Jensen Does Not Liak the River

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Johnny Jensen
Johnny Jensen

Nikolas Liakos opened for a minimum 32,000 in early position and Johnny Jensen called in the big blind to see a {4-Spades}{a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop which they both checked.

They proceeded to the {q-Diamonds} turn and this time Jensen bet out. Liakos called, and everyone got to see a river.

The river was the {j-Diamonds} and Jensen now reverted to checking and staring directly at Liakos. Liakos tanked up for a little while and then bet 141,000, and it was enough to push Jensen off the pot.

Current standings - Jensen 394,000, Liakos 800,000.

Johannessen Asks, Gets

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Super short-stacked Simen Johannessen moved all-in for 171k over the top of an under the gun Jens Lauridsen raise, and a Kevin Iacofano button call. After a lengthy think, Lauridsen passed but Iacofano called immediately, finding his {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} in great shape against' Johannessen's {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

"Ace please," asked Johannessen.

The door card was the {A-Clubs}, and it was followed by {Q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and a delighted Johannessen doubled through an impassive Iacofano.

Ivan Freitez Eliminated in 16th Place (DKK 105,000)

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Ivan Freitez
Ivan Freitez

Oooh, this is a biggy! Simon Hanninger opened to 35,000 from UTG and Ivan Freitez then 3-bet to 135,000 a couple of seats down before Michael Tureniec slid out a cold 4-bet to 285,000.

Nick Weathall and James Hartigan both commented that this looked very much like a huge hand and Tureniec was not likely to be messing around. Hanninger quickly folded but Freitez decided to just call for what was about a third of his stack.

The flop came {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {8-Hearts} and Tureniec quickly moved all-in. Freitez called instantly and flipped {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} having outdrawn the Swede's {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}. Freitez simply had to avoid one of two remaining aces to win a huge double up.

Then - BOOM! The {A-Spades} came on the turn and suddenly from the driving seat, Freitez was suddenly needing the case jack to survive. The river was the {3-Spades} and it changed nothing.

Tureniec and Per Linde are starting to run away with this tournament.

Helge Rahbek Eliminated in 17th Place (DKK 85,000)

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Helge Rahbek
Helge Rahbek

Bringing Day 4 to the two-table stage was the elimination of Helge Rahbek. The shortest stack at his table, Rahbek found an open spot, an ace, and just John Eames thinking of the call. Call he did, and was dominating Rahbek with {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} vs. {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{A-Spades} and Rahbek was already standing up when the river gave them both the pair.

Hanniger Doubles

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

A flurry of action and all the money went in between Simon Hanninger and Jan Sørensen.

Hanninger: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Sørensen: {9-}{9-}

The board came {8-Diamonds}{3-}{5-}{6-Clubs}{Q-} and Hanninger doubled up with that river, Sørensen screamed as though he just suffered an electric shock and has been crippled as a result, and is down to 170,000.

Florian Langmann Eliminated in 19th Place (DKK 85,000)

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Florian Langmann, Michael Tureniec & Per Linde
Florian Langmann, Michael Tureniec & Per Linde

It happened up on the feature table, where we are no longer allowed to go and whence they have not yet commenced live-streaming, so we only have the barest of details, but it looks as though Per Linde put him in preflop and Langmann called for his last 650,000.

Langmann: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Linde: {j-}{j-}

Board: {k-}{5-}{3-}{6-}{j-Spades}

Our last Team PokerStars Pro is out of the running, and our predictions of an uber-stack emerging at the feature table seem to be coming true - Linde is up to around 2.4 million, around the average stack when they get to six-handed at the final.

First Streaming Level!

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The EPT feature table live stream is just about to start here in Copenhagen. The players who'll be popping up on your internet screens have had about ten minutes to get used to it (the camera guys circling them, the bright lights) and will soon be commentated upon.

During this introduction, a couple of pots worth noting went down on the outer tables - Nikolas Liakos took down a preflop pot with a three-bet vs. Kevin Iacofano, and Simen Johannessen moved in on the button (no call).
