Early Action

It would appear as though my colleague has scooped all the early gems, as my travels have been rather more action free. I did spot a few pots of note, however. The first involved recent WSOPE bracelet winner, Theo Jorgensen, who called a bet on a {5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} board before calling again, reluctantly so, to a bet of 3,550 on the {5-Clubs} river. Jorgensen spent little time folding as he was shown {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a rivered full house.

Meanwhile, Markus Golser and poker cowboy Alfonso Amendola had somehow accumulated a big pot preflop, but on the {4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, it was Amendola who took it down with a bet of 5,650. One table down, 2006 EPT Copenhagen winner Mads Andersen led for 525 on a {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{K-Clubs} flop, before checking down a {2-Spades} turn and {J-Spades} river with {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} to snap up a small, but useful pot.
