Ramzi Jelassi is now challenging both Toni and Molle in chip stacks, he had about 50.000 in chips when this hand played out:

Ramzi raises 3.000 pre-flop, gets one call, flop comes out Kc7h10h. Ramzi bets out 4.000, his opponent puts all his chips in the middle which is worth about 70.000. Ramzi says:
-If I call this pot is going to be over 100k, pretty sick.
He thinks a bit, but then decides to fold. He tells his opponent that he had a flush draw, but you can never know with Ramzi…

Molle, 72.000

Toni, 42.000, he doubled his fellow Finn Jaakko Lauttamus up. Toni had 1010, and Jaako had QQ, no help for Toni.

Joao Gabriel Fernandes, 20.000

Jonas “Molle” Molander is still going strong, now up to 70.000

Ramzi Jelassi increases his chip stack every time I walk by his table, now 37.000

Toni Ojala, 58.000, now sits next too 2 finnish players and one of last years Swedish Champions (Yes, there are plenty of them), Ola Brandborn.

Joao Gabriel Fernandes, is stable on the stack he has got all day, around 27.000

I think the Team must have eaten some nice pills or found some good drinks, or they just are very good poker players, you choose..

Molle has been involved in many hands the latest 30 minutes, one in particular. Molle raised pre flop to about 3000, got a caller from a unidentified girl from Denmark. The flop comes out 852, two clubs. Molle bets out 3700, the danish girl re-raises to 9500. Molle thinks for a while and makes the call, the turn comes out K of clubs, Molle checks, opponent checks. River shows a boring 6 of spades, Molle bets out 7700, and the danish girl quickly folds. This puts Molle on 57.000 in chips.

As I said Ramzi has now given us some action, by some steals and nice hands he has doubled his stack up to 30.000.

Toni is still on a run, now with 65.000 in chips.

Joao Gabriel Fernandes has just changed table, and there he sat down with 23.000.

Molle is doing good at his table he’s now up to 46.000 in chips, without having any special hands and just stealing pots without any showdowns. That is the difference between a player and a good player, so Molle must be a good player.

Our Portugese/Canadian Qualifier found some action at his table, again he raises up to 2200, and the small blind decides to put all his chips in, which means about 11.000, Joao Gabriel makes the call and flips up AQ of clubs, his opponent shows pocket 9s. Time for a race… No help on the flop, nothing on the turn, now he needs an Ace or Queen to take this pot. Is it? Nooo. Joao still got 29.000 in his chip stack so no worries yet.

Not to talk about Toni, 62.000 in chips!! I asked him:
- So any all-ins or other interesting stuff?
- No, only great poker and skills.

Ramzi, 15.000, he still looks happy, so I think he will give us some good action soon.

The players have sat down at the tables, made themselves comfortable and played for about 40 minutes. The chipstacks of our players are pretty much the same as they had in the start of the day.

I talked to Toni about his table, he didn’t know anyone except the other famous Finn Jani Sointula. Toni is on the same chipstack he had in the beginning of the day which means about 41.000.

Our Canadian Qualifier Joao Gabriel Fernandes got involved in a hand with the Swede Bo “Legato” Sehlstedt. He raised up to 2200 on the button with the blinds 400/800, “Legato” decided to go all in with 12.000, this puts Joao gabriel in the tank, and efter some mumbling he decides to fold. Also Joao Gabriel is on the same stack as the start of the day.

Molle and Ramzi is so far calm, but I am very sure that here will be some big action soon..

Day 1b is now over, and just as I said before the day started 4 out of 6 RedKings players went through to the second day. They didn’t just get through, they did it with great stacks!

Here is the chip counts for today:
Toni Ojala - 40.900
Joao Gabriel Fernandes - 38.500
Jonas “Molle” Molander - 34.600
Ramzi Jelassi - 21.400

Average stack: 25.934.

190 players went through to the second day of EPT Copenhagen presented by pokerstars.com, they are all going to start tomorrow at 14:00 CET. I hope I will see you all here then!

This was just the warm up of what our players can do, tomorrow it is going to be even better!

This time it is Ramzi Jelassi and Joao Gabriel Fernandes who is at the same table, Joao Gabriel Fernandes has been on this table all day and Ramzi just arrived, and Gabriel has liked it so I think Ramzi will as well.

All the RedKings players are going very good at the moment, we have 4 left and all of them have really nice stacks. If we are going to do a RedKings championship here and now this is how the medals would be given out:
Gold - Toni Ojala, 51.000
Silver - Jonas “Molle” Molander 43.000
Bronze - Joao Gabriel Fernandes 36.200
Flowers - Ramzi Jelassi 19.000

I am sure that Ramzi will be thrilled over his flowers, but I also think that he is still going for the gold!

Now we only have about 30 minutes left of the day, there are 99 players remaining and the average stack is 23.000.

Toni and Molle has really boosted their chip stacks the last 25 minutes. Toni in particular, first I left him for 10 minutes then he was up to 38.000, then I left for 10 minutes again and he was up to 48.000, maybe I should leave the building completely? With 48.000 in chips he is one of the players in the chiplead, this looks promising! More info about the hands is coming in soon.

Molle is not scared for his new table, he is re raising and pushing with everybody at the table, these actions has taken him up to about 32.000 in chips.

Ramzi Jelassi, 18.000
Joao Gabriel Fernandes, 30.000

We now have 1 level to go, which means 60 minutes more of tasty blog posts!

Ivo Donev, also known as the chess master, a real mastermind. Ivo had 6.000 in chips when he got dealt two 6s on the Dealer position, for him this was an easy push, then the Frenchman to his left makes the call and shows A-10. A coinflip as the pokerplayers call it, the flop is not good and shows a 10, the turn is an A, and no help on the river.

Ivo was very angry on the Frenchman, he thought it was the worst call he had seen today, and that this player who made the call don’t know how to play poker.

Molle has now changed table again and now he is put next to the young famous pokergirl Anette Oberstad, this is the table that has taken Gus Hansen, Bertrand “Elky” Grospellier and Michael Tureniec, so he’s got to watch out.

No bigger changes in the chip stacks:
Toni, 20.000
Ramzi, 13.000
Molle, 26.000
Joao Gabriel, 35.000
