The Eames Always Rises to the Top

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

John Eames moved all-in for about 950,000 from the small blind and Michael Tureniec gave him a spin in the big blind with {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} but was behind to the Briton's {A-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}.

The flop was {7-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} and Tureniec was already drawing to runner-runner, the {6-Clubs} confirmed Eames' second double up and the {2-Spades} river was inconsequential.

Eames is now just shy of 2 million chips, he's back in this.

Women Are the Break

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Actually that's a lie; there's really only Gloria Balding and Michelle Orpe here, and they're taking a break too. Back in 15 minutes.

First Three Hands of Note

EPT Copenhagen Final Table
EPT Copenhagen Final Table

John Eames made it a just-over-minimum 125,000 from the button and Per Linde called in the big blind to check-fold to Eames' 140,000 continuation bet on the {3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop.

---

Eames handed those chips right over to Michael Tureniec next hand, though. Tureniec made the 125,000 opening raise from the button and Eames called in the big blind, only to check the {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop and then lay it down to a 140,000 bet from Tureniec.

---

The hand after that, Eames handed even more chips over to Tureniec. Eames raised to 140,000 from the small blind and Tureniec called in the big to see a {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop. Eames check-called 150,000, and they got to see a {9-Spades} turn, which they both checked. The river was a relatively blank {4-Hearts} and Eames checked again. Tureniec now bet a more serious 225,000, and Eames gave it up with a pained look on his face.

Seames Strong

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

John Eames raised (110k) on the button, called by Michael Tureniec in the small blind. Tureniec check-called Eames' 150k bet on the {4-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, and both players checked the {A-Clubs} turn. The river was the {Q-Clubs} and when Tureniec checked, Eames pushed in a big 460k (around half his stack now in the middle). Tureniec folded.

John Eames Eliminated in 3rd Place (DKK 1,400,000)

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
John Eames
John Eames

Michael Tureniec opened for the standard 125,000 on the button and Per Linde folded his small blind. But in the big blind John Eames announced all in for 1.965 million.

Snap-call.

Eames: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Tureniec: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Flop: {5-Hearts}{9-Spades}{k-Hearts} putting Eames in the lead.

Turn: {a-Clubs} putting Tureniec back in the lead.

River: {7-Diamonds} sealing Eames' fate.

The man who seemed unstoppable earlier in the day therefore proved himself tournament-mortal after all, and exits in third place. Cheers from the Swedish end of the press room (then polite applause; they're very well behaved, these Scandies) - it's now an all-Swedish affair as we go to heads up.
