Wu Folds, Senninger Breathes Again

[user46392]

Nikolai Senninger shoved from the small blind to cover big blind Raymond Wu. Wu checked his hole cards several times, one by one, and gave it some serious thought before folding. Senninger had a distinct look of relief on his face as he took his chips back.

Eastgate Continues To Go Up.....

[user76023]

Peter Eastgate raised to 190,000 and Aaron Gustavson calls. They both check the {A-Clubs}

flop before it's checked again to Peter Eastgate on the {6-Hearts}

turn.

Eastgate bets 200,000 and Gustavson calls, the river is the {8-Hearts}

and Gustavson checks a third time, Eastgate now bets 400,000 but suddenly Gustavson check-raises to 1,000,000.

Eastgate looks concerned but calls with {8-?}

and Gustavson mucks. The WSOP champion has been the big climber so far today.

Eastgate Passes, Almost Passing Out

[user46392]

Nikolai Senninger made it 225,000 and it folded all round the table. Big blind Peter Eastgate looked a mere wink away from passing out. Perhaps a nap at the next break would do him good.

Eastgate Not Perking Up Yet

[user46392]

Peter Eastgate and Rui Milhomens saw a {Q-Clubs}

flop and Eastgate bet out 140,000. Milhomens made it 350,000, though, and a grouchy-looking Eastgate folded.

A Thousand Men Loses A Million Chips.

[user76023]

Rui Milhomens raises to 230,000 from the small blind and Martin Gudvangen calls.

The flop is {2-Clubs}

and both players check. The turn is the {7-Hearts}

and Milhomens checks a second time, which to a Norwegian is like a red rag to a bull. Gudvangen bets 305,000 but Milhomens quickly calls.

The river is the {K-Clubs}

and Milhomens checks once more, Gudvangen bets 620,000 this time. Milhomens makes the call but the Norwegian shows {10-?}

and it's good. Milhomens, whose surname means 'A Thousand Men' in English is crippled as a result.

No Flops Here

[user46392]

Preflop raises that have got through uncontested:

1) Peter Eastgate, 250,000
2) Aaron Gustavson, 200,000
3) Peter Eastgate again, 250,000 again

We have to say, after the blink-and-you'll-miss-them super-fast EPT final tables we've become accustomed to this season, the pace of this particular final seems almost glacial.

Petering Out Of The Call

[user76023]

Peter Eastgate raises to 240,000 UTG and Dominic Cullen moves all-in for 1,490,000 from the big blind.

Puffing his cheeks out, the move has clearly woken the Dane up a little as he calculates the pot odds.

A slight case of gurning ensues, but Eastgate then folds.
