I feel like puking

Poor Dan. So unlucky!

Dan Carter finishes in 12th place winning €40,100....

JC was on the scene for a quick chat, but he has some money to get and some shrugging at fate to do before we'll get to ask him what his thoughts are. 

[Mango99]

Dan folded 99 in that hand. Hard fold?

Insta-call if Gulunay doesn't shove behind. Hammer shoves any pair and any two cards higher than a Ten.

Aye, but Gulunay did shove. I mean is it a hard fold after he shoves? I think it's probably quite easy.

Anyway, kind of irrelevant now

Not really hard fold if you give them credit for know you have a tight image.

Bad luck Dan.

[taximan007]

So cruel.

But fair play to the other guy, won it with dignity, NO whooping and hollering when the Ace hit.

[Laxie]

Unlucky Dan   

Is it just me, or does that Johannes Strassmann lad look a bit like Doogie Howser, MD?

Hi - Steve Jelinek here. Just got back to the hotel after some heavy Germanic type food at a local hostelry. Was very happy to get where I got (31st) considering I had 3 huge 50/50s in the tournament and lost the lot - you have to win a race at some point in these things to go deep.

1st day i had 50k early and lost a 60k+ pot to Maz when i was slight favourite.
End of 2nd day i lose qq to ak otherwise I'm well over 100k.
Today i push with   utg. Guy calls all in for his tournament with   . I thought that was a shocking call at the time, but having read the other updates maybe not!

Anyway I live to fight with the scandies at Copenhagen next month. Tom - I had 88 in the hand you questioned earlier.

Easy,

Steve

Poor Dan.

Due to restrictions on the press, I couldn't get too close to the table during Dan's final moments but here he is shortly after his exit, shaking hands and preparing to leave the table.



I got a super-quick chat with him as he de-miked, and went to pick up his not inconsiderable but probably should be much larger pay check of €41,100 for his 12th place finish.

"Bad luck Dan"

"They don't always hold up..." he told me sounding understandably a little dejected...


Hopefully once he's had time to reflect he'll be proud of his great performance in a very strong field. All his fans including us are.

Here he is de-miking.

Thanks very much for all the support guys.

Even if you play really well, you have to be so lucky to have all your hands hold up. I am obviously feeling very sick since the final table money would have meant a lot more to me.

Still, €41,100 is a nice paycheck and I should be grateful I'm doing this for a living and that €41,400 is 2 years wages to some people.

Well I guess venting a bit on here makes me feel better and my paycheck should keep the sponsors happy

I've recently qualified online for 2 EPT's (Warsaw and San Remo) so I should be back for more!!!!!!

[Tractor]

WP and very unlucky, GL with the two more epts in the pipeline.

I was just estimating Tyler Friedrich's chip stack at around 100k after he'd embarked on a hand against Diego Perez Marco, when he called a bet on a flop of:
, bringing the .  A very slow and deliberate check, a very slow and deliberate bet by Marco of 30k, a pretty quick check-raise all in from Friedrich and an instacall!

Friedrich showed: 
Marco showed: 

There couldn't have been a more perfect action turn card than that.  It's like today wasn't meant to go on until 3am or something.

So Tyler Friedrich finishes in 11th place, winning €41,100....

An interesting hand pans out between Daniel Ryan and Johannes Strassman.

Strassman raised only to run into a re-raise from Daniel Ryan.

He considered this for a short time....BEFORE PUSHING!

Ryan had a tough decision on his hands and went deep into the tank considering his options.

After some time of Ryan leaning back in his chair and shuffling his chips, Strassman began to talk with him. "If I were you, in your position I would fold. I want you on the final table as you are my friend!

Take your time, take an hour if you like!"

"I don't need that long buddy!" said Ryan, laughing. Ultimately though, he folded saying "I hope you don't have tens or nines!"

He revealed that he had passed A-J, whilst Johannes simply told him "I wasn't bluffing!"


Meanwhile Bulgarian player (not Russian as earlier claimed) Alexander Milanov is seen passing K-6 on an turn to the aggressive German Andreas Gulunay's allin bet. Passing two pair to an aggressive player? hmmm...but was it correct???

Unfortunately for him, it wasn't as Milanov showed for a mere top pair...

He'll never be able to afford that new Harley if he keeps laying down hands like that!

Danny Ryan gets it all in pre, calling for his whole stack in the blind, it looked like, as Johannes Strassmann makes a very large move on the button - he was probably a lot less than delighted when he found Ryan calling with leaving his looking in poor shape.  They stood up and...

Flop: 

Turn:    A very slight frown and ensuing calm descent from the TV table as the River: comes down signalling a very similar demise to that Dan Carter suffered earlier.  He finishes on the Final Table Bubble Bubble (they are consolidating to one table until Nine become Eight which will return to be filmed tomorrow), winning € 52,200.
