Back to Three-Handed Action

[user66118]

We're back with another level of poker. This one's off the structure sheet, so it's an impromptu 125,000/250,000 level, and the ante will cost you an orange T25,000 every hand.

Don't forget to scope out the PokerStars TV Live Feed over here.

Pettersson Turns Up the Aggression

[user46392]

Toni Pettersson min-raised to 500,000 from the button. You know things are getting very serious indeed when half a mil constitutes a min-raise. But we digress. In the small blind, Jakob Carlsson made it 1.4 million to go. Liv Boeree quickly got out of the way, but after a moment of giving Carlsson a puzzled stare, Pettersson made the call.

They saw a {4-Clubs}

flop and Carlsson bet out 1.3 million. Pettersson raised to 3 million, and Carlsson had folded before the chips were even across the line.

Pettersson three-bet Carlsson off the next hand as well. It really is anyone's game now.

Carlsson Surrenders As Stacks Get Even

[user76023]

Liv Boeree raised preflop to 550,000 from the button and Jakob Carlsson came in with a 3-bet to 1,400,000 out of the big blind.

Boeree called but the bone-dry flop of {K-Hearts}

went check-check. Carlsson checked the {J-Spades}

turn too and Boeree bet 1,400,000. Carlsson folded without much thought.

The stacks are all fairly even now.

Toni Pettersson Eliminated in 3rd Place (€420,000)

[user46392]

Toni Pettersson opened to 650,000 on the button and Jakob Carlsson folded his small blind. Big blind Liv Boeree, however, made it 1.5 million to go. Call.

Flop: {4-Spades}

This was the point at which everything went mad. Boeree bet out 1.5 million and after a pause, Pettersson made it 3.2 million to go. Boeree looked him up and down for a long, long time, before announcing all in, barely covering the Finn - who insta-called. They turned their hands over.

"F***," said Pettersson, with feeling.

Pettersson: {K-Hearts}

for top pair
Boeree: {3-Clubs}

for a set

Turn: {A-Diamonds}

River:

The 18 year old Pettersson takes home €420,000 - not bad for his first ever live tournament.

Boeree meanwhile takes the heads-up chip lead on 23,215,000 to Jakob Carlsson's 13,965,000.

Stop! Hammer Time

[user46392]

Sadly there is a real lack of parachute pants in the house today, but either way there's a bit of a pause in the action right now.

Our two heads-upsers will return shortly for the thrilling denouement of EPT San Remo.

[user46392]

The heads-up is upon us. May the best man or woman win.

First Blood - Boeree

[user76023]

Jakob Carlsson raised to 600,000 from the button. Liv Boeree immediately made it 1,800,000 to play and Carlsson folded.

1-0 to the Brit.

Boeree Tries It On

[user46392]

Liv Boeree raised to 550,000 from the button and Jakob Carlsson called. They saw a flop.

Flop: {10-Hearts}

Both players checked, and they saw a turn card as well.

Turn: {2-Clubs}

Carlsson now bet out a smallish 700,000. Boeree called, and they progressed to the river.

River: {10-Diamonds}

Carlsson checked this time, and Boeree bet 1.3 million. Carlsson considered for a little while, and then called - and Boeree immediately mucked her hand, sending the pot Carlsson's way.

Carlsson Brings It Almost Even

[user76023]

Jakob Carlsson raised preflop to 600,000 but folded when Liv Boeree made it 1,600,000 to play.

The next hand and Boeree made it 550,000 from the button but Carlsson reraised to 1,700,000 in the big blind.

Boeree called but the hand got no further than the {9-Clubs}

flop where Carlsson bet 1,900,000 on the flop and Boeree folded.

Carlsson: 17,600,000
Boeree: 19,675,000

Carlsson Takes the Lead

[user46392]

Jakob Carlsson raised his button and Liv Boeree made the call so everyone got to see a flop.

Flop: {8-Clubs}

Boeree check-called 700,000 from Carlsson, and they moved on to see a turn.

Turn: {8-Spades}

Boeree checked again and Carlsosn bet once more, this time to the tune of 1.6 million. Boeree paused, before raising to 3.6 million - but then was left with a big decision when Carlsson quietly announced a three-bet all in. Boeree asked for a count - it was 16.3 million - but folded.

With that, Carlsson is up to 22.5 million while Boeree is now in second place with around 14 million.
