GSOP Live Day 2 + Final table – for our Russian speaking followers.

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

Второй день начался с быстрых вылетов игроков – как наших, так и в общем. За первые 3 часа игры из 91 игрока, принимающих участие во втором дне, осталось меньше 60-ти. Из наших же 8 игроков за это время из игры вышло четверо. К сожалению, Евгений Лощаков оказался среди них, проиграв свой стек c TT против JJ. В финал прошло 9 игроков, среди которых 2 игрока RedKings: Тони Ояла (ПРО) и Янне Салонен. Фины умеют играть в покер.

Teppo Joentausta out

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

We have 7 players left. Teppo Joentausta went allin for 238k from the button, Kristian Salonen tanked for a while before going allin with KJo from the SB: Teppo had JThh and the board ran 634hh 8x Ax

A bit before Teppo´s elimination Janne lost a pretty big pot blind vs blind to Tomi-Ville´s jacks, but has since made one resteal and picked up some blinds.

Toni handcuffed by his position

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

Toni has not been involved much so far, he has a 25bbish and has a pretty inconvenient position with the big active stacks Tomi-Ville and Morten, not to mention Janne with a nice resteal stack on his left. We know Toni has the patience to overcome the situation go all the way in the tournament.

How to prepare for a Final Table?

“I opened a bottle of champagne from the minibar and drank it in the bath” -Janne Salonen

Seems to be working so far, Janne picked up some blinds before the break and just won a decent sized pot raising all-in on the flop from the bb after Tomi-Ville had limped the SB and bet the flop

Player out

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

Kristian Salonen opened, Juho M. moved all in and Tomi-Ville Hytti moved all in from the big blind, Kristian folded.

Hytti Ajo

Juho 66

Board Jxx A x and Juho is out. Congratulations to Juho it was an impressive performance worth 8300€.

Janne picks up his first pot

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

The players are certainly not nervous to get involved in pots, in the first hand we saw an EP raise, call from Tomi-Ville Hytti and a raise from Morten, only to be followed by all-in from Hytti. Morten folded so we still have 9 players.

The second hand Janne opened the button, and Teppo called in the bb. Janne took the pot down with a continuation bet.

Final 9

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

Koen is out 11th. He got unlucky in a pot before, and then showed shortstack with A7s form the cutoff and couldn´t suckout on his opponent´s AJ.

He would have deserved better.

We were out with Koen while the 10th player went out so unfortunately we don´t have a story, but we are now down to the final table.

Toni and Janne going to war

Friday, October 8th, 2010

Janne 40k from UTG, Toni raises, Janne all in about 400. Toni is really struggling with the decision, trying to get Janne to talk, but eventually folds.

Chat afterwards:

T: “You had a hand?”

J: ” A pair”

T: “Big pair”

J: “Probably something similar to what you had”

Then Janne opens button, and Toni raises, making Janne uneasy before folding.
