Antes Out

The small pots continue to be exchanged. There are no antes running at this stage, just the standard 10000/20000 blinds.

This one is simmering nicely. I feel one big clash will end this very soon.

After a 15 minute time out, everyone reconvened for the heads-up battle. The press surrounded the table and then.........the TD says "OK, no more than 40 minutes!"

It seems the players negotiated a dinner break. The press hordes groaned and those lucky enough to have ringside seats picked up their towels again.

Speculation is that a deal will be discussed but that's only press whispers. No sources are known nor ratified!!

500/1 not bad

An interesting story was told by Peter Jepsen to Andy Black while the latter was commentating. Jepsen apparently tilted last week in Las Vegas and lost a chunk of money. Following this, a Scandinavian bookmaker laid odds of 500/1 on Jepsen to win the EPT in Poland! Although there is a bet limit, a good number of players took the bet on including Jepsen himself, given that the maximum number of players was under 300!

There is a bookmaker sincerely hoping that Farid Meraghni wins the heads-up duel about to commence here in Warsaw.

No getting away from this for John

John Conroy Rockets Out

After much cagey play with blinds being surrendered for about 20 minutes, Conroy on the button and first to act, raised the big blind of 16k to 46k. Peter Jepsen pondered and then re-raised to 150k.

Farid then looked as though he would like to get involved but finally passed.

Conroy said "All-in" with his remaining 500k or more. Jepsen said "Call" instantly.

Conroy showed {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Peter {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

Flop of {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} looked bad for John and he reached over to shake the hand of Jepsen.

The {Q-Clubs} turn sealed it.

Round of applause for the Poles

Ireland's Andy Black has now gone back to his lucrative cash game after his stint at the microphone. Before departing he told everyone that he has played in poker tournaments all around the world but said he has been highly impressed with the way in which the Polish organisers, with some help from the EPT, have handled what has been by far the biggest poker event they have held at this casino. Andy praised their helpfulness whenever things go wrong, as they do at all tournaments. A hearty round of applause followed.
