And That's Your Lot

...Or it is for Messrs. Kabrhel and Eames, both of whom have now succumbed. Eames was spotted heading for the door; Kabrhel however remains a lurker in the tournament area, Czech-ing up on his fellow countryman Jan Skampa.

Making Hedway

Another player having a dreadful day is great British hope John Eames.

By the time we arrived Eames was already short-stacked, and was contemplating calling a 2,500 bet from Peter Hedlund on the river of a {9-?} {2-?} {3-?} {5-?} {9-?} board. "You think I have a niner?" Hedlund was saying. "You could always go all in."

Smiling vaguely and doing his best to ignore Hedlund's good-natured chattering, Eames eventually flat-called, but was disappointed to see Hedlund turn over pocket threes for a full house. Eames flashed a third nine. "Jesus, you had a niner?" said Hedlund. "I should have bet more."

Eames is down to just 4,000, but at least he is enjoying what looks to be a very thorough massage.

Kabrhel Caught Short

Not quite Kabrhel-iminated
Not quite Kabrhel-iminated
We think Martin Kabrhel just limped in to begin with; either way Christian Togsverd raised from the button and then called a hefty reraise from Kabrhel.

The flop came down a full-of-potential {10-Spades} {4-Spades} {J-Diamonds} and Kabrhel bet out 5,625. Togsverd raised another 9,000, and then very quickly all at once Kabrhel announced all in and Togsverd announced call.

Kabrhel: a speculative {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Togsverd: {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} for a set

Turn: {6-Hearts}

River: {K-Clubs}

When we asked Mr. Togsverd his name, he initially just told us, "Christian." "Christian what?" we asked innocently. "Christian Luckbox!" shouted someone across the table.

Mr. Luckbox is up to perhaps 80,000 while Kabrhel is reduced to just 4,000, meaning the Czech could soon be liberated from this Main Event to continue his domination of the EPT side events.

Welcome to the Team

Thomas Bichon is embarking on a one-year PokerStars sponsorship which he won courtesy of the PokerStars "Job 2 Stars" Promotion. Apart from the Job 2 final in Deauville, this is Bichon's first event as a sponsored player, and he's got himself a tough seat draw to the right of Stefan Mattsson.

As we walked over to check on his stack, we caught Bichon involved in a pot. Ville Haavisto had opened the pot with a raise from middle position, and Bichon three-bet a few seats down the line. Haavisto called, and the flop came {7-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {3-Clubs}. Bichon continued out with a pot-sized bet of 4,000, and Haavisto quickly made the call.

Fourth and fifth streets came the {6-Diamonds} and the {10-Clubs} respectively, with both players checking it down. Haavisto was first to show, and his {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} was good enough to win the pot. Bichon mucked with a frown, and his stack has slipped back to 25,700 after that exchange.

Nielsen Murdering the Opposition

Can you see my cards?
Can you see my cards?
Rasmus Nielsen looks in good shape for a third final table appearance here in Copenhagen (yes, we know it's only Day 1, but it bears repeating) after knocking out another player.

We're not sure exactly when the chips went in, but Nielsen was holding pocket kings and his opponent had pocket queens, the board raggy. Nielsen is up to 55,000.

Teng Located

Andrew Teng, presumably a relatively late registration judging by his location at Table 41, right at the far end of the room, has had a decent couple of levels by the looks of it.

When we strolled by his table, he was in the process of check-raising on the turn of a {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {2-Clubs} board. His opponent called, but Teng bet out on the {7-Diamonds} river, inducing a speedy fold.

After that, Teng is sitting on an above-average 37,000.
