FTOPS $2500 Hands
I will finally post the hands from the last two days of EPT Baden soon. In the meantime, here are the hands from the FTOPS $2500 event which started Saturday afternoon:

It's a hand that I'm sure is painful to recount, but I'm trying to learn the art of the "big laydown" so I would love to hear your mental process on each street here (questions you are asking yourself, hands you put him on as you gain more info, his image vs your image, etc).
