Toni Ojala makes the raise to 6.900 pre-flop with KQ, he gets called by the Swede Ola Brandborn and after him a big chipstack also calls. The flop comes out Q68, with possible flush draw. The big chipstack checks, Toni doesn’t want anyone to get their draws so he decides to move all-in. Ola Brandborn decides also to go all-in, now we are expecting the third player in the pot to fold but he also decides to call.

Time to show the cards, Tonis pair of queens are not strong against Ola Brandborns pocket 6s for a set, and the chipleader shows a flush draw. Toni is out already on the turn when a low card comes out on the board. The river shows the flush draw and the big chip stack takes out 2 players at the same time..

That was sad, but I am nice to give you some good news to take away your tears. Ramzi just took out a players and is now up on about 170.000.

Ramzi is now the king you will follow! Go on Ramzi!

In just a few seconds day 3 will start, only 40 players remaining, 2 players are going to wear RedKings shirts, and that is as you know Toni Ojala and Ramzi Jelassi. We started the tournament with about 1.5% RedKings players, now we are up to 5% and hoping to get to the 100%!

I just met Ramzi in the lunch buffet, not stressed at all even if the tournament started 5 minutes from then. Ramzi has 140.000 to play with today, and we know what he is capable of.

I took the taxi here with Toni, he was calm and hoped to get an early double up, and he was also mumbling something about a girl. I think that means that he is happy. Toni has 50.000 to play with.

Congratulations!

YES we do! The bubble went pretty fast the bubble boy had pocket 9s and got called of a KJ, the KJ got the straight on the river and the applause from all the players who made it were high, in particular from Toni who really struggled to get there.

Ramzi has been playing impressing poker all day, and after that he doubled up with AK vs QQ, I have been sure of getting him in the money. Now he’s got a really nice stack for the play tomorrow, and a Ramzi Jelassi with a big stack is not to play with, he will play with you.

Toni, oh Toni, I am in love, now two cashes in a row. His third cash for the EPT Season, maybe it is time for the big one now? Stable play, always a bit shortstacked, but that doesn’t matter as long as you are alive. I am eager to see what he can perform tomorrow.

They are both guaranteed €8.928, or if you prefer it in Danish Crones, 66.528DKK.

Tomorrow we will have a new Quiz, but that is just the appetizer. The special on the menu will be two RedKings hunting for the final table.

Ramzi Jelassi, 143.600
Toni Ojala 49.500
Average stack 112.682

See you all tomorrow at 14:00 CET!

We are now down to 41 players, only one more and we will have our RedKings players in the money. What is good is that we surely have 1 in the money, but the odds of getting both in there is also good. They are now playing hand by hand, so it could take a while.

Toni Ojala, 50.000
Ramzi Jelassi, 130.000

First he went all-in and got no call, which means that he wins about 6000 chips, almost one third of his chip stack.

The hand after a big stack raises, Toni pushes for 24.600, everybody folds until the opening raiser who calls. Toni flips over AQ, and his opponent shows the snowmen (88). This means that Toni need to dodge an A or Q.

Flop shows a red little lady and Toni now forgives the ladies from his bad beat yesterday. Now he loves them as usual. No 8s on the turn or the river gives Toni about 55.000 in chips.

Still 43 players left, 107.000 in average stack. Ramzi has still about 130.000.

Lets go RedKings!

And it is just as boring as the title of this post. No action at all, everybody wants to get into the money.

Ramzi is stable at 130.000, Toni has blinded away half of his stack and has about 18.000 in front of him, he just came in to the press room (break) telling me that he is going to go all-in every hand. So there will be action soon.

Is this going to be one of those bubbles that will go to the history? Well, we are not even there yet, and it already feels like the players are playing bubble play.

Stay online and I will give you updates as soon as anything happends.

Toni was down to about 17.000, and he had the small blind. A Swedish guy in middle position makes it 7000 (Big Blind 2400), Toni push all-in and Ramzi in the big blind folds. Now over to the Swedish guy who pretty much is pot commited, makes the call of the extra 10k.

Toni is first to show, A9 suited.
The Swede looks sad and shows his 910. You can see the small smile on Tonis face, this smile quickly disappears when the board comes out 10-J-K. This gives the Swede a lead.

Time for the turn, and time for help, and there it is an ACE! Maybe poker is fair anyway?

River an K and Toni doubles up to about 36.000! My heart was jumping around, I don’t even want to think about how it was in calm Tonis body.

Ramzi Jelassi, 115.000

6 to go……

Until the bubble is splashed and the day is over. That is the unofficial details I have got, that we are playing down to the money today, which means 40 players. There are now 48 players left, with an average chip stack of 96.000.

Ramzi and Toni is still at the same table, no bigger action there at the moment.
Toni, 28.000
Ramzi, 115.000

Good luck to both of them! As soon as anything happen you will see it here.
