EPT COPENHAGEN - MAIN EVENT - FINAL DAY

[Djinn]

Phil and Mads get into a big hand on the blinds.  They see the  for cheap, but then the bets and raises go like this - Check from Phil, then bet, raise, re-raise and call, which ends up being 280k. 
The turn:  .  Phil checks, and Mads just goes all-in, but doesn't get called.  He just picked up close to 700k right there... the first big action in the last hour.

Mads Andersen is on a roll now.

Battle of the blinds.

Flop =

Mads checks, Marc Naarden bets 60k, Mads reraises 200k, Marc folds.

[snoopy1239]

There have been a few wagers within the Press Gang.

After Rolf plunged for Mads, I've been forced to change to Phil Hilm. Our Irish friend has chosen Dutchman Marc Naarden, just to try and take money off Rolf via his countryman.

After Mads latest flurry, my 100 Krone bet is looking shakey.

But that pint bet I had on Mads with the Danish journalist is still looking gooooooooooooood.

More River Shennanigans for Edgar Skjervold News -

When it passed to his small blind he moved in on big blind Philip Helm, who called, perhaps to his surprise, seeing as he held 78 offsuit and Phil had the A10.

Flop: 9 6 J
Turn: J
River: 5 - and there we have his double up.

[snoopy1239]

Miracle time.

Naarden limps for 40k under the gun.

Hilm moves all-in from the small blind with

Naarden calls with

Flop =

Naarden thinks about what colour his Ferrari is going to be.

Turn =

Naarden thinks about what colour his Porsche is going to be.

River = giving Hilm a miracle straight.

Naarden think about what colour his Skoda is going to be.

Ouch

With the blinds at 20,000 - 40,000 (this is really going on and on), Marc doubles up with 77 against Mads' A4 (that's the second time he's gone for it with this hand after raising initially - this time to 120k).

In Press Corner, every double up is met with cheers and boos as we've resorted to wagering on these guys to keep us from thinking about pizza..

Philip Helm is the fourth place finisher - picking up £51,195

Phil moved his depleted stack in on Mads' big blind... and got a call, which we were sort of expecting, from Mads with  . 
Phil's last hand: 

With no hit - Philip is walking off to the interviews

[snoopy1239]

And the chippy counts after that elimination are...

Mads Andersen -- 1,115,500
Edgar Skjervold -- 870k
Marc Naarden -- 800k

[snoopy1239]

Big battle in the blinds.

On a 7-5-4 flop, Mads bets 70k, Marc reraises 300k, Mads moves all-in, Marc calls.

Mads = 6-4
Marc = T-7

Turn & River = K-5

Marc doubles up.

Doesn't Mads know he could cost me 2 pints here?!

[snoopy1239]

Joe Hachem is chip leader in the 10,000 Krone event.

[Djinn]

Mads vs. Marc again - a non-threatening-looking  flop leads to an uncalled all-in from Mads, who is just as likely to win it as he is to just double up the others until he's out...

[Djinn]

Edgar 700k
Mads 300k
Marc  1.8 mil!  It's all change here...

[snoopy1239]

Shortstack Mads just doubled through Marc Naarden's Q-J when his 5-6 flopped a nut straight.

[Djinn]

It's Edgar's turn on the double-up merrygoround - he found  and a caller with  (Marc Naalden).  Two Jacks on the flop sealed the deal.  These players seem to be shifting the chips every five minutes, but with no elimination in sight. 

[Djinn]

ALL-CHANGE - the chips are wandering free -

Marc   831,000
Edgar  1,372,000
Mads   624,000
