does no one have any class any more?

Well, Jen and I like to think we do. What are you saying?

[Djinn]

On a board of it's been double-check to in-position Tim, who in the hand previously gave his opponent a free card to suck out on the river, and doesn't look overly keen on making the same mistake again.  Nope - a bet takes it for him there...
____________________________________

Tim raised to 140k preflop and they see a flop of .  Check to Tim, who bets 200k and here comes an entirely unexpected check-raise to 400k.  Which Tim calls quickly.  The audience actually claps at this point.
Turn:   check... ... ... check
River:   All in from Tim, a very impressive frown on Soren's face leads to a dwellette... and a CALL!

Now it's Tim fist-pumping and shouting and drifting round and round the table like he's on a scalextrix track... which means he's just doubled through!

It appears Soren hand - that's two pair on the turn, when he checked and Tim made his Flush on the river. 

[Djinn]

Chip standings:

Tim Vance - 3,730,000 
Soren Jensen - 870,000  and a face like someone just keyed his car, nicked his cat, wiped his ipod and kicked him in the shin.

[Djinn]

Soren, now on the back foot, and kicking himself for the apparent "two mistakes" he's made, is looking in a raising mood - that 800k or so determined to make its way in there even if it takes an all-in bet out of turn like he made on the first hand.... 

[Djinn]

Tim Vance raises to 200k preflop and sure enough Soren Jensen's stack goes in.  He needs to call the extra 600k for a chance to knock out his Danish opponent, who remains completely mute, only shaking his head when asked if he can beat an Ace.  Well, if he thought he meant, "Can you beat an Ace if one flops..."

Tim shows
Soren shows

Flop: 
Turn:
River: totally irrelevant

Double up to 1,600,000 for Soren, while Tim apologises to himself, his hat, and repeats, "Badcallbadcallbadcall..."

[danafish]

The Hand We Thought Was Going To Be The End But Wasn't:

[Djinn]

Tim bets 120k on a flop of , and wins.  It feels like we've just turned back time half an hour.

EPTlive quote of the hour, "At least it's going to change people's perceptions of Scandinavian players."

Which is colder Copenhagen or Waterford?

We've spent nearly all of our time in the exceptionally well-heated Casino Copenhagen, or our exceptionally well-heated hotel room, so we're not sure.  But during one brief moment of walking down a road looking for a taxi last night at 4am we felt the full power of the frozen winds which is like when you open the freezer.  It was intense.  Last time I was here everything was covered in snow, though.  Is there snow in Waterford?

Snoopy tells me there isnt snow, therefore there isnt. After all, he's my boss.

Its not fair really, he bullies me and calls me McLovin and tells me what the weather is. I'm not allowed decide for myself, weep.

I'm glad Tim Vance doubled up, he drinks a glass full of orange. I like orange.

Although my fav colour is blue
