Pokerstars.com EPT Copenhagen Day 3 - Interactive

[danafish]

Morning all, welcome back for what is quite obviously if you were paying attention yesterday now Day 3 of the Scandinavian Open/ Pokerstars EPT Copenhagen. We have, of course, just 39 players left owing to the dramatic triple bubbling attempts last night, and will be playing down to an eight-handed final table today come what may, so Jen and I are praying for a massive explosion of the field resulting in an early hometime looking forward to a leisurely day of world class poker. Join us at Casino Copenhagen at 2pm Scandie/ 1pm UK time.

By the way, please note among those Mr Luca Pagano, his presence on the list meaning that he is the first person ever to cash eight times in an EPT. I'm obviously voting for Trond to win it though; take your picks now!

 ?? Already? Ok!

[Colchester Kev]

Runner runner son .... he has to win !

[danafish]

Don't forget Peter Peterson!

Anyway, we're here at the casino but there is absolutely no sign of them starting on time. Currently on the big screen in the press room - Thomas Kremser giving some sort of pep talk to the dealers. Watch this space!

[Djinn]

The TV table and eptlive multicommentaries are warming up, but so far there's no sign of the tournament actually starting.  Currently it looks like either all the televised table's players have decided independently to wear white shirts, black waistcoats and bow ties, or it is actually some kind of camera test involving dealers...

Yes, what she said. In the meantime, please enjoy this kitten:

Maybe it's like one of those logic puzzles like on the Krypton Factor? Like if one person wears a black waistcoast then the person to his left has to wear red trousers, or if the guy in seat five wears pink socks, the guy in seat nine has to put on a Godzilla mask.

I thought just now that all the remaining players were surrounded by some kind of Kremser-generated protective forcefield of invisibility, but in fact they have moved today from the ballroom to the casino. Never fear, there shall be updates! Any minute now.

[danafish]

Oh yes, and the final table will be 9 players, not 8, like I said. Sorry.

Sigh another tourney not starting on time...good thing the players didn't pay a fortune to play this one, eh?

[Djinn]

Actually, the cards have suddenly hit the air - we're off on Day Three - playing to the all-important final now that that pesky business of making the money is out of the way.  And here's what they could win (I feel like a gameshow host):

And players have wasted exactly no time in getting themselves involved, and in many cases, OUT.

First out was Mr Severin Hovde - I'm afraid I didn't see the hand, I just heard a bunch of clapping and saw him putting his coat on. Sorry.




Next, an incredibly lucky outdraw for yesterday's Crazy Man, Mr Soren Jensen - all in in with against Ulrik Pedersen's , with all the sighing and huffing you might expect would accompany that, the board comes a Jensen-friendly . Crazy Man is surprisingly subdued, merely staring wildly, with his wild crazy eyes.

Also OUT is the must-say-not-very-polite-to-innocent-updaters Alex Kravchenko, with against the of the dude being abducted below, French qualifier Nicolas Dervaux.

God help us, Tournament Mouths Rolf Slotboom and Tim Vance are on the same table.
