European Championship 2015 - Day Two

[Luthee13]

A shock exit!!

We have a board of  

Jacob Andersen makes a bet and Craig Dawson moves all in.

Andersen thinks for a bit...then chucks a chip in to indicate the call.

Dawson looks instantly despondent and turns his   only to be shown the   to mean he is our 7th place finisher.

He collects £460, and very well played to him.

[Luthee13]

Jacob Andersen is now sat with just over 1m in chips giving him almost 50% of the chips in play with 6 players remaining.

But, it isn"t over until it is over and anything can happen...

[Des]

We know what you meant....

[Luthee13]

Steve Bradbury doubles up again!

Jacob Andersen raised to 22k pre

Bradbury calls from the small blind.

The flop is  

Bradbury bets 30k
Andersen calls

Turn is  

Bradbury bets 30k
Andersen calls

River is  

Bradbury says "oh, have you caught that flush again?" and checks.

Andersen pushes all in and is very quickly called by the smooth talking Bradbury who flips  

Andersen mucks and Steve is now up to around 500k

[Luthee13]

Down to 5 now guys

Having been sat very quietly for quite some time, Peteris Brambat finds   and pushes for 180k

Steve Timmis wakes up with   and makes a fairly swift call from the big blind.

The board plays out   and after a close chip count, Brambat is just covered and is sent to the rail in 6th place.

He collects £590, very well played.

[Luthee13]

Rough chip counts for our remaining five are as follows:

Jacob Andersen - 800k
Steve Bradbury - 550k
Steve Timmis  - 350k
Kayode Brown - 400k
Harry Zammit - 100k


Average stack is 423k


They are in seat order...

[Luthee13]

Interesting hand here between mid stacked Kayode Brown and Harry Zammit.

Brown raises, Zammit re raises and this causes Brown to think...and think...and talk...and think...eventually Zammit calls a clock on him and Brown makes the decision to raise all in.

Zammit quickly calls.

Brown has  

Zammit has  

The board is  

Kayode is crippled and Harry doubles to 400k+

[Luthee13]

Kayode Brown pushes the next two hands pre flop. the first one gets through uncontested but the second is looked up by Jacob Andersen.

Brown shows  

Anderson has  

The flop comes  

and the   turn and   river see Kayode Brown become our 5th place finisher.

He collects £820, well played.

[Luthee13]

That means we are on the medal bubble at four handed...

Good luck to the four remaining players.

[Luthee13]

The medals seem to have had an impact on the players and play has tightened up and slowed down significantly...Jacob Andersen is the latest beneficiary of a walk pre flop and, with a stack containing over half the chips in play, he needed it!

[Luthee13]

Steve Timmis has been slowly but surely building his stack, little pots here and there without getting to showdown.

He is currently on around 450k.

[Luthee13]

We have just entered level 20

Blinds are 10,000/20,000 with a running ante of 2,000

Not a huge amount of movement in chips in the last level, a lot of small pots won pre flop and on the flop. Very few turn cards or river cards.

Those medals have their importance...and a big jump in prize money between 4th and 3rd.

[Matt D]

Great updates again this weekend! Nice one

Good luck to those remaining! Will we see back-to-back LPPL winners? Exciting stuff

[Luthee13]

The players have agreed to have their scheduled ten minute break early instead of at the end of this level.

We will be back in ten minutes, let"s see if a break can put some energy back into the table or turn the cards.

[Luthee13]

And we are back, still in Level 20 for a further 25 minutes.

Steve Bradbury woke up with aces following a raise from Andersen and pushed all in. But Andersen got out of the way and Steve collected the pot.
