A Sweep Across the Room
So what is going on around the tournament area?
It is very quiet actually; so quiet in fact that Team Pokerstars Pro, Victoria Coren, is managing to catch a few power naps in between hands. Obviously her trips on the London Tube have in come in for handy power napping practice.
Team Pokerstars Pro, Theo Jorgensen, is in the house and getting involved. We caught up with him getting involved in the following hand. A player from early position raised to 150 and there were four callers including Jorgensen. The flop was and the early position raiser made it 300 to play and there were three callers including Jorgensen. The turn was a very interesting and the action was checked over to Vytautas Milvydas in the cut-off who made it 1,100 to play and it was enough to take down the pot.
Over at table 5 we have the reigning champion Jake Cody and EPT Prague 7th place finisher Manuel Bevand are sitting side by side. We caught up with them both in this hand. There was an early position raise for 400 and Bevand called in the cut-off before Cody also called on the button; both blinds also came along for the ride. The flop was and the Small Blind led out with a bet of 1,325 and everyone but Bevand folded; Bevand made the call.
The turn was the and again the Player is the Small Blind led out, this time for 2,325. Bevand again made the call. The river was the and the Small Blind made it 5,000 to play and Bevand finally surrendered his hand.
