Koen just busted

The player on the CO position opens to 4.5k, Koen in the big blind, playing 62k, makes it 14.5k. The CO pushed all in and Koen calls.

CO AK
Koen AJ

No help for Koen de Bakker so we lost our Dutch Live the Dream player from Leiden.

3 EVP players left!

We lost Sigurd, Valentin and Fabien today, so there are three Everest Poker players active in the field.

Fabrice Soulier 170k
Koen de Bakker 70k
Antoine Saout 270k

Koen folds KK

After a raise from UTG Koen de Bakker 3bets in the 1k/2k blind level to 12k. UTG calls. The flop is AxJ and both players check. The turn is a blank and now the UTG raiser makes it 18k. Koen folds and drops down to 78k.

After this hand he managed to steal the blinds twice so his stack is 90k, the same as before the dinner break. (For your information; Koen had a hamburger, well done. ;-))

Koen is still smiling

Valentin busted

Valentin Messina just busted. The French Champion and Live the Dream player decided to push all in from the small blind with J8. He was already short and the button just called the blind. The big blind unfortunately found 55 and made the call. A 5 on the flop made it difficult for our Valentin and the turn and river gave no help.

Antoine Saout is doing a great job. After hitting a Royal Flush, he won a huge all in with a flush. He's playing almost 300k at the moment!

We lost Sigurd Eskeland

After losing a big pot with a flush- and a open ended straight draw on the turn, his last 10k went all in with AJ. Sigurd got two callers and one of them is holding AQ. The flop is AKQ and the turn and river offer no help for our Norwegian Live the Dream player.

Good game Sigurd!

Royal Flush!

Our November Nine 2009 player hit an one outer.

Antoine Saout plays towards the flop with Ac Tc, the other player checks the flop (Qc Jc Jh) and Antoine decides, after a look at the stack of his opponent, to push all in. The other player shows J9. The turn is a 9 so it looks like Antoine is going to double his opponent BUT...The river is a Kc, the only out for Antoine gave him a royal flush!
