Off We Go!

It looks to be a long, interesting day of poker.

Action on the very first hand of the day!

First into the pot, Morten Klein open-shoved for 744,000. The table folded around to small blind Morten Guldhammer and he, not surprisingly, called quickly and awkwardly. Klein was at risk, and the cards were on their backs:

Klein: {A-Diamonds}

Guldhammer: {A-Clubs}

Oh, well, that's not very exciting, now is it? The board wouldn't provide any four-flush drama, either: {7-Clubs}

. No chips change hands, and it's on to Hand #2.

It Could Be a Long Day

[user46392]

Following the initial excitement and ultimate crushing disappointment of that last hand, Morten Guldhammer limped in on the button, Richard Loth folded in the small blind and Roberto Romanello checked his option.

Heads up, they proceeded to check down the {9-Diamonds}

board before Romanello took it down with jack-high.

This could take a very long time.

Guldhammer Back on Top

[user66118]

Morten Guldhammer raised to 80,000 in middle position, and he found calling action from Morten Klein. The two men watched the flop come out {7-Spades}

. When Klein checked, Guldhammer's continuation bet of 100,000 was enough to take it down, and just pip him into the chip lead with about 2.1 million.

Klein Pushes Again

[user46392]

It folded right around to Morten Klein and and Jesper Petersen in the blinds who saw a flop.

Flop: {7-Spades}

Klein immediately announced all in. Unsurprisingly, Petersen folded.

This could be over sooner than we thought.

Guldhammer Waits For a Hand

[user46392]

Morten Guldhammer opened for 100,000 and everyone else folded - and he showed them {2-?}

. He got a round of applause.

Loth's Turn

[user46392]

Richard Loth, judging by yesterday's evidence one of the tightest players at the table, raised under the gun to 91,000. Everyone else gave him respect and folded, and he picked up the blinds and antes.

Guldhammer Cannot De-Klein the Call

[user46392]

Hot Morten-on-Morten action as Morten Klein raised to 110,000, and over in the small blind Morten Guldhammer made it 220,000. Klein went all in for 878,000, Guldhammer snap-called, and both Mortens were on their backs.

Klein: {A-Clubs}

Guldhammer: slightly behind with {A-Diamonds}

Board:

Klein doubled to 1.832 million. Guldhammer meanwhile dropped to sixth place overall on 1.305 million.

Whoever Bets First...

[user46392]

The last few hands have been taken down uncontested by preflop raises from Roberto Romanello (130,000 opener), Yorane Kerignard (90,000) and Morten Guldhammer (105,000). Unless Guldhammer snaps and calls with something unusual again, we're just going to have to wait for a couple of big hands to clash.
