Action!!

Granstad with a Grand Stack
Granstad with a Grand Stack
In a private battle of the Norwegians on the Table of Death, Andreas Hoivold suffered a major setback when losing 30k plus to Henning Granstad. I have no news of the suits involved but Hoivold raised with 98 suited, called by Granstad. The flop of 972 looked decent for Hoivold. Granstad, sitting there with a pair of 2's, could only agree on the attraction of the flop. A raise, re-raise and re-re-raise later, all the chips were in and Granstad doubled through.

Hoivold was not to be deterred. In the last hand before the final level, another EPT winner, Mads Andersen of Denmark, locked horns with Hoivold in a tentative battle until the board showed a raggy mess of cards. Andersen had been calling Hoivold's small bets and then felt compelled to call a 6,500 bet on the end. Hoivold showed 75 offsuit which fitted well with the 75 on the flop. Andersen mucked with a shake of the head.

Poor Simon Young is camped on this table with all these aggressive Scandinavians and is hanging tight with 15k.

Jim Kerrigan Looking Good

Jim Kerrigan tots up his winnings

UK's Jim Kerrigan took out another short stack just prior to the last level when, on a flop of {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, he was presented with an all-in raise of about 6,000. Jim got busy with the verbals seeking information but was met with a sun-shaded look of indifference. It didn't matter; Jim felt his {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to be good and called. His crestfallen opponent surrendered his {Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and walked the plank when the high cards he needed failed to materialise.

Kerrigan is looking good on 44,000.

Johnny Lodden is Out

In a three-way battle on the Table of Death, Mads Andersen got involved with pocket queens, while Johnny Lodden, now getting low, put it all in with A7. Sweden's Ramzi Jelassi, yet another recent addition of Scandinavian skill to the table, called with AK. The flop showed an ace and two low cards. The remaining ace then also came down but the low rags meant that Ramzi's king kicker played, kicking Lodden out of the tournament. Andersen wasn't best pleased either.

Day 1A Ends

At last, approaching 1.30am local time, level 9 has ended leaving 46 players from the original 136 that started.

From a brisk scan of the stacks entering envelopes, it looks like Patric Martensson of Sweden with 79,000 is the chip leader. Henning Granstad still has in the region of 70k. Thomas Osmun had dropped back a little to 56,000.

There are bound to be a few we've missed but we will get official counts confirmed tomorrow. Check back with us then.

Goodnight from Warsaw!
