Jens Kyllonen Eliminated In 12th Position (€40,000)

[user76023]

A huge pot has caused the exit of former EPT Copenhagen winner Jens Kyllonen. The Finn raised to 60,000, Carter Phillips reraised to 175,000 from the small blind and Kyllonen quickly pushed for almost 1.4 million chips. Phillips snap-called.

Kyllonen: {J-Hearts}

Phillips:

The board was {10-Spades}

and Phillips had Kyllonen covered by about 400,000 to win the biggest pot of the tournament. Phillips is up to 3.1 million as a result, the new chip leader.

Chop It Up

[user46392]

On the feature table, Mihai Manole got the last of his chips in with {A-?}

and was called by Georgios Kapalas -- but Kapalas was also holding {A-?}

and following a flush-free board they chopped it up.

[user46392]

Play has really slowed down on the non-feature table, with the players out there apparently taking turns raising a standard 60,000 except for short-stacked Cornel Cimpan who periodically shoves for his last 190,000 or so.

Nobody has called anything on that table for at least 15 minutes now.

Nuijten Turning Up the Aggression

donpeters

There's not too much action going on at the outer table, but Julien Nuijten has been picking up the blinds and antes every hand it seems. He's opening with a very high frequency and no one seems to be fighting back. Every chip counts and Nuijten has increased to 1.6 million.

Aces for Asa

[user46392]

The very next hand after Georgios Kapalas called the clock on Asa Smith, Smith raised again, to 65,000. Kapalas put in a reraise to 158,000, and Smith shipped his whole stack across the line, a total of 484,000. A call from Kapalas, with surprising speed.

Kapalas: {6-Spades}

Smith:

Board:

A full double up for Smith to around a million through the shell-shocked Kapalas.

Nuijten and Phillips Spar

[user76023]

Carter Phillips raises to 55,000 from UTG, Julien Nuijent made the call from the small blind.

The flop is {K-Hearts}

, Nuijent checked to Phillips who bet 60,000 and Nuijent called.

Both players checked the {2-Diamonds}

turn and Nuijent fired out 150,000 on the {7-Hearts}

river. Phillips called and Nuijent flipped {J-Clubs}

but Phillips showed {K-Spades}

to take it down.

A couple of hands later and Phillips raised again to 55,000, this time Nuijent made it 135,000 and Phillips quickly folded.

Kapalas Calls Clock on Smith

[user46392]

Asa Smith made it 62,000 and Georgios Kapalas in the big blind was the sole caller; they saw a {3-Hearts}

flop which they both checked.

Come the {7-Clubs}

turn Kapalas bet out 80,000 and Smith called relatively swiftly; onwards.

They saw a dangerous-looking {8-Spades}

river and now Kapalas bet out a hefty 185,000. After less than two minutes, Kapalas rather ungenerously called the clock on the indecisive Smith. It came down to the last couple of seconds before Smith laid it down.

[user46392]

Marc Goodwin raised to 60,000 and Georgios Kapalas called behind. Matt Lapossie in the small blind came along for the ride too, and they saw a flop.

Flop: {3-Clubs}
