The Ups and Downs of Michael Tureniec
![[user169505]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
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.

Van Leeuven Riles Bjerkmann
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Maikel Van Leeuven opened from the button to 2,400 then called as Marcel Bjerkmann three-bet to 6,100 from the small blind. The dealer put out the 
flop. Bjerkmann lead out with 5,200 bet, a bet that his Dutch opponent raised to 13,200. Bjerkmann made the call and it was off to the 
turn.
Neither player seemed too interested in the turn and they checked but the betting was resumed when the 
peeled off on the river. Bjerkmann bet 25,000 and Van Leeuven quickly called.
Bjerkmann: 
Van Leeuven: 
“F**k My Life!” exclaimed Bjerkmann, “How does he bink on the river like that?
Bjerkmann not a happy bunny.
Andersen Aces Hold Up
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
A preflop raising war broke out between Anders Andersen and Jonas Molander that saw Molander five-bet shove with 
straight into 
.
The board ran out 
and Andersen climbed to 82,000 and Molander was left nursing just 800 chips.
Romanello Busted
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Roberto Romanello has just been eliminated and his quest to become the first double EPT champion has been put on hold until Madrid in a few weeks time.
Romanello moved all in on a 
for 19,200 with around 33,000 in the pot. Thomas Blomberg was his opponent and he made the call.
Romanello:
Blomberg: 
and the win.
Romanello stood, wished his former table mates good luck and headed to the rail.
“It's so frustrating sometimes [poker]. I just had jacks into queens with him too.”
Unlucky Roberto.
Bjerkmann Busted
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
Marcel Bjerkmann and Michael Tureniec have been clashing with alarming regularity over the past hour or so and it was only a matter of time before another huge pot went down. Now was that time.
A preflop raising war broke out with Bjerkmann on the button and Tureniec in the small blind that resulted in the fomer being all in. Bjerkmann turned over and Tureniec 
.
Both players paired a card on the flop but Bjerkmann was still ahead. That was until the 
landed on the turn, gifting Tureniec trips. The 
completed the hand and Bjerkmann shook his slayer's hand before gathering his belongings and making a beeline for the sidelines.
“Where's the nearest bridge?” asked Bjerkmann
“Just across the street,” replied a less than sensitive Steve O'Dwyer before adding “don't do anything silly man!”
Steve O'Tower
Steve O'Dwyer never really looks the same without a tower of chips in front of him, so it's good to see he is back to his chip hoovering best, as we speed towards the end of level 10.
Jacob Rasmussen raised to 2,200 in the cutoff before Maikel Van Leeuven three-bet on the button, making it 6,000 to play. Michael Tureniec folded in the small blind and Steve O'Dwyer four-bet to 14,000 forcing both players to fold their hands.
