Mortensen Lost in Nevalain-d

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Morten Mortensen now has 34,000
Morten Mortensen now has 34,000

EPT Snowfest final tablist Morten Mortensen now has 34,000 after clashing with Janne Nevalainen.

Mortensen raised to 1,000 from early position and the action folded around to Nevalainen in the big blind who nonchalantly threw a lot of purple chips into the mix. The dealer counted them up and it was 4,000 to Mortensen who called in a much neater fashion when he replaced his original bet with one 5k chip.

Both players checked the {10-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {a-Spades} flop and the dealer brought the {6-Hearts} into the game. Nevalainen again threw a lot of chips across the line; this time 5,975 and Mortensen called. The river of {9-Diamonds} prompted a quick 10,000 bet by Nevalainen and Mortensen called.

Nevalainen: {a-Diamonds} {k-Diamonds}

Mortensen mucked his hand unseen.

Swap!

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Players who were not on dinner break have now just gone for their dinner, while those who have just eaten are now playing level 6.

Diazed and Confused

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Diogo Filipe De Melo has just doubled up to about 60,000 after knocking out Gilbert Christian Diaz with the old {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} against {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} when the board came a very dull {5-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

Everyone favourite former secret that was known as "Isildur1" - Viktor Blom, has also been knocked out.

Red-Faced Baron

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Irene Baroni has been crippled after she paid off Halldor Sverrisson's bet of 16,000 on the river of a {3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board only to be shown {3-Clubs}{3-Spades} by the Icelandic player.

Sverrisson is up to about 90,000.

Have I Got Shoes For You? No, No I Haven't.

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Arnaud Mattern - Stuck with a shoe-string budget
Arnaud Mattern - Stuck with a shoe-string budget

Arnaud Mattern has been knocked out, he lost a big pot when he bet/3bet all-in with {q-}{9-} on a {j-}{10-}{6-} board but ran into {j-}{j-}. This left the French Team PokerStars Pro crippled and his last few chips went in with {j-}{7-} which lost out to the small blind's {q-}{q-}.

No shoes for all the Pokernews Ladies, they are all very sad. You, dear reader, could always cheer them up by buying them shoes instead. Shoes make girls happy. Apparently.

Torelli Got Me

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Alec Torelli has dropped to about 20,000 after he fired out 5,125 on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades} only for Cristian Tardea to check-raise to 12,000 from the small blind. Torelli made the call but then folded when Tardea moved all-in on the {2-Diamonds} turn.

Quads for Petino

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Arnaldo Petino is a veteran of the Italian poker circuit and he has just been moved to the direct right of Team Pokerstars Pro JP Kelly.

Kelly has done well since we reported on his all-in shove earlier on in the day and has built his stack up nicely. The action folded around to the two of them and Petino completed in the small blind and JP Kelly raised for 700 more from the big. Petino looked offended but then called the bet.

Flop: {j-Clubs} {3-Spades} {3-Hearts}

Petino checked in the dark and JP kelly checked after he saw the flop.

Turn: {6-Spades}

"Bet," said Petino before betting 3,375 and Kelly snap-called.

River: {3-Diamonds}

Petino started to mouth some words in his native tongue before finally deciding to bet 8,775 and Kelly had called before Petino's last chip had hit the felt. Petino turned over the {3-Clubs} for quads before also showing the {k-Spades} so he could collect the pot. Kelly showed the {j-Spades} before mucking the other card unseen.

Kelly ~ 50,000
Petino ~ 77,250

Levi Shot Down by Winchester

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Nicolas Levi has lost a pot that looked as though it amounted to over 20,000. We just caught the very end of it, but the board read {2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and Albert Winchester was betting out around 7,500 when we arrived. Levi thought about it briefly but ultimately folded, giving us a little shrug and a wink once the cards were in the muck.

He's still in good shape though - around 63,000, with the average at 40,000.
