Amirov Wins a Flip

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We join the action with a bundle of chips into front of three players: Ilkin Amirov, Mikael Aakechan and Mikhail Korotkikh. Amirov is all-in and the decision to call rests with Aakechan who decides to fold. This leaves Korotkikh who is more than happy to call and we have a showdown with Amirov at risk of elimination.

Amirov{A-Spades} {K-Hearts}
Korotkikh{8-Clubs} {8-Spades}
Board{10-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {K-Spades} {10-Diamonds}

Amirov moves up to 29,000 and Korotkikh is left with 24,000

Neuville Bluffing?

Pierre Neuville's stack in into the black after he won a four way pot. We picked up the action on the {2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop and it was checked to Samuli Spiila who bet 2,150 from the hijack. Two opponents folded but Neuville check-raised up to 5,100. The Finn made a quick call to the {3-Spades} where he gave up when the Belgian Team PokerStars Pro bet 10,000.

"Show the bluff, it's good for the game," shouted Roberto Romanello.

Neauville shrugged and opened {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

Poker Girl Ousted

Morten Erlandsen was one of the original Danish high stakes online cash game players. He played (plays) under the handle Pokergirl and was feared throughout Europe.

There is no reason for players to fear him this week as he's just busted.

Romanello Bluffs Big Pot

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

On a flop reading {Q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades} Jose Carlos Garcia makes it 650 to play from the big blind, Roberto Romanello called and Jan Molby made it 2,000 to play. Both of Molby's opponents called and it was three-handed to the {2-Spades} turn.

Garcia now checked, Romanello bet 4,500, Molby instantly folded, as did Garcia and Romanello showed {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for the bluff.

Simon Ravnsbaek has soared to the towards the top of the chip counts after his cowboys held against the Big Slick of Mikael Aakecman.

We arrived at Table 23 to see the cards on their backs to discover Ravnsbaek sat under the gun with {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} in front of him and Aakecman in the small blind with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} on show. By the river the board read {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades} and the aggressive Dane, who recently finished fourth at the WPT Venice Grand Prix is now one of the frontrunners at EPT Copenhagen.

The Lucky O'Dwyer

Steve O'Dwyer is sat on a stack of around 90,000 after managing to find the wonderful set over set. His set of jacks dominating his opponent's set of tens.

"I just got lucky," said O'Dwyer

Considering he always seems to be at the right end of the chip counts, we are not so sure.
