We arrived at the table in time to find three players including Jake Cody looking down at a board of .
Cody had a bet of 2,950 in front of him which was called by a player to his left. Jonas Ten Cate made it 6,250 to go from here and action was back on Cody. He tanked for roughly one minute before bringing his bet back and moving in a raise to 10,150. The third player in the hand folded and it was back on Cate who ultimately decided to lay it down as well.
Cody dragged in the pot and is currently sitting on about 42,000.
Eugene Katchalov has lost nearly half his starting stack, some due to an opponent made a flush against him.
The Team Pro was one of four players to take to a flop after a raise to 475. Katchalov led out for 800 from the small blind and was only called by one player to see the turn appear. Both players checked to the river where Katchalov check-called a 3,000 bet. His opponent opened for a flush and Katchalov nodded and mucked.
We just caught the end of a huge hand between Abdel Kader and Frederik Jensen. The latter, last year's EPT Madrid winner, did not fare well as he lost almost all his chips.
Where most players would be put in a bad mood instantly, Jensen wasn't and he explained to us what happened. After a limper Kader raised to 625 and Jensen three-bet to 1,650. The action was folded back to Kader who four-bet to 3,800. Jensen wasn't done with putting money in preflop as he five-bet to 7,350 and Kader made the call.
The flop brought and Kader check-called 5,200. On the turn the hit and both players checked. The river brought the and Kader fired out 5,575. Jensen moved all in after which had Kader to decide for his final final 6,000 chips. He called immediately and Jensen shook his head as he turned over . Kader turned over his and took down this huge pot.
"Too bad," we tried to console Jensen who was still all smiles.
"I guess you could really say I'm 'too bad'," The Dane laughed as he was left behind with just 3,300 chips.
"I just hope to be in this tournament longer than my flights are," Team Pro David Williams said with a smile. The American pro flew from Las Vegas to Atlanta and via Stuttgart he ended up in Berlin.
"I flew to Australia once and played one hour in the Aussie Millions before busting out. It took me 16 hours to get there, so I thought I'm never going back there," Williams laughed as he went back to focussing on the tournament.
Home grown, scarf wearing, George Danzer is having a good start to the day and is up to around 45,000.
The Team Pro bet 2,500, 4,400 and 7,500 on each street of a board. The action was three-way to the flop but only Wilhelm Sascha stayed around to the river where he too folded.
