Toni goes to the cashier..

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Toni was in the BB, with 106 off suit, he got one limper, the flop came out 9 high with three spades. Toni checked, his opponent bet 15.000 and Toni check-raises all in, and his opponent calls. He shows J-9 for top pair, but Toni has the ten of spades, so all the tens and spades would give him the pot. 7 of hearts on the turn….. 2 of hearts on the river and no help for Toni.

Toni went to the cashier to pick his 10.800 euro, which he wasn’t to happy with. Not me either to be honest..

Good Game Toni, no final table this time, but we hope for it in Copenhagen instead!

Up and down…

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Toni has played three hands so far today, the first two, he raised, and got a re raise and folded. Then he was down to about 70.000 in chips.

The third hand, got played out so that the chip leader at the table raised 13.000, and Toni moved all-in. Then the Big Blind went into the tank and was thinking about calling, but in the end he folded his pocket 5’s. Also the first raiser folded his hand, and this took Toni up to about 87.000 in chips.

More reports soon..

Few words from Toni before the tournament start..

Toni, poring out all his 103.000 on the table...

Toni, poring out all his 103.000 on the table...

Toni came up to me on the stage, who has been turned into a huge press room during the tournament. He looked as calm as always, and his words also proved that he was. He had a good night sleep, only thing he was worried about was that his room mate was very sick, he is also still in the tournament, so that hotel room must be on fire, hopefully only in poker..

He looked at the final table that right now is getting prepared for tomorrows play, and he said, “can you see that seat there? That is my seat!”

So now you know all my dear readers, Toni is going to be dangerous today! And now day 3 started!

Tomorrows seating…

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Team RedKings is doing better than ever, from being one member in the start the team really has developed and grown. Who does not know about Team RedKings today? Maybe a 75 year old grandfather who never has seen either a deck of cards or a computer.

Anyway, I think I am getting tired, because that was really not what I was going to write about, here is the seating for our guys tomorrow:

Good night people, and remember to come back here for all the action tomorrow!

Toni goes through to day 3…

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

We have 47 players left, when the clock is stopped for day 2. One of them is our Finnish champion, Toni Ojala. He has played very good poker today, without any major mistakes, and this has taken him up to the level of 103.000 in chips. For this he is guaranteed some money, he will at least get €7.200 for this tournament, but we all hope for more!

We also have Ivo Donev, who has tried the RedKings shirt a little bit today, he is going on to day 3 with 56.000 chips.

Tomorrow will probably be the most interesting day in Team RedKings history, we have Christian Heich as the 2nd in chips in the Main Event of Aussie Millions, and with a chance to win AU$2.000.000! We have Toni Ojala, who is in a good position for tomorrows play in the EPT Deauville by pokerstars.net, and there we also will find Ivo Donev in a RedKings shirt.

This means here will be more action than ever before, we will get you all info you can think of about Christian Heich, Toni Ojala and Ivo Donev!

105.000 after aggresive play.

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Toni goes up to 105.000, after raising pre flop, gets a re raise, and Toni is not afraid of putting his chips in the pot and simply as that he moves all in. The french opponent don’t have the guts to call the superstar.

Toni Ojala 105.000.

31 minutes left of this 2nd day, looks like we will have a interesting day 3 as well!

Two RedKings players in the money..

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Ivo Donev - WSOP Bracelet winner

Ivo Donev - WSOP Bracelet winner

We all know about Toni, he is in the money with his steady chip stack at 90.000, with 60 players left. We also have Ivo Donev, the WSOP bracelet winner, chess master and poker trainer in the money. He has a stack of around 50.000, and he might be the most clever guy on the tour. He is one of the worlds best chess players, and then you must know a bit about statistics and strategy, perfect for poker!

Maybe we will have a RedKings heads up at the final table?

The updates are going to come even more often, so just keep destroying that F5 button!

In the money!

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Yes, this is true. It is probably the fastest bubble history ever, when we got down to 65 players we only got the chance to play one hand, when a player announced All-in with two sevens, and he got called by two Kings, not Red this time. The Kings held up and we are down to 64 players, and everybody are now guaranteed a prize of €6.290!

I would like to congratulate Toni for getting in the money, but he wants more, he is going for the final table!

Toni Climbs..

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Toni is not afraid of the devilfish, which is proved by looking at his chip stack. A player moved all in with pocket deuces, it was about 20.000 for Toni to call, and he made the call with AJ. The flop showed an ace, and that boosted Toni’s chip stack to 95.000. There are now 66 players remaining, so it is one more player to the bubble, then the play probably will tighten up even more than it has done the recent hour.

Toni is on average in chips, but he is over average in skills, so if you do the maths Toni is going to be very successful in the EPT Deuville!

More info about the bubble soon….

Devilfish vs Mr. Ojala..

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

The two best players that still are in the tournament?

The two best players that still are in the tournament?

Yes, you heard right it is the Heavy Weight Champions who has started the battle on the same table. Dave “Devilfish” Ulliot just sat down next to the finnish champion and RedKings player Toni Ojala. Directly when the Devilfish sat down, he started his usual flirting with the dealers, mostly the female ones. He also let his opponents try his sunglasses, generous as he is.

Toni has got up in chips as well, he is now up to about 70.000 in chips, he won a pretty big pot with a couple of Queens, that took him to the height of 70.000. He just has to watch out now for the player on his right, Devilfish has over 100.000 in chips and seems to be in a good mood.

76 players left, 12 to the money…
