EPT Copenhagen: Level seven rumbles

Looking in one direction only means you're missing what's taking place behind you, so here are the latest dispatches from the floor...

Thomas Peterson pushed all-in for a few thousand on a flop of 8♥-7♥-K♠. After Michael Schultz folded it fell to Austrian Marcus Golser to oblige with the call, but not before flexing his eyebrows in thought for a while and squeezing the colour out of the chips in his hand.

When he did call he was ahead, his K-3 beating Peterson's dangerous looking A♥-9♥ flush draw. But it would only last so long. It wasn't the flush but the ace on the river that bailed out Peterson.

Theo Jorgensen in tense but happier times

Theo Jorgensen's reign as today's chip leader just lost some of its foundation. He called an all-in on a flop of 3♣-7♣-5♦, putting fear into the eyes of his opponent when he showed his pair of red kings, dwarfing the opposing pocket eights. Jorgensen didn't count on runner-runner clubs though, completing an unlikely flush and prompting some Danish words of fury of the expletive style.

Just a dignified handshake for Peter Eastgate's departure, although some people would say he had nine million other reasons to look on the bright side.

Peter Eastgate

He pushed in for his last 4,200 from middle position with Soren Kongsgaard moving all in from the small blind for another 4,000 on top. That kept the others out and made it a heads up affair, the showdown revealing Eastgates's T♣-8♥ to Kongsgaard's A♠-6♠. Nothing but blanks on the board and Eastgate finds the door.

Earlier, the World Champ found time to give us all a lesson in speaking Danish...
