End of Day

We will have two Everest Poker players coming back tomorrow for Day 3.

Kim "icebeer" will return with 76,000 in chips and Julien, who made a great come back doubling up with A's and then again with AK will be back with 193,000.

Good luck tomorrow!

Update 20:30

We're at level 13, blinds are 1200/1400 with an ante of 200 and average chip count is 138,000.

Kim "icebeer" is now up to 120,000. She just took down an aggressive SB when he raised, she reraised and he reraised her again. Kim was not willing to back down, so she went all in. The SB folded and Kim took the pot.

Julien is also still in, but with a very small stack. Hans "tooren" is out after a steady downfall over the course of the day.

Update 19:00

Sander "Berndsen12" is out. Everest Poker's youngest representative at the EPT Finale was going strong until level 10 when his luck began to turn. Unfortunately Sander went out on a coin flip. Better luck next time Sander.

We have three remaining players in the tournament; all are on dinner break at the moment.

Chip Count:

Chip Average: 95,776
Hans "tooren": 54,000
Julien: 85,000
Kim "icebeer": 120,000

Kim is now above the average and playing very well!

Update 16:00

Bernd "nheo" Gleissner is out.
He was short stack with AQ against AK

Our other players are back on the roller coaster.

Kim "icebeer" is now up to 80,000. She was called twice when she went all in with 3's after catching third 3 on the flop. The other players couldn't compete and Kim tripled her stack.

Sander "Berndsen12" is down to 60,000 after losing AK suited against 10's.

Julien is now up to 88,000 and Hans "tooren" is steady with 48,000

Update 14:30

We are now up to level 10 and blinds are at 600/1200 with an ante of 100.

Four of the Everest Poker qualifiers are struggling at the moment.

Chip Average: 69,776
Hans "tooren": 35,000
Julien: 35,000
Kim "icebeer": 10,000
Bernd "nheo": 9,000

We do have one shining star however, our 18 year old Dutch phenom, Sander "Berndsen12" is going strong with 93,000 in chips.

Update 13:00

Christian "Eend" is out. Christian pushed all in the first hand of the tournament, but luck was not on the side of our Dutchie and he lost the only hand that would keep him alive.

We hope to see you again soon Christian!
