European Poker Tour Copenhagen -- Day 4

Out of the 24 players who started day 4 of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Copenhagen, a final table had to be found. With some interesting players left on the battle grounds at start of play, the day was clearly not going to be a walk in the park.

The most well-known player of them all failed to make his third EPT final table this season, but as always, did his homeland proud. Team PokerStars Pro player Peter Eastgate [pictured right] bet 27,000 and Jesper Petersen called from the big blind. The flop came Q J 6. Petersen checked, Eastgate bet 31,000 and Petersen called. The turn was the A. And once again Petersen checked, followed by a bet from Eastgate, this time for 69,000. Petersen then raised and Eastgate shoved all in and the two revealed their cards.

Eastgate had pocket jacks for the set but Petersen flipped over K 10 for the straight. The 7 river didn’t change anything and Eastgate left in 22nd place for DKK 80,000.

Another big knockout came in the form of Brit Andrew Teng. His demise began when he doubled up Magnus Hansen and then in the very next hand let Hansen deliver the fatal blow. Hansen raised to 47,000, and Teng moved all in for 373,000. Hansen hesitated but then made the call showing A J. Teng turned over K Q and the board came A 9 3 5 8. Teng, eager for a final table appearance, had to make do with a close-but-no-cigar 12th and DKK 155,000.

Play then continued in search of the final eight but after American PokerStars qualifier Paul Szyszko left in 10th place for DKK 215,000, it soon became clear that Szyszko was, in fact, the final table bubble boy. Just after 10 p.m., players and staff agreed that at the end of that level, the tournament would end for the night. This means there will be a ninehanded final table today and you can catch more from the event from the PokerStars blog feed or witness the action as it happens from the live streaming video on the EPT Live feed.

Other notable busts included Stig Rossen in 19th place (DKK 80,000) and Italian Nicolo Calia in 24th (DKK 80,000).

Here is the final nine and their chip counts:

Francesco De Vivo (Italy) 2,073,000
