Summary of Andrej’s days at this year’s EPT Warsaw

Day 1

Andrej Nagy, Slovakia represented PokerLoco at this year’s EPT Warsaw and he got off to a great start on day 1 when he hit a full house on the first hand. During the first two levels of play Andrej went from starting chips at 10’000 to 18’000 and was looking good. After losing 8’000 chips against an aggressive player Andrej switched seat just to end up with poker star Johnny Lodden to his left. After going agains Lodden with a pair of aces on the hand, Lodden folded after Nagy’s raise on the turn and Andrej Nagy ended the day with 5600 in chips.

Day 2

Andrej planned on gambling during day 2 with blinds going up to 300/600 and on the fifth hand he managed to pocket kings while sitting on Big Blind. Perfect! After winning that hand he went up to 14’000 in chips and was once again looking good. He then had to wait about 25 hands before finally hitting another great hand, Ace King suited and went all-in just to be called by a guy holding pocket Jacks. The flop came with K, 8, 5. The turn showed a 4 and Andrej was looking like the winner, the only thing that could ruin his plans was if Jack came up on the River. The River came… and it showed, a Jack!! That meant the end to Andrej’s run at the EPT Warsaw and indeed it was unlucky with the guy hitting his only out on the River.

Andrej has planned to play the upcoming EPT Prague, PCA EPT, LAPT and of course next year’s WSOP. We wish him all the best in any future live events!
