Morpheo bites the dust

The last of our intrepid Day 1A players at EPT London, in association with PokerStars, has left the building.

Spain's Morhpeo could not continue his country's amazing run of sporting brilliance and take the title in London;

Our man went All In with pocket 10s and was followed with A-J and the extra A came on the baord to see our man depart.

Five more Everest Poker pioneers start tomorrow, namely:

From Team Everest: Romain 'blindmaster' Despres and Japanese genius Wooka 'icebeer' Kim.

They are joined by online qualifiers Gianfranco Di Gergorio, Bernd Gleissner & Jean-Baptiste Boni.

Good luck guys & girls.

Frenchman falls foul of fives

'Ciam' our hopeful from France playing in his first big live tournament has gone out after having a great run and a great day;

He had 5-5 against A-A and nothing helped on the flop, turn or river.

Morpheo is our last man standing on Day 1A with five starting tomorrow.

Morpheo, cashed in his first tournament as a Team Everest Player - the Grand Finale of the EPT in Monte Carlo.

Go Morpheo.

Voitto Goes

Voitto, Finland's base playing rock God, is out of EPT London, in association with PokerStars.

He made the final table of a WSOP side event taking home $57,000 and then came 17th at EPT Barcelona but the run is at an end.

He went All-In with J-10 Spades and was called by 4-5 unsuited!!

Two spades on the flop...would you believe the only card to follow was a 4, he lost against the odds.

Ciam & Morpheo continue and 5 more start tomorrow...

Everest Poker players are above average: Official

EPT London Day 1A, in association with PokerStars, continues to go well for our three remaining players.

At the 2nd break the average is 13,500 and ALL of our guys are (of course) above that:

'Ciam' is on 15,000

'Morpheo' 17,000

and Voitto 'RandomEyes' Rintala rock solid on 21,500.

Congraulations guys & remember 5 more Everest Poker representatives will start in tomorrow's Day 1B.

More to come today, though...

First break: Andreas is unlucky, other 3 going well

EPT London, in association with PokerStars, Day 1A is well underway and Andreas was our only, and unlucky, casulaty;

With 77 he raised, pre-flop and re-raised when the flop came down 9-7-6. When he was called, Andreas went All-In.

His opponent, a fellow Swede, was only holding 9-8 but he lucked out with a 10 on the River to get his Straight.

Bad beat, Andreas. There will be other days.

The others - with the average at 10,600 - stand as follows:

Pablo 'morpheo' is on 11,700
Emeric 'Ciam' has 16,050
...and Voitto 'RandomEyes' who has cashed at EPT Bareclona & the WSOP is sitting pretty with 21,000

EPT London is GO

Nine Everest Poker players will take to the table for a "sold out" EPT London, in association with Pokerstars.com, taking on the other 551 for the title.

On Day 1A we have 4 players starting. Live The Dream winner & Team Everest player Pablo 'morpheo' Ubierna and Finland's Voitto 'RandomEyes' Rintala who recently cashed at EPT Barcelona.

We also have two online qualifiers in Andreas Tegner from Sweden and Emeric Marcia from France (all pictured below).
