Action Andrew and Delightful Daniel

Nível 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Andrew Moreno and Daniel Negreanu
Andrew Moreno and Daniel Negreanu

Andrew Moreno, the better half of PokerNews' very own Kristy Arnett, is seated to the direct right of Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu at a table that also includes Sofia Lovgren. Moreno has been involved a bit early, both in the action at the table and with the chatter between he and Negreanu. Topics of conversation have been poker, Choice Center, Instagram, LeBron James, cell phones, and much more.

On the first of many hands, Kresz Peter opened to 350 in the seat to the right of Moreno, before Moreno three-bet to 900. Peter called, and the flop came down {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. After Peter checked, Moreno bet 1,000. Peter folded.

Several hands later, Moreno was in the big blind, Peter in the small blind, and David Breitfuss had the button. Action folded to Breitfuss, and he opened with a raise to 300. Peter called, then Moreno three-bet to 1,050. Breitfuss folded, but Peter came along to see the flop, which produced the {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Peter then check-called a bet of 850 from Moreno.

The turn was the {5-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {K-Hearts} land on the river. Both checked again. Peter showed the {A-Spades}{2-Spades}, but Moreno's {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} had the better kicker, and he won the pot.

On the very next hand, Peter raised to 300 on the button, Moreno called from the small blind, and Negreanu called from the big blind. All three players in action then checked the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop before the {J-Spades} was added to the board on the turn. Moreno led with a bet of 425, Negreanu folded, but Peter called. After the {A-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Moreno check-folded to Peter's bet of 525.

The next hand, Moreno had the button, and Negreanu proclaimed to the table that he was "going to three-bet more often than not on this hand." Action then folded to Peter in the cutoff seat, and he opened to 300. Negreanu got excited, as things were lining up for him to stay true to his word, but then Moreno got in the way with a three-bet of his own and made it 825 to go. Negreanu looked at his hand, then told the table he definitely would have three-bet if Moreno hadn't, pointing to his right. A player at the table suggested Negreanu could have four-bet after he folded, but Negreanu explained that he doesn't four-bet, or five-bet, or six-bet, and that "all those kids that used to do that are broke." The table got a good laugh.

Back to the hand, though. Peter made the call to see the {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop. Both checked, and the turn was the {7-Hearts}. Both checked again, then the river was the {3-Clubs}. Peter led for 1,100, and Moreno made the call.

Peter had rivered a flush with the {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, and Moreno mucked his hand.

"Oh man! You would've smashed me there! I had king-eight!" exclaimed Negreanu.

Where Are They Now: Season 3 EPT Barcelona Champ Bjorn-Erik Glenne

Nível 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

The buy-in was upped again in 2006, this time jumping to €5,000, and again the number of entries increased as 480 players took to the felt, creating a prize pool of €2,304,000. For the third year in a row the final table included big names including Jeff Lisandro and Phil Ivey, who finished sixth and second respectively. It’s not often Ivey loses heads up, but he did to Norway’s Bjorn-Erik Glenne, who was a former chess champion turned poker pro.

The $875,404 Glenne earned for that score was by far the biggest of his career up to that point; in fact, prior to that he had just two cashes for $10,486. After winning, Glenne attempted to live the life of a poker pro and looked like he might be able to do it after finishing 65th in the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event for $130,288 and 35th in the €7,700 EPT Barcelona Open a month later for $20,027. Unfortunately for him, his pro aspirations dwindled and died after that.

Glenne’s only other cash came in February 2009 when he took second in the European Masters of Poker €1,000 No Limit Hold’em in Tallinn for $56,383. Since then, Glenne has not been in the media spotlight.

Where Are They Now: Season 2 EPT Barcelona Champ Jan Boubli

Nível 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

In 2005, the EPT Barcelona bumped the buy-in up the €4,200 and it didn’t deter as 327 players entered to create a prize pool of €284,000. That year’s final table included some names you’re no doubt familiar with in Gus Hansen and Patrik Antonius, who finished in fifth and third place respectively. The final table of eight, which was comprised of six different nationalities, was eventually conquered by France’s Jan Boubli, who captured the €426,000 first place prize.

Boubli was no stranger to poker as he had earned five figures every year before that dating back to 1996, including 2003 when he won $286,073. That was thanks to a runner-up finish to David Benyamine in the World Poker Tour €10,000 Grand Prix de Paris, which earned him $205,443.

After winning the EPT Barcelona in Season 2, Boubli went on to win $61,790 in 2006 followed by a paltry $7,121 in 2007. He failed to cash in 2008, but then he stormed back in 2009 when he took fourth in the €10,000 Grand Prix de Paris for $139,259. Four other cashes that year brought his yearly total up to $259,503. In 2010, Boubli’s winnings dropped to $15,035 after a single cash — 71st-place in the EPT Barcelona, which was his last documented tournament cash.

As you can see, it's going to be a day jam packed with action fueled by some of the biggest names in the game. The plan for the day is to play eight 75-minute levels with a staggered dinner break (meaning half the room will go on dinner first with the other half going upon their return). Action is set to kick off at Noon local time, which is just over an hour from now. Be sure to to check back then for all the live updates from the tournament floor.
