EPT COPENHAGEN - MAIN EVENT - FINAL DAY

[snoopy1239]

Another battle of the blinds scenario.

Hilm and Skjervold see a cheap flop.

As

Check, check.

Very exciting!



Skjervold bets 15k, Hilm smooth calls.



Skjervold bets again, Hilm calls with .

No raise on the turn? Very cheeky. In fact Hilm is playing this whole final very cheekily. Very cheeky indeed. Cheeky, cheeky, cheeky.

Looks like Hilm is the cheeky chip leader now.

They have now stopped for a short break.

Also being played is the 10,000 Krome freezout.

Bizarrely, Edgar Skjervold is also entered in this comp, even though he's playing the main event.

He's just ran down to save his dwindling stack.

I guess a poker player never rests.

Snoops' turn to brave the heaving arena... he's armed with a camera (courtesy of Stephen) and we'll be hopefully bringing you pictures from the final shortly.

Gooo Anina - and photo's please

To tide you over while you're waiting - Chinese-born Shek Chi Hung (who speaks no English so we're pleased PokerStars found this out for us) who played aggressively the whole way through (a bit of an any-two type) went out on his stated favourite hand - 10 J offsuit.  He's a regular on the Danish poker circuit who was always going to bust SOMEONE from the final...

[Djinn]

Double up for Marcus Gonsalves - The 21-year-old onliner moved in on the cutoff for the 120k-ish he had left with A7.  He probably wasn't thrilled when Philip Helm called with AQ, but the 7 on the turn increased his stack to more healthy proportions and he can relax a bit.

Total Norwegian Pokerholic News Now -

Edgar Skjervold is still in both comps, and is now running back and forth from the TV table to the littler comp, most recently pushing all-in in the £1,000 one with AQ against fellow Norseman's 99 and spiking the Queen to get him over 20k.  That must take some doing with all the wires and stuff to remove every time he leaves the Set...

[Djinn]

Edgar just doubled through off Philip in rather surprising fashion - looks like my picks are spot on

Philip raised to 40k, Edgar called in the big blind. 
Flop: K 3 4 (rainbow)   and guess what?   It went check, check.

Turn: 7  Philip bet 65k, and called when Edgar pushed all-in for 189k, and eventually Philip called.

Philip:  KJ
Edgar K7!  (and that seven on the turn looked so brick-y)

Edgar up to 600,000.

The Press Gang hard at work.  Well, just Stephen in the foreground. I think Blondeite Davore is playing on his portable Playstation in the background.

Wormster and the lovely Rhowena playing the old waiting game... as usual. 

Quote from Rolf Slotboom sitting beside me: "Dave's a lucky woman". 

Slip of the tongue there mi thinks.

Anina Gundesen OUT in 6th place, winning £36,568

Philip raised under the gun to 40k, raised to 80k by Anina on the button.  He called.

Flop:      Check, bet, re-raise all-in from Philip, which Anina called, showing QJ - but Philip had KQ and the rags on the turn and river sealed her fate.

I don't think Snoopy will cry about it for long, somehow....put the condiments away
