Duthed Up

I just managed to grab the end of a John Duthie hand, the EPT founder check-calling a bet of 3,500 from Kristian Svensson on the river of a {K-Spades}

board.

A graceful tap of the table from Svensson signaled that Duthie's {K-Hearts}

was good, and the Team PokerStars pro took the pot to jump up to the 20,000 mark.

Dutchman and former EPT finalist Marc Naalden just bet out 3,000 on a {2-Spades}

board and, after much deliberation, Elmar Koffler made the call. Naalden took it down with {7-Clubs}

.

Overdijk and Out

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Our second casualty of the day is Peter Overdijk, who yesterday final tabled the €300 PLO event. The exact details of the hand are sketchy, but it looks as though his pocket kings were cracked by Mikael Johansson holding something which wasn't as good preflop.

Kings for Svensson

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Five or six players limped in around the table, until Ramazanali Abbassi decided to make it 1,200 from the big blind. Then, most unexpectedly, Kristian Svensson, who'd limped in under the gun, announced that he was all in for around 12,000. The other limpers folded faster than they'll be running for the buffet come the break, and then back around to Abbassi who pulled a face and dwelled up briefly before passing. Svensson showed him {K-Clubs}

for his trouble.

The Chips Go Straight to Larsen

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

On an

flop Allan Larsen bet 700 and Istvan Pap made the call. After both players had cautiously checked the {Q-Diamonds}

turn, Pap came out firing on the {8-Clubs}

river, to the tune of 1,000.

A quick glance at his opponent, then at his chips, and Larsen reached out for a raise, a total of 2,375. He then rest his hand over his mouth and wore an expression that I can only desrcribe as someone with a bad hangover trying desperately not to vomit.

With his opponent remaining as still as water, Pap hesitated before finally making the call and tabling {A-Diamonds}

. It wasn't good enough, though, as Larsen had rivered a straight with {10-Spades}

to lap up the pot.

Big Laydown by Kristiansen

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kim Kristiansen just made a big lay down. Facing a bet of 2,050 on the river of a {J-Diamonds}

board from Johan Percivall, Kristiansen deemed that he was behind and proudly mucked {A-Spades}

face-up. Sadly for your curious reporter, his opponent didn't show and quietly slid his cards into the middle.

Kristiansen remains at around 15,000.

Monster Pot for Dainius

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

With around 6,000 in the pot by the river of a {Q-Clubs}

board, Dirkzauskas Dainius checked to John Duthie, who promptly bet 3,200. Dainius put on a very serious face, and dwelled up long enough for Duthie to call time on him. Eventually he called, and it was good -- he flipped {A-Spades}
