Mickey Petersen Doubles To Just Short of One Million Chips

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Mickey Petersen has just doubled through Michael Tureniec and now has just shy of one million chips.

A preflop raising broke out that resulted in Petersen being all in and at risk with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} against Tureniec's {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. The {4-Spades}{5-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} flop catapulted Petersen into the lead and the {9-Hearts} turn kept him there. The {9-Spades} river completed the hand and Petersen's come back from 1.5BB yesterday is complete!

Robert Beer Eliminated in 12th Place (110,000 DKK)

Robert Beer was moved back to the outer table and was very quickly dropped into a cooler of a hand.

The action folded to Keld Volquardsen in the small blind and he raised, four-bet, called all-in against Beer in the big blind.

Volquardsen: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Beer: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The board ran {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs} to send the German to the bar for beer, probably.

Varonen Makes Great Call Against Tureniec

Lauri Varonen
Lauri Varonen

Michael Tureniec is really in trouble now after Lauri Varonen made a great river call against him.

The two were heads-up to a {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop and Varonen bet, called a raise from the Swede. Both players checked the {j-Clubs} turn to head to the {q-Spades} river. The Finn checked again and called after Tureniec bet 78,000.

Tureniec opened {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for ten high and lost to Varonen's {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for third pair.

Bluffing or Value Betting?

Keld Volquardsen raised to 40,000 on the button, Steve O'Dwyer called in the small blind and Aage Ravn squeezed from the big blind making it 100,000 to play. A familiar pattern, but one that Volquardsen was not interested in exploring further as he folded. O'Dwyer was far more curious and he made the call in the small blind.

Flop: {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {3-Hearts}

O'Dwyer checked to Ravn and he moved 100,000 into the middle. O'Dwyer was giving him the good old "O'Dwyer Stare" and Ravn looked so laid back we thought he was going to fall off his chair. O'Dwyer made the call and we moved on to the turn.

Turn: {9-Clubs}

O'Dwyer once again checked, and this time Ravn moved 200,000 chips into the middle. This pot was starting to get heated and O'Dwyer knew that a call was going to leave him with a tough decision on the river. Ravn leaned back in his chair and as he did so O'Dwyer released his hand.

Tureniec was looking to break all sorts of records
Tureniec was looking to break all sorts of records

The monkey in still on the EPT's back. The two-time curse is firmly in place. Michael Tureniec is out.

He three-bet all-in for 248,000 after an open from Bjorke Hansen from the hijack. Call.

Hansen: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Tureniec: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board read {3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to make a running back door flush for the Dane. Just two more players to lose before we have our final table of eight.

Rasmussen and Ravn In Battle of the Blinds

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Aage Ravn open-limps from the small blind, something we have not seen him do so far in this tournament. Jacob Rasmussen is not going to let him see a flop on the cheap and he raises it up to 56,000 sending Ravn into the tank.

He stays there for a solid minute before taking his original bet back and four-betting to 130,000. Rasmussen, sat with his hands on his throat, almost like he is strangling himself, completely still. Eventually he moved and increased his bet to a total of 210,000! All this from a limped pot!

Ravn, currently being railed by Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden, waited for 90 seconds, winced and then folded.
