We joined the action on a flop of after David Vamplew had raised from the cutoff and Andreas Ulrich had called in the big blind. Both players checked and the turn card was the . Ulrich led for 650 and Vamplew made the call and the dealer gave us the on the river. Ulrich, who had a timid looking stack of 11,700, placed 1,500 into the middle and Vamplew raised it up to 4,200. Ulrich looked a forlong figure as he made the call and Vamplew turned over for the straight. Ulrich showed the table his rather transparent and Vamplew gathered in his pot.
Joining the action on a flop, the former Liverpool and Denmark midfielder Jan Molby made it 625 to play from the big blind and when Jose Carlos Garcia released his hand Dag Vidorbrigsvor made the call. The dealer burned a card before carefully placing the out on the turn. Molby, sat with his head resting on his right hand, bet 1,100 and Vidorbrigsvor instantly called.
The fifth and final community card was the and Molby bet again, increasing his bet slightly to 1,500. As soon as his chips had touched the felt Vidorbrigsvor had reached for chips and raised to 5,100. Molby realising he is probably beaten, gets out of the way.
Paul Berende bets 400 in early position and four players make the call giving us five-way flop. The dealer flings onto the board and the action checks to David Vamplew in the hijack seat, who bets 1,050. There is one caller and it comes in the shape of Kasper Jacobsen in the big blind.
The turn card is the and Jacobsen check-calls a 2,325 Vamplew double barrel. On the river we get the and once more the action is check-call. The bet size is 5,300 and Jacobsen won't be seeing it again.
Vamplew turned over for the flopped set and Jacobsen mucked his hand.
"Another set David?" Asked Dominik Nitsche who is sat on the table just behind him.
"What do you mean, it's my first one," replied Vamplew.
Attal Vincent opened to 375 from the hijack and then quickly called when Allan Baekke three-bet to 950 from the button. A flop reading saw Vincent check-call a 1,125 bet from Baekke. The turn card was the and Vincent checked again but instead of calling Baekke's bet of 2,625 he instantly mucked.
"You hit the king huh?" quizzed Vincent.
"Of course. I did. I always have kings on the button," replied Baekke.
Roberto Romanello is down to 18,500 chips after losing a large pot right at the end of the second level to Dag Vidorbrigsvor.
We didn't see the hand take place but Romanello relayed it to us on his way t out of the door at break time.
"That guy [Dag Vidorbrigsvor] raised and I made it 1,200 with and he called. The flop was , he checked, I bet 1,500 and he called. The turn is a jack and we both check. The river is a four and he bets 3,200, I make it 6,400 and he calls and show's . Queen-nine off man!"
The first two levels have passed and the first break of the day us upon us. Niklas Asplund failed to make said break. He was the first player eliminated from the European Poker Tour Copenhagen Main Event today.
EPT regular Paul Berende looks positively miserable. He has had a difficult start to the day and it has just gotten a lot worse after this hand.
Lauri Varonen raised to 525 on the button and Berende three-bet to 1,350 in the small blind. Varonen made the call and the two of them shared a flop of . Berende took 1,500 from his stack and moved it over the line, while the dulcet tone of Varonen just said, "call."
The turn card was the and Berende bet once more - this time for 3,250 - and once again the table heard the Fin say, "call." On the river we saw the and Berende bet 6,250 and the Finn called in a heartbeat.
"You are good," said Berende before mucking his hand.
Varonen took the pot - without revealing his hand - and now has 45,000. Berende is now down to 12,000
Despite losing a big pot before the break Roberto Romanello seems in jovial mood once agian and is back to his chatty, smiling self.
As we were walking through the tournament area he was bust offering a selection of sweets to his table mates, and us humble tournament bloggers. The dealer refused one but the Welshman put one in her tray and said, "That one is for you, but you have to think of me when you are eating it!"
