Well he certainly had a chance, and when Severin Hovde found pocket sevens a few hands in he no doubt figured his opportunity had come. He pushed with his 27k, getting a call from Joris Jaspers with A-4. Joris might like the omen this flop brought – A-5-4. Two pairs for the Dutchman, 39th place for Severin and DKK63,259 or € 8,487.

If you saw the video blogs earlier this week you may have seen American player Danny Ryan who for the PCA alone won between 15 and 20 seats, walking the streets of Copenhagen for a breather. He’s not going anywhere yet and spoke to Kara Scott before cards took to the air...

Whilst Danny Ryan smiles his way through the first level Trond Eidsvig, he of Rookie of the Year fame at the Scandinavian Poker Awards, was seen heading for the door and out. Widely tipped to make a big impact today and reach a third EPT final in season four alone (after Barcelona and Dublin), he started with 159k but was out by the careering hand of Joris Jaspers – his A-T quashed by the Q-J of Joris on a T-9-9-8-2 board.

Torbjorn Jonson, Michael Eriksson and Peter Eastgate have also been eliminated. Eastgate was the leader going into day two yesterday but his tournament has run its course, out in 33rd place.
