We reported earlier that the table housing Michael Tureniec, Steve O'Dwyer and Marcel Bjerkmann would bring plenty of excitement and we were not wrong. Michael Tureniec just had a huge stack of chips and Marcel Bjerkmann did not, lending us to believe that the current EPT Copenhagen champion has been giving him a hard time. Here are two examples of monster hands involving that man Tureniec.
We are led to believe that there was a raising war between Alexander Manson, Marcel Bjerkmann and Michael Tureniec. We caught the action with 6,500 in front of Mason and 18,400 in front of Bjerkmann. Michael Tureniec put in a huge raise of 31,400, Mason folded and Bjerkmann made the call. The flop was and Tureniec open shoved and Bjerkmann folded.
Tureniec had not finished building his wall when he was dismantling it again. He opened up to 2,200, in early position, and Tim Jaksland three-bet to 6,000 on the button. Action back on the Swede and he four-bet to 14,400.
"I am all-in," said Jaksland.
Tureniec made the call and flipped over and Jaksland (who had 68,000 in total) flipped over . The board of changed nothing and Tureniec was handed a substantial portion of his chips to Jaksland.
Lauri Varonen started the day with 165,150 chips and by the end of Level 9 he has increased it to 200,000. Here is winning back to back pots.
Varonen raised to 2,800 in first position and the big blind defended. The flop came down and a Varonen c-bet took down the pot.
In the next hand there was a five-way limped pot and Varonen decided to have stab at the pot after it was checked through to the turn on a board of and everyone folded.
Will Molsen and Victor Ilyukhin have just clashed with Molsen suffering a fatal wound. Molsen's pocket sevens were no match for the pocket eights of Ilyukhin in the pre flop clash which ended the tournament life of Molsen.
Arnaud Mattern, the French Team PokerStars Pro, is down to around 10 big blinds and in push-or-fold mode.
Just now Mikita Badziakouski opened to 1,600 on the button and it was blatantly obvious Mattern was going to push from the big blind and low and behold that is what happened, and Badziakouski snap-folded.
We joined the action on a board reading and having seen Maksim Semisoshenko bet 15,000 into the 22,000 pot from the big blind. He had a very anguished look on his face and that is because he is facing an all-in bet of 58,000 from Lupu Alexandru on the button.
Semisoshenko has taken so long to act that half of his table have grown beards, not really but you get the picture. Eventually Alexandru called the clock but as the floorman began his count down Semisoshneko let his hand go.
Wigg just seconds before he battered Ravnsbaek to death...probably.
Our legendary reporter MarcC reported earlier about the quality on Table 34. Team PokerStars Theo Jorgensen is inconspicuous by his absence but his seat has been taken by Simon Ravnsbaek and 180,000 chips.
"Hello, do you still hate me?" Ravnsbaek asked Anton Wigg as he sat down.
"I don't hate you. You just made some weird comment online and wouldn't let it go," said Wigg.
Ravnsbaek went on to explain that he made the comment because Wigg had commented about one of his friends, also whilst playing online.
"It's just poker," said Wigg.
"Let's keep it that way then, " said Ravnsbaek.
"But you didn't," said Wigg.
We left just before both players started smacking each other with their trendy scarves.
Marcel Bjerkmann doubled-up with the mighty and tabled his winning hand whilst saying, “This is one for the media!”
A Norwegian colleague brought us the hand so the details are a little sketchy. There was a raise that Bjerkmann called along with Michael Tureniec before Danny Neess three-bet to 12,500 from the big blind. Bjerkmann was the only caller to the flop.
The chips went in and the Norwegian rivered the to make a flush and crack the aces that belonged to Neess.
