Update 15.00 Francesco triples up

Francesco just tripled up! A short UTG player pushed all-in, Francesco called and the player next to him repushed. We had a three-way showdown, with the first player showing AJ, Francesco a pair of sevens and the third guy AQ. The board came 5 rags and Francesco now is back to 97k.

Thomas is steadily over 300k.

Update 18.30 We're in the money! And Francesco triples up again!!

Thomas and Francesco are in the money here in Copenhagen! After a 2-hour long bubble, with Francesco extremely short stacked, we finally have a bubble boy and our players can cheer!

Half an hour later Francesco triples up again: two short stack players push ahead of him while he's on the big blind and he spikes Queens. He makes the call. The showdown is A8 A3 for the two short stacks. No ace on the board and Francesco climbs to 190k. What a ride!!

On the other side, Thomas is apparently cruising through Day3 effortlessly. He's sitting with over 460k when the average is 264k.

Good job guys!

Update 21.30 Bad news: Thomas is out

Thomas is out in 29th position. Our danish Live the Dream Team member played excellent poker and climbed to over 500k, busting notable players such as Juha Hellpi. He lost most of his stack with a very unlucky hand: KK vs AJs. The french guy with AJ hit a straight on the river.

Francesco is still in. He was back on the ropes again, with less than 90k, that is 8 big blinds and he was the shortest stack in the tournament. Then he won three hands uncontested in a row and finally doubled up against the two chipleaders, Roberto Romanello and Andrew Tang.
Roberto raised to 40k, Andrew called and Francesco pushed his remaining 120k. Roberto folded, Andrew called showing QT. Francesco had a good pair of Queens. Now Francesco is up to 280k.

Update 22.15 Day 3 is over, 24 left, Francesco is in!!
Francesco finishes Day3 with 269k. He's still below average but tomorrow he has the chance to play at the TV table of this EPT Copenhagen. Great achievement for his first tournament as a sponsored player!
"It was a very strange day indeed"- says Francesco. "I had to play the waiting game because I've been card dead for most of the day and I started very short stacked. When the cards came my way I won two 3-way showdowns. But I have to say I was ahead pre-flop both times. And then I won the last double up with QQ against QT, so way ahead again.
Now the next goal is the final table!".
