All Everest players survived Day1b

It's the end of Day 1b at the European Poker Tour by PokerStars in Vienna and all of our Everest players move into Day 2. Maria Maceiras could double up with AK vs. QQ and ist back on track with more than 50k. Other chipcounts: Sigurd Eskeland (80k), Fabien Perrot (50k), Julien Claudepierre (32k), Francesco de Vivo (35k). We will be back tomorrow at noon with the next updates. Have a good night!

Sigurd doubled up!

Right before the dinner break started Sigurd could double up. He 3bet a guy with AKs and shoved to a 4bet. His opponent tanked a bit and finally called with KJs and got no help from the board. Sigurd now has 62k chips, next blinds are 300/600 and a running ante of 75. Fabien had a little bit of bad luck when he moved allin with AQ vs. KQ on a QQ92 board as the 2 on the river caused a split pot instead of a 40k win for Fabien. Francesco is also doing good with 50k , same with Julien who is playing 41k. Maria is a little bit card dead and down to 20k but looking for a good spot to chip up.

Chip count update

Our Everest players are doing a good job at the European Poker Tour by PokerStars in Vienna. Fabien Perrot (55k) and Julien Claudepierre (53k) from France almost doubled the starting stack of 30.000 chips. Francesco de Vivo also has a nice stack of 45k followed by Sigurd Eskeland (28k) and Maria Maceiras (25k).

Notable hands:

Fabien open-raised AKs and called the 3bet of David Benjamin in position. On the flop with A69 David made a continuation bet and Fabien called. No action on the turn and after a check from David on the river Fabien made a value bet of 5.5k. David called and mucked his hand afterwords.

Francesco called a raise with TT and hit his set on a QT2 flop. His opponent did bet the flop and the turn which Francesco first just called and then raised. His opponent did not give up and did not only call the raise from Francesco but also the river bet. Francesco showed his trips and his opponent mucked his hand.

Sigurd was in a tough spot right before the break. He 3bet and a call with KK and both opponents called out of position. The flop was TT2 and after two checks Sigurd c-bet about half the pot. The initial raise called and the second guy went all in for about 30k (!). Sigurd had to fold and the other guy tanked for a couple of minutes and open folded AT giving his opponent a full house.
