A-10 vs K-Q

Tim limps, Soren checks.

Flop comes {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, check,check.
Turn is the {5-Hearts}, check, check.
River is the {5-Clubs}, check, check.

Tim has A-10 and Soren K-Q and the pot is only two big blinds in size.

Tim Grinding it

Tim has won the last few pots with bets on the turn after unraised flops.

Soren seems intent on waiting for a big hand before making his move.

Action!

Tim makes it 180,000 and Soren moves all in. Tim asks for a count again. It is 1,190,000 to call. Tim paces and claps. "What's your pair?" asks Tim.

"I gotta fold." - Tim passes.

Quote of the Day

From the live feed commentator:

"If you are just joining us now, we are not sure why..."

We could possibly say the same, this is the most passive heads-up encounter either of us have ever witnessed.

Value Bet?

In a limped pot the flop comes {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}, check, check and the turn is the {J-Clubs}, check, check. River is the {J-Hearts} and Soren moves all in. Tim laughs and folds, Soren shows the {J-Diamonds} for quads.

Vance Widens His Lead

Vance limped on the button, Jensen raised to 200,000 and Vance called. The flop was {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Jensen bet 400,000, and Vance asked for a count before moving all in. Jensen showed the {K-Hearts} before folding.

And Vance, yet again broke into a tone-deaf rendition of the Beatles' "I'm Looking Through You" as he dragged the pot.

Record Blinds

We're breaking all sorts of records here in Copenhagen, the latest of which is a blind level previously unheard of on the EPT. The structure sheet has long run out, and blinds are all the way up to 40,000-80,000.
