Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
It's probably not the start either of the Pragers would've wanted, Josh Prager was facing a 4,000 bet on the river of a 
board and tanked for several minutes before calling, only to be shown 
.
Meanwhile on the next table, his wife Helen Prager fired out 400 on a flop of 
with only Dmitry Vitkind calling. The 
came on the turn and Vitkind, who had made the final of EPT Tallinn, check-raised Prager's 800 bet to 1,900 but elicited a quick call.
The river was a 
and Vitkind bet out 3,600, Prager made the call in fairly speedy fashion once more but mucked when the Russian turned over 
.

To be honest there are a lot of them today. Good turnout, Copenhagen! Among the doomiest of the tables at the moment are these little gems:
- Viktor Blom, Ramzi Jelassi and Andrea Benelli
- Sami "LarsLuzak" Kelopuro, Johan "busto_soon" van Til and Martin Jacobson
- David Vamplew, Florian Langmann and Kristijonas Andrulis
Registration is open until the end of Level 2, so we are fully expecting more of these bloggers' delights to emerge before the first break.

Sometimes you're just in the right place at the right time to overhear a non-poker related bit of weirdness. Just now passing the JP Kelly/John Eames table, his left hand side neighbour Pernille Ravn gave him a grin as he took a swig from a bottle of water on their shared side table.
"I don't mind sharing water with you, just thought you should know yours is under there."
He apologised, rushed off to get her a new one and muttered something about not really remembering putting his own water down there but helping himself to it anyway.
"I thought, 'I'm drinking an awful lot'," she laughed while he went a pinkish colour before saying something about it being his birthday last week. Oh the joy of eavesdropping.

EPT London winner David Vamplew is here today, getting involved in Level 1. His most recent dabble in the tournament shallows saw him down a couple of thousand chips, though, as he called a preflop raise from Tommy Strand Skalmeras (along with the button). On the 
, Skalmeras bet out 1,700, just under the pot, called by Vamplew, but both relinquished their hands when the button popped it up to 5,200.
Because the software will only let us display 12 photos at once, for some reason.

True to yesterday's form, the players who've made it here on time have come to play right from the start. Chips are flying in all over the place, including on Table 44, the last inhabited table at the very end of the spacious tournament arena(45 waits for mystery late entrants). My first big flop of the day: 
. Heads up, the big blind Hans Hein had bet and found Seat 9 (we shall call him Late Pokersson) raising to 7,800. The yellow 5,000 chips took more than one orbit to get into play yesterday, but here Hein made the call (his bet had been a couple of thousand).
The turn was the 
. Check from Hein; Pokersson bet 9,600 and sat back calmly while Hein fixed him with a stern stare and thought for several minutes. Instead of escalating this pot past the point of no return, Hein folded.
"You can show the bluff," he suggested, quietly.
"Heh heh." said the early chip leader.

The seat draw is up in the tournament area and we are moments away from the start of Day 1b. Watching the tables and names scroll by, at first glance there are a few worth mentioning:
Seated next to each other are Ramzi Jelassi and Viktor Blom, which should provide tinder for the early poker fire. Elsewhere:
Roberto Romanello - fresh(ish) from his victory at EPT Prague
Paul Berende
Jake Cody - fresh from his High Roller £1,500 event win at UKIPT Nottingham
Martin Jacobson
Morten Erlandsen
Michael Tureniec
Fabrizio Ascari
