Partouche Poker Tour Main Event Post Day 2: Gus Hansen 4th Place, 583.800

What a day. This is going to be a brief update as I need to relax and sit quietly in-front of the 2k/4k Full Tilt table as preparation for day 3! I started out thunder and lightning. My 75k was increasing steadily and I felt ready to work my stack should the right occasion arise. Little did I...

Home Sweet Home!

Recap: End of day 1a of the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event and I am off to bed after bagging 74.500 chips. I am in 11th place. More to follow below. One of the most common questions I am asked is: Where is your home? My usual answer is that I was born in Denmark, I live in Monaco and I spend a...

Vacation Time is Great!

Forgive me, my friends. It has been a long time since my last confession J. To be honest, I have been feeling drained and not really in the mood to sit down and spill my beans after the WSOP. After a disappointing exit from the Main Event, I went straight from Vegas to Monaco and Cannes to be a...

The Aggressive, the Hyper-Aggressive and the Sick Aggressive

Here it goes. The brief version of my bust-out from the Main Event. The short analysis of how I got all 80 % of my money into a pot holding Q high and an up and down straight draw. I have already seen quite a few comments floating in cyperspace and after thinking it over for a couple of days,...

188 Opponents left and Counting - I am in 21st

I am now in 21st place and my decisions are getting better and better. I have slowed down my game just a little bit but my intuition is in full alert - if it feels like I have the best hand, a raise is coming up! Besides all the regular stealing, two major hands defined my day 4. It only took my...

Good Table Draw for Day 4

I had hoped that I would make it farther into this year's Main Event before my ass was really on the line. Unfortunately half way through Day 3 I was in that spot. For the first time during two and a half days I put all my money in the middle and a guy who had me covered called. On the other...

Freeze - Day 3 Approaching

Although I certainly didn't play like a rock during day 2 of the Main Event, nothing, I mean absolutely nothing had happened to my chip stack at the end of the day. I start day 3 with 95,000 chips to play with which compared to last years' 600,000 is petty cash. So who to blame for my...

102,900 - Off to a Good Start

Thank God for Painkillers! I arrived at the Main Event yesterday with a splitting headache and a temperature running at 102. Not really the kind of physical condition I had envisioned but I was seriously running out of Main Event start days so I had to sit down and get into the groove regardless...

Book signing tomorrow at 2 PM at the Rio

I am laying low right now. The HORSE tournament was one long struggle and although I wasn't too happy about my overall performance, I actually had several chances to get back in contention at rather crucial moments. Didn't play the PLO tournament as my body protested to any more long...

Optimal HORSE preparation on Full Tilt.

Crap - I only have about half my stack in the HORSE tournament going into day 2. No comments really - started out like lightning and thunder but immediately after dinner break I was bleeding chips pretty badly. Anything can happen - I will be trying to make a move early today. No big excuses for...
