Four In a Row for Petersen

Back to square one, almost, after Mickey Petersen took four pots on the trot. Two of them he took down with pre flop three-bets, two of them went the distance when the Dane was in position.

He raised and bet a {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop. Neuville called both times before the two checked the {10-Hearts} turn. The river fell {6-Clubs} and Neuville check-called a 300,000 bet and then mucked when shown {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

Two hands later the Dane raised to 160,000 and Neuville called to the {6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop where the action was checked. Neuville check-called a 125,000 bet on the {q-Spades} turn and a 325,000 bet on the {10-Hearts} river. Petersen opened {8-Spades}{9-Spades} and took that pot, too.

Three For Neuville and One For Petersen

  • Pierre Neuville raised to 215,000 and Mickey Petersen called. The flop was {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} and both players checked. Onto the {Q-Clubs} turn and Petersen surrendered to a 250,000 Neuville bet.
  • Petersen raised to 160,000 and Neuville called. The flop was {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {4-Hearts} and this time Peters took down the pot with a 160,000 bet.
  • Petersen raised to 160,000, Neuville three-bet to 325,000 and Petersen folded.
  • Neuville raised to 215,000 and Petersen called. The flop was {Q-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} and Petersen check-called a 285,000 Neuville bet. That was the end of the betting action as the {4-Clubs} and {K-Spades} were checked through and Neuville picked up the pot with {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

Petersen Closes The Gap

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Mickey Petersen opened the betting and Pierre Neuville called. Neuville then check-called a 160,000 bet from Petersen on the {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop before both players checked the {J-Diamonds} turn. It looked like that was going to be the action on the {3-Diamonds} river but when Neuville checked for a third time Petersen bet 250,000 and Neuville folded.

2:1 Chip Lead For Neuville

Mickey Petersen raised to 125,000 and Pierre Neuville made the call. The two of them shared a co-ordinated flop of {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} and Neuville checked to Petersen who bet 125,000. Neuville went into his stack and counted out a check-raise of 275,000 and slid it across the line. Petersen wasn't going anywhere - just yet - and he made the call.

The turn was the even more connecting {10-Diamonds} and Neuville bet 335,000 resulting in a very quick fold by Petersen.

Another Big Hand For Neuville

Pierre Neuville has been finding plenty of big hands here at the final table of the European Poker Tour Copenhagen Main Event, and now he has just picked up a Big Slick.

Mickey Petersen check-called a 150,000 bet on a {5-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{A-Clubs} flop leading the duo to the {6-Clubs} turn. Petersen check-called again, this time a bet of 300,000. The river brought the {10-Hearts} into the equation and Petersen checked for a third time, Neuville bet 500,000 and Petersen snap-called.

Neuville: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Petersen: Mucked

Neuville takes the lead but for how long?

Out of Position Will Do

Micky Petersen tried to build pots in position by raising on the button but Pierre Neuville kept three-betting him off his hands. Instead the young Dane elected to call raises and try and wins pots that way. It worked too as he won two of them to move clear again.

The second of the hands was more significant and saw Neuville's 130,000 raise called along with his 175,000 c-bet. The turn was checked through to leave a {3-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Diamonds} board. The river was checked too and Neuville opened {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, losing out to Petersen's {a-Spades}{7-Spades}.

Former EPT London champ David Vamplew, who's guest commentating, said he would have liked to see Neuville bluff that river as his three would rarely have been good.
