Pokerstars.com EPT Warsaw: Day 3 - Interactive

[NoflopsHomer]

Day 3 then. 26 players remain, but with more than half of them starting with less than 100k and the blinds 2.5k/5k, expect the action to start fast and furious but then really slow down as we get close to the final table. Also, since there are no TV cameras here, the final will be 9-handed instead of 8.

Good Morning Warsaw ! Good Morning Updaters !

Who are your picks today ?? who may be skilled enough to win his seat at the final table ?

[Djinn]

Hello!

We're taking turns at the moment ferrying ourselves and our precious camera up and down the lift to the casino, so you get an exit courtesy of Homer and then one of my own to report...

On Table Homer:

OK this isn't an exit but it's worth reporting:  Janusz Petlic doubles through Sebastian Ruthenberg with vs. .

But this is:  Raul Paez Corral made his stand with , but the of Kenneth Hicks Jr. hit straight away like so:  .  Raul finished 26th, and play continued in the pretty intense atmosphere now surrounding the final three tables.  Pictured:  Kenneth Hicks, Jr. and in the white shirt just finishing his post-knockout interview, Raul.

[Djinn]

Then Andreas Hagen raises in early position to 16,500.  Neighbour Michael Schulze (both pictured) re-raises to 40k.  Back to the short-stacked Hagen, who says, uncharacteristically, "I can get lucky once.  I go all in."  Pretty much instacall from Schulze: on their backs!
Hagen: 
Schulze:

Flop: 
Turn:
River:

Handshakes all round and one of Homer's picks exits the comp in 25th...

[Djinn]

Good Morning Warsaw ! Good Morning Updaters !

Who are your picks today ?? who may be skilled enough to win his seat at the final table ?

I go for Claus Nielsen, Henrik Gwinner (he has an optimistic sounding name) and Sebastian Ruthenberg.

[jpean]

So, I'll choose the same than yesterday, Andy Black and Jean-Claude Perrot. As Third, I'll trust you Jen with Claus Nielsen, although none of your yesterday's are still alive

 

[NoflopsHomer]

Sebatian Ruthenberg, my remaining pick, manages to double up with against Piergiorgio D'ancona's .

Next Christoffer Sonnesson doubles up with against Kenneth Hicks Jr's .

Antonio Battisti flops a dream and gets all his chips in with against Dan B. Pedersen's on the turn to double up.

Trond Eidsvig doubles through Daniel Woolson, all-in on a board with vs , though the turn caused Trond to pull a face like this:



river, though and the inform Scandie stays in the comp.

Craig Hopkins lost a few chips earlier betting 18k on a board but folding to Ricardo Sousa's all-in with . He's been pushing a lot though and is yet to be called.

Just had word of two exits, Jen should be along shortly with the details.

[Djinn]

It's honestly an all-in a minute down there.  Lee Jones is doing a great job alerting us when one of the tables has such a press-worthy situation, so it's actually pretty exciting.  In my last stint at the tables I saw no fewer than three players eliminated:

1)  Andy Black

Really danger-short now, he moved in with and was called by the Apple Hopkins with his .  Hopkins was nearly as short as Black, so when the board came out by which time Andy was drawing dead, they needed to count down the stacks to ascertain that the eccentric player was actually out.  He was.  Pic:  Hopkins.

[Djinn]

2)  Dan Bitsch Pedersen

his final hand vs. the A-J of Jean Claude Perrot (pictured stacking with injured hand).  All low board (although a double straight draw on the turn which gave brief hope) meant that back to back exits nearly meant I left the room...



But I didn't which is lucky because right then Lee Jones announced, "Cooler on Table Two," which it was.  Trond had the , Henrik Gwinner picked up the - it all went in pre and Gwinner exited in 22nd.  Trond on the absolute tear now.

[jpean]

one of my choices is out

Do they know that they are allowed to play more than 1 hour to go down 9 players ?

[snowbed]

Spoke to the Apple this morning.

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together.

[NoflopsHomer]

Spoke to the Apple this morning.

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together.

Carnage candy!

First Sebastian Ruthenberg out Janusz Petlic with Nines vs Eights on a 6-high board.

Antonio Battisti busts Ken Hicks Jr with Jacks vs Nines.

Michael Schulze cripples Christoffer Sonnesson with vs on a board, all-in on the flop. Schulze then follows up and busts him with A-6 vs Q-4.



Craig Hopkins raises to 14k, Ricardo Sousa re-raises to 40k, folded back to Craig who moves in for another 81k. Ricardo calls with , Craig shows .



Craig Hopkins is out in 18th place. He's not too down though, "I had won three races earlier."





They're now redrawing for two tables.

[snowbed]

Unlucky Hops

At least you'll be able to watch the Gold Cup now!! (will you be able to watch it over in Poland?)

Thanks for the updates again guys and girls.

Top class as always

[Djinn]

With Sonesson falling in 17th, it was next the turn of Seppo Parkkinen (pictured with his initials helpfully on his hat, should it become misplaced).
He appeared to have waited until the flop: to move in (stop and go style, perhaps - missed initial round) called promptly by Ricardo Sousa.
Parkkinen: 
Sousa:

on the turn and river and he finishes 16th.  I don't think it's ever gone so fast on a Day Three.
