This time we haven´t had live coverage of the events, but Team RedKings has still been active around Europe.

Toni Ojala played the EPT Barcelona Main Event and made it thru to day 2 but unfortunately couldn´t survive in the money.

Ramzi Jelassi did even better and made the final table in Malmö Open in Sweden, finishing 7th for 40,425 Swedish kronors (~4500€).Congratulations Ramzi!

The next confirmed stops for the Team players are EPT London for Toni and James, and GSOP Live Greece for Ramzi, so stay tuned for more news!

We are back at the base camp, and can finally post you some pictures. It´s not a lot this time, but just so that you know to watch out for them next time, here´s the three Team RedKings in-the-money finishers:

3rd Team RedKings Qualifier Andis Netlaus $35,908

7th Team RedKings Qualifier Vizsnyiczai Zsolt $13,752

10th Team RedKings Pro James Keys $7546

The heads-up between Jens Kerper of Germany and Rolf Inge Kvanik lasted in total less than ten hands. There was not much action between the short dinner break and in the second hand after the break, Jens Kerper put Kvanik all-in for 13 big blinds and Rolf Inge made the call with A8 offsuit.

It was yet another race, as Jens held Q9 offsuit.

The board ran Q55 T 7 and the German crwod erupted into a wild “KERPER!! KERPER!! KERPER!!!” chant.

Congratulations to both Rolf Inge and Jens!

We will be back in action in Greece October 11th 2011and the Qualifiers are runnign at RedKings - Make sure you will join us in the fantastic Porto Carras holiday resort for five days of poker, golf and cun-bathing at the Mediterranean!

Andis and Jens have been going after each other and it all culminated in a pre flop all-in:

Andis opened the button to 65k, Jens made it 175k. Andis wasn´t giving up and made it 365k with about a million behind. Jens considered his option for a moment before moving all-in and Andis quickly made the call.

It was Andis´s 77 againts Jens´s AT, so we had a classic race which was highly likely to determine the winner of the tournament as the third player, Norwegian Rolf Inge Kvanik has been more passive than the other two and is much more short-stacked.

The flop board ran an ugly AAQJ5 and after a brilliant four day performance, Team RedKings Qualifier Andis Netlaus is GSOP Live Manchester third player finisher for $35,098. Congratulations Andis!

Andis and the other big stack have been tangling a lot, we just witnessed a hand where Andis bet two streets and showed 7 high after Jens folded.

At the moment it looks like it´s either Andis or Jens taking down the tournament.

Rolf Inge Kvanik 500,000 Norway

Andis Neutlaus 1,500,000 Latvia

Jens Kerper 3,000,000 Germany

Johannes Erfurth who had built his stack up to over a million has just been eliminated at 4th place for $28,268.

Jens Kerper opened utg four handed, Johannes 3-bet and Jens four-bet him all-in. Johannes went into the tank, and finally elected to call with AQo.

It was a good call, as he was against JTcc of Kerper and then the rollercoaster ride began:

Flop 3d 10h Ks and Jens took the lead.

Turn Jh!! Johannes was now looking to double-up.

River Ts and a full house for Jens!!! Johannes´s tournament ended in one of the most brutal of ways.

Jens Kerper now has a big chiplead, while Rolf Inge Kvanik is shortstacked and our Team RedKings Qualifier  Andis Netlaus has enough to fight back!

Andis is gaining a bit of an edge at the table. He took down couple of pots against Jens Kerper, first 4-betting pre and then by barreling two streets. At the moment Rolf Inge Kvanik and Johannes Erfurth are much more passive than the two other.

Kvanik opened the button and Johannes Erfurth made it 162k in the small blind, only to get cold four-bet shoved on by Andis, who had 816k behind.

Johannes tanked for a minute or two while Andis calmly waited for his decision without showing anything.

Finally Johannes made the call with AJo and as Andis held a pair of sixes, the players were off to a race!

Andis, who apparently has ice running thru his vains, shov absolutely now feelings eventhough his tournament was on the line, got more to sweat on KQ4 flop as his opponent picked up a gutshot straight draw, but after the dealed turned a 6, Johannes soon had only the gutshot to win the pot, and the river brought a nine for no unnecessary drama.

Andis is now up to 1,7 million or so and second in chips while Johannes slips down to under half a million.

As predicted in the previous entry, the play has now slowed down significantly. There has been basically no big pots at all, each player taking down a pot or two with a preflop raise or maybe with a continuation bet. The only pot worth mentioning was just played between Andis in the small blind and Jens Kerper in the big blind:

Andis limped pre and Jens checked his option.

Flop fell Qs Tc 6d and Andis led 24k, Jens called

Turn was 4d and Andis check raised Jens´s 37k bet to 106 and got called.

River was Td and Andis, after thinking for a moment, check-called Jens´s 221 bet.

Andis is down to about a million now and Jens is building chipleadin, heading towards the 2 million mark.
