2011 EPT Copenhagen
Short break for the remaining 19 - they'll be back and one table will be live streamed in a matter of minutes!
Last hands saw interesting hands develop on two of our three tables.
First, John Eames opened to 26,000 on Helge Rahbek's big blind, the latter calling before check/raising Eames' 30,000 bet to 78,000 on the
flop. Eames responded by moving all-in and Rahbek quickly folded.
Elsewhere Michael Tureniec opened to 27,000 before Per Linde 3-bet to 78,000 next to him. Tureniec then slid out a 4-bet to 174,000 and Linde quickly folded.
Having returned today as the shortest stack, Juha Helppi is capitalising on his early triple up and pushing his table about. He raised John Eames off a 

flop recently (making it 125k after a long look at Eames' bet out of 38k) and then took down the next pot with a preflop three-bet out of the big blind.
"Power poker," someone on the rail commented.
Quiet but efficiently-grinding short stack Charles McIntyre has busted out in dramatic fashion. Although looking ready for the ski slopes, bundled up in scarf and hat and sunglasses, McIntyre played a good game and just found his 250k to be insufficient to budge Andrea Dalle Molle from his preflop 
. Small blind McIntyre shoved with 
and initial raiser ADM called - there followed an ace on the 

flop, but after the
turn the river fell the
.
"YESSS! COME ON!" shouted Molle so loudly my feet actually left the floor. But he calmed down moments later as McIntyre came round the table with a, "Nice hand," and a handshake.
Kevin Iacofano opened to 26,000 in the cutoff, only for Jens Lauridsen to make it 57,000 form the big blind. After a few moments spent mostly looking uncomfortable, Iacofano called and they saw a flop.
Flop: 


Lauridsen bet out 60,000 and Iacofano called, still looking not so happy about it.
Turn: 
The bet from Lauridsen was 150,000 this time, and Iacofano finally gave it up, looking relieved once his cards were in the muck. Iacofano is approaching the danger zone on 210,000; Lauridsen is pretty comfortable for a player not seated at the Table Of All The Chips - he's up to 850,000.
Jan Sørensen limped for 12,000 and Florian Langmann isolated in the cutoff to 40,000. Simon Hanninger then reraised to 106,000 out of the big blind with about 230,000 back.
Sørensen folded and Langmann thought briefly before moving all-in, Hanniger quickly called but both players showed
and neither could manage to flush out a victory resulting in a split pot.
Juha Helppi's back moving in the right direction, after he checked a 

flop to Helge Rahbek, who bet 41,000. John Eames who had also made it as far as the flop folded, but Helppi now check-raised all in for 280,000. Jensen snap-folded, shaking his head, and dropped to 360,000. Helppi's moved back up to 420,000.
Jens Lauridsen opened to 28,000 from UTG and Nikalos Liakos called in middle position while everyone else folded. The flop came
and Lauridsen slid out a bet of 50,000 but Liakos wasn't going anywhere and casually made the call.
The
turn didn't seem to change much but Lauridsen checked which allowed Liakos to bet 75,000. Lauridsen tanked for several minutes before electing to let it go.
If you needed more proof that Ivan Freitez came here to play today, then how about his immediate reshove with 
in the small blind when button shorter stack Simon Hanninger moved in preflop for around 200k. Hanninger showed 
and held on the 



board, bringing him a little breathing room.
