Beware the Greeks Bearing Gifts

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Team PokerStars Pro George Danzer raised to 1,600 preflop and Georgios Karakousis made it 4,200 in the next seat. The 'hatpimpin' Nicolas Levi then four-bet to 8,900, Danzer got out of the way and Karakousis moved all in with Levi making an automatic call.

Karakousis: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Levi: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

Danzer mentioned he'd folded ace-queen and the board came {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}{J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs} with Levi moving above the 100,000 mark.

Jacobson Busts With Aces

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Martin Jacobson was among the first players to get knocked out today as his aces failed to hold up. Former EPT London winner David Vamplew explained how a player raised under the gun to 1,600 and he opted to three-bet to 4,100. The action was folded to Jacobson who four-bet all in for right around 12,000 chips and the initial raiser folded. Vamplew called with {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and was up against Jacobson's pocket rockets.

"I won," Vamplew said with a grin on his face as he's now up to 80,000 chips.

Welcome Back to EPT London, Day 2

Sergio Aido
Sergio Aido

The remaining 347 players from Day 1a and 1b combine under one roof today for their second day of play on a journey that they all hope will end with a £700,000 pay day. That is a long way off, for now they must concentrate on making it through six more 75-minute levels.

Leading the way is the chip leader from last night Sergio Aido who has been a busy boy this week. He took down the UKIPT Main Event title and chopped a £1,000 side event before his main event even started! Not only did he manage to amass more than 200,000 chips, he also had time to play in the UKIPT Champion of Champions sit and go last night with the aim of winning a passport to season 4. He did but first in that but what do you want here; Superman?

Play is due to get under way very shortly so don't go anywhere.
