Turn off the Lights and Lock the Doors; Day 1b is Over

Meet your Day 1b chip leader
Meet your Day 1b chip leader
We've got another long day of poker behind us at the EPT Copenhagen, and it was a fine day indeed. Another 232 players joined our field today to round out the total field at 423 runners, generating a total prize pool of about €1.9 million.

At the end of another eight levels, Ilkka Koskinen appears to have just pipped his way into the chip lead with 140,900. He's not in the clear by any means, though, as Team PokerStars Pro Sebastian Ruthenberg bagged up a barely-inferior 140,800. There are a number of dangerous foes hot on their heels as well, including the 128,300-chip stack of Peter Eastgate. Be that as it may, they're all still chasing Day 1a top dog Andrew Pantling.

The 138-ish players who survived this second flight will join our 113 Day 1a survivors as the entire field will convene under the same roof for the first time tomorrow. Day 2 figures to be another awesome day of cards as the field is still stacked with notable faces.

We'll be back at 2:00pm CET tomorrow, and we hope you'll join us once again. Until then, goodnight from Copenhagen!

Sebastian Crabbing Up the Board

A shocker.

Team PokerStars Pro Sebastian Ruthenberg has been working a middling stack all day, but a recent check-in finds that tide turning. Ruthenberg was collecting a pot as we walked up to his table, and it was a big one. We've got no details on the hand other than to tell you his new stack of close to 140,000 should put him close to the chip lead.

Six Pack

We've reached the magical ten-minute mark in Day 1b, and the clock has been paused. A six was drawn yesterday, and each table will play six more hands before the bags come out.

A New Leader

Paul Szyszko
Paul Szyszko
A player in late position was all in before the flop with pocket jacks, and Paul Szyszko made the covering call with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}, heads up with a chance for the knockout.

The flop was pretty dry as it came out {5-Spades} {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. The {10-Clubs} on the turn was a good miss for Szyszko as it gave him the flush draw to work with. Sure enough, a third club peeled off on the river, and Szyszko made his club flush to earn the knockout and the chip lead in the room. He's still stacking up the pot, but it appears he's pipped over the 140,000-chip mark.

Benelli Bullies Larsen

We joined the action on a flop of {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} {9-Clubs}. First to speak was Dan Larsen, and he fired out 4,000 chips at the pot. Andrea Benelli raised to 8,600, and that was enough to quickly fold the third player in the hand. Larsen wasn't so easily deterred though, matching the bet with a few more of his chips.

Fourth street brought the {6-Diamonds}, and Larsen passed this time. With a shrug, Benelli moved all in for 31,650 total, just a few thousand less than his opponent's covering stack. That move sent Larsen deep into the think tank, and he looked truly pained by his decision. It took several agonizing minutes before he finally released his cards, sending the pot over to Benelli.

Larsen leaves himself with about 34,000 chips with which to work.

Kurko of Life

Kimmo Kurko raised to 1,925 in the hijack and got looked up by Roberto Romanello on the button to see a {4-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Spades} flop. Kurko bet out 2,500 and Romanello, nonchalantly looking around the room, made the call.

They checked down the {5-Diamonds} turn and {5-Hearts} river and Romanello flipped {A-?} {J-?}, which was enough to beat Kurko's {K-?} {10-?} and put the entertaining yoyo-ing Welshman back up to 27,000 or so.

No feeling sorry for Kurko though! On 115,000, he remains one of our big stacks as we head towards bedtime...

The Proverbial Two Birds

The last hand of the last level saw a preflop raising war erupt at Table 38, leaving two players all in. It was two short-ish stacks at-risk, so the pot wasn't exceptionally big.

Stig Rossen: {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs} and the biggest stack
Daniel Kallenbach: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} and the middle-est stack
Ivar Vendelin: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} and the shortest stack

A huge crowd of spectators gathered around the table as the dealer ran out the board: {8-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}. Three kings beat two aces every day of the week, and Rossen's unlikely set earns him the double knockout. He's pushed his way up to about 120,000, now challenging for the Day 1b chip lead.
