EPT San Remo: Day 1A, level 4, 5 & 6 updates (blinds 200-400, ante 50)

And Mattern led for 2,600 and then moved all-in after the original raiser made it 7,000 to go. The other players folded in between all this action and Mattern's opponent called all-in with top set of jacks. The turn and river blanked and the Frenchman was left with six big blinds.

These remaining chips went in and with jack-seven soon after but the small blind woke up with queens and that was that. -- MC

9.20pm: Cody's exit - NSFW Former EPT champion Anton Wigg's tournament is over and he wouldn't call it a classic. He got short early and has been grinding away for a few levels getting shorter and shorter. We last saw him with a stack worth less than 4,000 and he said he didn't mind if he busted as he could go and watch the El Classico football match between Real Madrid and Barcelona that's taking place. His seat was empty when we passed him again so you'll likely find him in a bar in the local vicinity. -- MC

8.58pm: First man down after dinner As Jake Cody goes out, Ramzi Jelassi moves up to more than 70,000 against an overly keen Filippo Galtieri.

Jelassi had opened the previous pot but one for 1,000 only to get no takers, flashing at least one ace as he mucked his cards. Then, as Galtieri opened for 1,000 in the cut off, Jelassi raised to 3,000 in the big blind, getting a call from Galtieri.

The flop came I picked out Morten Mortensen as a player to watch on Day 2 of EPT Snowfest and the young Dane made it all the way to the final table. I'm picking him out again despite the fact he's only got 36,000 at this mid-point of the day. The reason being is that he's a player who doesn't seem to be worried about getting involved and, if previous play is anything to go by, wins a lot of pots without showdown both pre- and post-flop.

A player that won't be going deep here is Jake Cody who has lost all his chips. Just in case you didn't reaslise, that means he's been knocked out. I saw him shaking hands with David Sands and walk to the other side of the tournament floor. -- RD

Then, just as half the field got up to leave, Martin Jacobson was leaving for good, his tournament brought to an end by Masaaki Kagawa.

The Japanese opened for 900 from the hijack which Ludvik Sindri Ludviksson raised to 2,500 from the cutoff. Jacobson was on the button and plonked his chips into the middle, all 15,825 of them. With the action back on him, Kagawa announced that he was all-in, for just short of 40,000. Predictably Ludviksson passed, leaving Jacobson to turn over Galen Hall won $2,300,000 in January when he took down the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.
