Danish Waste-ry

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Theo Jorgensen
Theo Jorgensen

Theo Jorgensen has taken another big hit and is now down to just 11,200.

We caught the action on the turn, the board reading {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{k-Hearts}. Jorgensen bet out 5,000 - around a third of his stack - but was met with a raise to 25,000 from his opponent, effectively setting him in. Jorgensen tanked for some minutes, huffing and puffing and rubbing his temples, and announced something which was either in Danish or in English so heavily accented that it was impenetrable to our delicate ears, although it made some people at the rail laugh. He eventually folded {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} face up and is among our shorter stacks right now.

Four For Torres!

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Goaaaaal!
Goaaaaal!

Well at least there is one Torres (take THAT Chelsea fans) who isn't firing blanks. Jan Brandejs had opened to 1,000 and Victorino Torres reraised to 2,300 next to him. Everyone else folded and Brandejs made the call to see a {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {A-Spades} flop which both players checked. They also both checked the {K-Diamonds} turn for a {10-Spades} river where Brandejs fired out 3,700 but Torres now raised to 8,700. Brandejs instantly folded and Torres giggled, showing {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}...

Shot of Brandejs

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jan Brandejs might have been pleased with runner-runner trips after trying to bet his Seat 10 opponent off a flop with queen high, but it turned out to be costly for him.

It was probably looking bad anyhow as he bet 1,250 on a {2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop only to be raised by the button to 2,700. Back to Brandejs, who made it 6,400. This bet gave his opponent some pause for thought, but he called after a while.

Both players checked the {Q-Hearts} turn, and on the {Q-Diamonds} river, Brandejs led out 9,225. This was called so fast the felt nearly caught fire and his {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} was found to be lagging behind the nut flush - {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The winner of the hand was disappointed he'd been slowed down by the pairing board, but was in all probability not getting any more out of it.

Up & Down for Adeniya & Akenhead

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Martins Adeniya & James Akenhead
Martins Adeniya & James Akenhead

Start-of-day table neighbours James Akenhead and Martins Adeniya both found themselves rather short last level. They've enjoyed mixed fortunes since then.

Adeniya has reversed his downturn and is now up to a very respectable 50,000. Most recently, we found Adeniya check-calling a bet from his one opponent on a {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop before both players checked the {9-Spades} turn. They saw a {q-Spades} river and Adeniya now bet out 5,625, which his opponent called, but quickly mucked when Adeniya turned over {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a full house.

Meanwhile over on the next table James Akenhead seems to have completely disappeared. Conclusion - busto.

Matterning the Tide

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Arnaud Mattern
Arnaud Mattern

Three players remained in the hand when we arrived on the turn of the {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board and there was around 10,000 in the pot; all three players (two gentlemen in the small blind and UTG+1 positions respectively, and Arnaud Mattern in the hijack) checked it around.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and the small blind checked again. Mr. UTG+1 bet 3,600 - but Mattern now raised to 11.650, leaving himself a scant 8,000 behind. The small blind folded pretty swiftly and although Mr. UTG+1 took a litle longer over it, he folded too.

Mattern is now back up above his starting stack, on 33,000.

Full of Wiggour

Level 7 : 300/600, 50 ante

In a multiway raised pot featuring around seven players, the flop had come {K-Spades} {3-Spades} {8-Hearts} and it was checked to Anton Wigg who bet 3,875. Benjamin Jensen flat-called and everyone else folded.

The {3-Diamonds} seemed to make little difference and Wigg fired 7,650 this time with Jensen again calling. The {7-Clubs} river saw a huge 18,850 bet from Wigg and Jensen tanked for several minutes before finally folding. Last year's winner is already going well today.
