Jan Molby's EPT Copenhagen adventure has been brought to an end by Michael Tureniec.
Molby found big-slick and moved all-in, only for Tureniec to wake up with pocket queens. Anyone who knows the Swede knows he races well, and he had no problem in surviving that one. A fine performance by the occasional poker player Molby this week.

Mickey Petersen certainly knows how to play a short stack, shove, shove and shove some more for good measure!
Down to his last 7,300, the Team PokerStars Online moved all in from middle position and the action folded around to Helge Stjernvang in the small blind. He called but then folded when Anthony Hnatow came over the top and made it what looked like 17,200.
Hnatow: 
Petersen: 
Petersen spiked a nine on the 
flop and when the turn and river were the 
and 
respectively the young Dane more than doubled up.
A couple of hands later and Petersen open-shoved for 24,300 from under the gun and Juha Helppi looked like he was going to call him in the big blind but he just couldn't pull the trigger and Petersen picked up the blinds and antes again.
The very next hand the action folded to Helppi in the small blind and he decided not to take on Petersen and he mucked his hand.
"Would you have called a shove?" asked Helppi
"I've not even looked yet.....(looks at cards)....No!" came the answer.
Petersen up to around 28,000
Earlier on we brought you the story of how Bjarke Hansen doubled up through Lauri Varonen. Well he has now breached the 300,000 barrier after eliminating Grzegorz Cichocki.
Niels van Alphen started the ball rolling with a raise to 8,000 in middle position. Melanie Weisner cold-called - one seat to his left - before Grzegorz Cichocki moved all-in for 85,000 in the next pew. Next to act was Hansen and he made the call and once the other pair moved out of the way we had a showdown.
| Hansen |   |
| Cichocki |   |
The board ran out with an unnecessary set for Hansen and he now has 360,000 chips.

Jacob Rasmussen won a healthy sized pot off Ghattas Kortas without showdown and then flashed the 
.
The pot opened with a Michael Tureniec under-the-gun raise to 8,200 before Rasmussen three-bet to 22,000 from the next seat. Kortas was on the button and put in a four-bet to 46,300. Tureniec folded but Rasmussen shakily put in a five-bet to 85,000.
Kortas called to a 
flop where he faced a small 50,000 bet from his opponent. He took his time and folded only to be shown that by Rasmussen.

Team PokerStars Pro Pierre Neuville is living proof it is never too late to take up the game, at 69-years young he is almost always the most senior player in an EPT field, as has been the case here in Copenhagen. Although age shouldn't stop you playing poker it apparently prevents you from playing seven-deuce.
Juha Lauttamus opened to 8,400 from the button and it was up to Neuville to act. He reached for chips and three-bet from the small blind to 21,600. Malki Yaron Zeev folded his big blind and Lauttamus followed suit.
"Show the bluff," requested Zeev. "Seven-deuce?"
"I'm too old for playing seven-deuce," replied Neuville, "I could probably be your grandfather!"
