means that Thierry Van Der Berg is OUT in 5th place winning €132,900.

[danafish]

Blinds are 6k/12k with a 1k ante, by the way. Average stack is 705k.

[NoflopsHomer]

Here's a few shots of our final four.

[NoflopsHomer]

Vladmir limps, Thomas Fuller raises to 47k, Julian Thew re-raises 65k more from the big blind. Thomas calls.



Check check.



Julian bets 90k. Thomas really thinks for a while. And then lays it down, and Julian takes a 330k pot.

[danafish]

Just 100k difference between Vladimir and Julian's stacks now after that last big pot.

[NoflopsHomer]

flop between small blind Demes and big blind Julian, again checked-down to the river, where Julian's King High is good.

[danafish]

After a small blind limp from Vladimir and a big blind check from Thomas Fuller, the flop comes down . Vladimir check-calls Fuller's 15k bet. They both check the turn, and then also check the river (although Fuller looks a bit like he wants to bet it).

Fuller shows 6-5 to take the pot.

[danafish]

Haven't heard much lately from Hungarian non-wrestler the Great Kalo, but he now hands a few chips to Vladimir.

Kalo calling Vladimir's raise, the two of them see a flop, which they both check. When Vladimir bets the turn, Kalo quickly gives it up.

[NoflopsHomer]

Julian bets 25k on the river, Sverre states Julian is betting a Nine or a rivered 6. Denes calls. "King high" says Mr Yo-yo, Denes shows a Seven for the pot.

[NoflopsHomer]

Chip Counts:

Julian Thew -- 823,000
Vladmir Poleschuk -- 871,000
Thomas Fuller -- 602,000
Denes Kalo -- 538,000

[danafish]

And with continued involvement in the game, like he's properly woken up now, Denes Kalo finds himself in a hand with Vladimir Poleshchuk again. Not that it does him any good - when Vladimir bets 40k on the river of a board, Kalo folds.
