Title: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Djinn on March 29, 2007, 03:17:19 AM Well, there's no point in pretending that we're not a good ways towards the start of Day 1B now, as we wrap up for the night on Day 1A... We'll be back at 2pm (1pm UK time) for the same thing, all over again, with different (but no less well-known) players to follow through the start to the marathon that is the €10k EPT Grand Final.
Good luck all playing today. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Sheriff Fatman on March 29, 2007, 03:26:25 AM You guys are far too keen!
I may be tempted into a wicked deletion later to ruin all your dreams of pre-preparedness!! Good job today, now get some rest! Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 05:38:03 AM Gonna hit the sack in 20 mins or so, but before I do, just a quick reminder that if you want us to follow a player, whatever his/her nationality, then be sure to tell us who that person is early doors, because once they've broken from their original table, it's a real needle in a haystack job when we don't know what they look like.
cheers, snoops ;snoopy; Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: MrBlair on March 29, 2007, 07:20:16 AM Please can you give updates on Richard Waters ( Wales ) . He is starting off on table 20 seat 5 . Thanks

Let's just hope Beppe Le Pew doesn't cause a stink today and cleans up yet again.

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 01:48:00 PM An earlier request for Nicholas Goodhall may be a toughie - he played yesterday and finished Day 1A with 46,225 in chips.

I also bumped into a few Mateyboys, one of which was this chirpy beige trousers sandal wearing satchel carrying chappy. Anyone know him?
He seemed a bit new to the game, so I passed on a few tips. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: bonniemonster on March 29, 2007, 01:51:26 PM good luck to all...
Could you let me know how Roy Brindley is doing.

Two Luton Bulldozers! Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 01:54:16 PM Jeff Lisandro & Willie Tann - I'd swear that they were brothers!

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Djinn on March 29, 2007, 02:05:46 PM 20 minutes in and it's already first ruling from Thomas Kremser for Antony Mackay - one of the Americans (surely) just made one of those cut-bets holding a bigger stack over the line and taking some back after he'd put a couple hundred in, as is standard in the World Series, and disallowed in the UK. There is a yellow line round the table, but apparently it's not a betting line in the traditional sense, and that kind of bet is in fact allowed. American 1; Tony 0. Let's just hope the dealer doesn't call time on him...

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 29, 2007, 02:09:53 PM Marcel Luske is OUT already. We think he held A-x on a A-T-A-3-2 rainbow board and bet all the way and was called all the way and put in on the river by... 4d 5d
Yes, we don't know how this one happened either... Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: The Sweeney on March 29, 2007, 02:13:33 PM Please can you give updates on Richard Waters ( Wales ) . He is starting off on table 20 seat 5 . Thanks I second that motion. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 02:15:12 PM In the event of no player list turning up, which is a bit of a bummer, here are a few players I spotted. Quite a few!
Roy Brindley Michael Greco Arnaud Mattern Ram Vaswani Jan Heitman Nick Slade Mads Anderssen Gunner Ostebrod Des Jonas Arshad Hussain Tomas Brolin Thomas Fougeron Bruno Fitoussi Dave Ulliott Philip Hilm Paul Testud Osman Mustangolu Iwan Jones Michaela Johansson Jeff Lisandro Emad T Xuyen Pham Ian Woodley Richard Herbert Jim Kerrigan Torstein Iversen Vicky Coren Nick Jenkins John Kabbaj Philip Yeh Jeff Rogers Richard Redmond Joe Beevers Phil Ivey Chad Brown Karl Mahrenholz Praz Bansi Anders Berg Tony Chessa Vanessa Rousso B Cohen Paul Linton Jerome Bradpiece Julian Gardner Richard Ashby Bjorn Glenne JJ Hazan Joe Hachem Mel Judah Surinder Sunar Brian Townsend Michael Keiner Martin De Knijff Rory Matthews Keith Hawkins Marcel Luske Isabelle Mercier Henning Granstad Gus Hansen Juha Helppi Sverre Sundbo Oscar!!! ElkY Kollman Willie Tann Jim Reid Des Jonas Peter Gould Andy Black Paul Alterman Patrik Antonius Marc Goodwin And there are even more, but my hands are about to drop off. :'( Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Djinn on March 29, 2007, 02:16:16 PM Hit Squad team mates Praz Bansi and Karl Mahrenholz have landed on the same starting table. It looks like Karl is still asleep. When he wakes up I reckon it could be tough for the people between them, but only because they're so competitive against each other...
Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 02:19:28 PM And for the Dusk Till Dawn fans out there, we have two of your bigger, but lesser known faces in Odd Lavik (who played and survived Day 1A) and Frederik Ostervold (right), who is one of the Ask The Pro's on the DTD board on the blonde forum. Top lads and mean poker players, not even tikay could stop these two hotshots! ;carlocitrone;

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 02:25:09 PM I'd like to see more pics of Snoopy's pink tennis shoes that irked Chris Moneymaker yesterday. I may treat you during the break. To be honest, I had a few strong words with Moneymaker at the end of day's play just to sort out our differences. I think he's bucked up his ideas now, but if he steps out of line again I'll send him a message from the guns. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 29, 2007, 02:25:53 PM This is Brian Townsend, who High Stakes Poker fans should recognise.
Henning Granstad, Gus Hansen and Juha Helppi all share this table. Baden Winner Thang Duc Nguyen and Blondeite Nick 'Ripple11' Jenkins. Isabelle, hiding from my camera, for Surprise.

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 02:33:12 PM Before I venture back into the fray, let's not forget that the Godfather of Poker is here in Monte Carlo. He may look simple, but he has the brain of a rocket scientist.
"Look at this teapot, isn't it odd," comments an observant genius. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: AndrewT on March 29, 2007, 02:34:03 PM This is Brian Townsend, who High Stakes Poker fans should recognise. And who took $175K from Ram in a totally sick 300/600 NL heads-up game on Monday in which both players seemed to be allergic to their fold buttons. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 29, 2007, 02:40:44 PM Early bit of Mateyboy squared action. Amazing, €10k buy-in and these things still happen.
Jh 7h 3h MB1 has Qh Qc, MB2 has 9h 6h Turn: 2d River: 3c Sometimes it's impossible to see how 300BB's can get in the middle there...

Supremely confident as ever, JJ has just started his own website. And another finalist from Amsterdam who recently proved that that wasn't a fluke by winning the GUKPT in Walsall outright with what appeared to be effortless chip-gaining - Jerome Bradpiece, slightly hidden behind dealer, but still recognisable due to permanent red hat. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Snatiramas on March 29, 2007, 02:49:03 PM Snoopy, stop taking glamour pics of Chubbs and get to the cardroom!

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 02:53:31 PM Caught a small but interesting pot involving the Lizard, Tony Bloom. With the board readin 5d 9s Qs 2s Kd, Bloom's 2k bet on the River was reluctantly called by his reluctant Scandinavian opponent who meekly revealed a potentially dominated 5s 4s. Bloom took it down with 8s 7s, but I think his opponent did well to lose so little.
Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: ariston on March 29, 2007, 02:55:36 PM Brian Ashby? Is that Richard Ashby's twin brother?

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Djinn on March 29, 2007, 02:57:52 PM Table Greco has neighbours Rumit Somaiya and Sverre Sundbo on it - I heard the Cardiff winner saying "nice hand" which I assume meant he'd just lost a pot, but his stack looks OK so it must have been a small early one.
Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 29, 2007, 02:58:38 PM Brian Ashby? Is that Richard Ashby's twin brother?

Board = 2d Js 4h Devilfish bet 300, Hilm called. Turn = Qd check check River = Jd Devilfish bets the pot, Hilm folds. Devilfish, as relaxed, smarmy and laid back as ever, up to 13,625 after an initial dip.

A lot quieter than usual, the popular Welshman called a 300 pre-flop raise from the big blind (along with three others) and then 700 bet on the Jh 6c Ad Flop. Turn came the 5c, and, once again the initial raiser bet out, this time 1.3k. Roberto smooth called, and then yet again on the 7c River (2.1k), only to be shown Ahrt Jc. Roberto shook his head and slowly mucked his cards.

The Flop read 4d 5h 6d, and Marc and there was around 900 in the pot, but Marc took a shot with Ac Qh, which, incredibly, was behind Mateyboys Pocket Deuces. Ks Turn and 9h River was of no help.

Yes he is Jules, I'll get his count in a bit. Meanwhile, I saw everyone rushing round one table, a big hand? No, Phil Helmuth has arrived. He's on the same table as Kirderf. Also playing today is former French International Footballer, Vikash Dharasoo. If you had the original Championship Manager 3, you'll remember he was a good buy as a DMRC (Defensive Midfielder Right/Centre) Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Djinn on March 29, 2007, 03:58:20 PM Xuyen 'Bad Girl' Pham may well be the early chip leader after she removed all of one opponent's chips in two bites:
After she called a preflop raise with Kh 4h, a pleasing triple heart flop came down, and Seat 1 bet when she checked to him. She wasted no time in check-raising, and was called. The turn was a blank - she check-raised for a second time, and despite this show of strength, didn't dislodge Seat 1 from calling. The river brought a fourth heart - not the ideal card by any means, and now she checked, and faced a 5,000 river bet. Husband and railer Steve Vladar said that "she called before she could talk herself out of it," and was shown 7-4 in return... So, up to 22k in level One. After the first break, she got involved with the same guy again, seeing a multiway flop with 4s 4d and hitting the ever-hoped-for set...there was a heart flush draw with it, however, and Seat 1 was still there on the turn when the flush hit. He got his shorter stack all-in on the turn, showing Jh 9h for the made flush, but the board paired on the river and we had one very unhappy OutMatey. Tablemate Casey Kastle added the colour to the end of this story, saying that the guy went bonkers when he busted and pushed over all the glasses on his table, banging the other tables on his stormy way out, breaking a lot of, I imagine, very pricey Monte Carlo tableware. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 03:59:08 PM Had to smile earlier on. One guy had a 'friend' come up to the table and give him a quick peck for good luck. The players on the table looked like they'd just seen tikay streaking. :D
Hmm, homosexuality isn't particularly rife in poker.

Is Lee wearing a Hawaiian shirt? - if not get him to change quick. He's wearing a Pokerstars shirt, I played for about an hour with Lee in the media tournament. He was very funny and a true gent. Apparently he's got another book coming out soon called 'Kill Everyone' which is a sequel to 'Kill Phil' and not, I'm guessing, a guide on becoming a serial killer.

Apparently there was quite a bit of commotion earlier when Devilfish (apparently) laid down Kings to Aces - but since I have only the faintest of hearsay to go on with that one I'll talk about a hand I saw him win instead... Playing against Philip Hilm (we think - he had different facial hair at the last event) I saw them staring at a 2h 3d Tc flop intently after Devilfish bet 1,500. When he got called, he asked the old, "How much you got?" one, and then stared at the Ad turn before throwing in 4,000. This is quite a chunky bet; Hilm dwelled for ages before eventually passing, and Ulliott (pictured below) showed his 7h 7d, for some reason.

I've just spoken to Azad. His table he says, is 'very good' meaning they are very bad, he value bet a Queen on the river of a A-K-Q-9-2 board and got paid off by Eights. He's lost most of his chips having to pass A-Q, A-K type hands having missed on the flop to the table frenchmen who don't fold anything at ever. He could easily end up with a huge stack if he starts hitting flops though.

Wish him luck from me (Gab) if you happen to walk past and you're not in too much of a rush! ;) Edit: Also, if all you are looking for is a random poker related pic of Arnaud (or Nic for that matter) you might find a few @ here (http://www.teamrobusto.com). If, instead, you want a EPT one from Monaco we'll just have to rely on you ;P Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Kopper on March 29, 2007, 05:06:36 PM Any news on ladbrokes players, Richard Wild.

Snoop, from what I remember, other members include Daniel Larsson (Fragell), Tomas Martinsson (Five_Aces) and others, I believe they all have a buddha card protector so that should be a clue :) Wish him all the best from me pls and great work as always. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 05:11:52 PM They are still a LOT of players left, so the chip counts are going to come in quarters. Gaps indicate a new table.
Iwan Jones -- 8,150 Andy Black -- 8,325 Cristiano Blanco -- 15,400 Nick Slade -- 25,850 Mads Anderssen -- 16,350 Ariel Adda -- 22,000 Ash Hussain -- 12,350 Jonas Molander -- 13,100 Bengt Sonnert -- 17,825 Mohammed Hassan -- 9,700 Tomas Brolin -- 24,100 Thomas Fougeron -- 13,900 Bruno Fitoussi -- 5,300 Dave Ulliott -- 23,450 Philip Hilm -- 7,925 Paul Testud -- 26,250 Roy Brindley -- 24,475 Osman Mustanoglu -- 19,950 Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Djinn on March 29, 2007, 05:15:12 PM Spoke to the Camel in the break - he said, "I'm on 15,050. Ran into quads and lost the minimum." Ad 7d on an A-7-J board... picked up a flush draw on the turn, too, but the Jack on the river slowed him down. If it had been the Seven, I'm sure there would have been more damage...and so's he.
_________________________ Richard Redmond is OUT - never one to sit quietly, he's one of those lots-or-no-chips players. This time he raised one from the cutoff with A-K. The small blind called, and the big blind re-raised to 700. He made the pot extra big here, raising to 2,500, which meant that the later bets were of a size which could consume a stack...anyway, the big blind called, and the flop came King high. Big blind checked, and so did Squelch - not sure what was going on here, but there appeared an Ace on the turn, which kicked off the betting which went: 5k, all-in, call rather quickly. The big blind turned out to have Aces, and Richard was drawing dead on that enticing-looking turn card. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 05:15:25 PM Phil Ivey is OUT.
According to my secret source (anagram STEVE VLADRA), Ivey had T-6 and had reached the Turn with Patrik Antonius on a 3-5-6-T board (2 diamonds). Ivey moved all-in for 6.5k (about 10k already in the pot) only for Anonius to call for half his stack with a massive draw, 9d 7d. Qd on the River and Ivey was gone. He is currently in the press room receiving tutoring from Floppy. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: maldini32 on March 29, 2007, 05:22:26 PM Meanwhile, I saw everyone rushing round one table, a big hand? No, Phil Helmuth has arrived. He's on the same table as Kirderf. Also playing today is former French International Footballer, Vikash Dharasoo. If you had the original Championship Manager 3, you'll remember he was a good buy as a DMRC (Defensive Midfielder Right/Centre) [/quote] Im sure he was in the french world cup squad last year! Last i heard about him PSG sacked him, not sure wot for....maybe playing too much late online poker and missing the team bus... ;nemesis; Used to be a quality player in real life and on champ mange.

In that sense, if you want a chip count of a relatively unfamiliar player, then please supply a photo of some sort so we can identify him. Hi. Mad Harper here ... I am responsible for giving you guys the list. OBVIOUSLY I have had this list for hours and hours and am just refusing to hand it over. No, seriously, I am sorry for the delay but they are still reconciling all the dosh etc. I PROMISE the list will be with you as soon as poss.

With the board reading 7s Qs Ts 2d 5c his opponent, (shown here on the left of Gus) pushed all-in on the river, covering Juha, who dwelt for absolute ages and called and was immediately shown Aspades 4s for the flopped nuts. Juha mucked his hand and briskly left the table. One of the other players wanted to see the cards and a ruling was called for, Juha's hand was shown as Qd Jd, which really shocked everyone, especially Gus, who couldn't stop saying, "Wow.."

He limped in with Jd Td and, along with another player, called Mads Andersen's raise. Flop: Tc 4s 6h Nick check-called a 1.2k bet from Mads, the other player folded. Turn: 5d Nick check-called a 2.5k bet this time. River: 7s Nick checked, Mads bet 7.5k with only 4k behind. Nick reasoned that he could only be behind to a pair of eights rivering the straight, and called, correctly when Mads showed Ace King. Smiling Age Spets has doubled up, pushing on the turn of a Qs 3s Kh Jc board with Ad Ts and getting a call from Qc Td. Here he is raking in the chips.. Mr Helmuth, in a good mood for once. Barcelona winner, Bjorn Erik Glenne, chip leader at the moment with about 60k. Julian Gardner, Paul Linton and Jerome Bradpiece.

Master Masterman masterfully emulated his hero Men The Master by masterfully outmastering his masterless opponent by flopping a straight with 6-7 on an 8-9-T rainbow board. Masterman then mastered his opponent by smooth calling on the Flop and then again on the 4 Turn when his Master Mateyboy opponent moved all-in with J-rag. Blank Turn and Masterman proved his masterful mastery by raking a nice pot, subsequently rising from his chair and roaring like He-Man from Masters of the Universe. In simple terms, Ali flopped a monster and had some numpty betting into him. Owooga!

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 07:13:05 PM I recall someone asking about Richard Wild - well, here is the little (gigantic in fact) tinker now.
Assuming he's not fibbing to make himself look better on blonde, he's doing well with 19k, which is around the average. He did have 28k at one point though, but missed a flush draw, with bottom pair too, only to lose to some guy who rivered a 6 with 9-6. He also ran A-Q into A-K, but he remains positive. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 07:15:29 PM This high stakes player has prised himself away from the online world to grace us with his presence over here in Monte Carlo. If the Internet. goes slow, then he's probably out and back in his hotel room playing on Full Tilt. That shouldn't be just yet though, as he's trundling along okay at the moment with 34,775 in chips
Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 07:17:17 PM are the god like hunks gus hanson and patrick antonious still in? :kiss: any pictures would go down well,4 the ladies Hansen is a midget though, you'd never be able to wear your heels. ??? Say it ain't so!!! He doesn't look like it in pics next to tall guys like Lederer... He stands on a chair for those pics. Lederer is big in all directions, I think about 6'5, I may be wrong on Hansen, but I think he is 5'4 - 5'6. He is pocket sized :) Really!?!?!?!?!?! This surprises and dismays me. (no offense to the tiny of you out there...) Snoop, can you give a confirm or deny on this all important point? I'm sorry , but Gus would need to stand on a box to pat Tom Cruise on the head. My goodness, that is indeed not very tall ;nanana; You're saying he's standing on a chair here? No, I'm saying Howard's kneeling in that one. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 07:18:41 PM And finally, before I dip back into the never ending web of poker madness, this is your current chip leader, Barcelona EPT winner and recent Norwegian star, Bjorn Erik Glenne with 58,900.

I asked Simon 'SuffolkPunch' Young if Andy Black was still in, and he said yes, he's one of those middling stacks over there. Precise chipcounts on blonde is one of our strong points. :D Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: HornswaggleU on March 29, 2007, 07:23:18 PM are the god like hunks gus hanson and patrick antonious still in? :kiss: any pictures would go down well,4 the ladies As Snoopy said, howard is kneeling, its also a camera trick, Howard is actually 10 feet behind Hansen. Hansen is a midget though, you'd never be able to wear your heels. ??? Say it ain't so!!! He doesn't look like it in pics next to tall guys like Lederer... He stands on a chair for those pics.

He mucked on the River, but I think he was in a spot of bother, his opponent holding Tens on a 4-4-x-x-T board. On questioned why he took so long to reveal his hand, the pot winner said, "Well, he could have had Fours", which raised a giggle or two.

Could be a potential go deeper in this comp, which would be great for us onlookers as he's top entertainment, especially when supplied with alcohol.

Well, it's probably not too far from the truth, and Mr Ulliott wasn't shy in expressing that side of his character in a hand with Paul Testud.
With the table encapsulated by the media, most of whom were enthralled that their countryman, Testud, was involved in a hand with the Fish, Devilfish lapped up the attention and took the opportunity to push his character even further into the cartoony image it has thus far created. Laid back with his shades perched on the end of his nose, Dave was looking at a bet of 4k and a board of 5s 3s Jd 4s 7s. A beautiful American massuese massaging his back and shoulders, and possibly his ego, Dave sized up his opponent before making a swift call. Testud meekly revealed his paltry Kd 9d, only for Devilfish to confidently, and perhaps slightly arrogantly show his only just superior 7d 2s. Quiet in defeat, Testud listened on as Devilfish played up to the cameras, smugly making comments such as "Aah, trying to beat the Fish, huh?", "Let's Rock N Roll, baby," and "I don't need Aces here." Devilfish loves it, the cameras love it, the other players probably hate it, but that's the Devilfish, and he's sure done a lot for the game in terms in raising it's profile, so it's tough to be overly critical. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: HornswaggleU on March 29, 2007, 09:07:40 PM For those still interested in the 'how tall is Gus Hansen' debate, I just called in for back-up and Klaus at Martins Poker says Gus is probably 1 m 82 cm, which of course means nothing to me since I am an American. He'd put money on the fact that Gus would indeed NOT need to stand on a box to pat Tom Cruise on the head. The truth is out Mr Snoops! Gus is not a midget--sorry, little person-- ;sark; p.s. to my fello Yanks, I Googled 1 m 82 cm and I think it's about 5'11" Ridiculas, clealy Hansen has been greaseing the wheels, I've seen him at WSOP last year, he is a pixie.

Although he dwelled for a decent amount of time, including counting out his stack, Joe made the call and showed 5h 4h, which surprised one player who questioned why he took so long.

Mateyboy had 2s 2h Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 09:22:01 PM Hey guys! Vincent "Harry Potter" here, coming live from Amsterdam.

Michael Knight was right 'one man can make a difference' My pointing out that Hansen is pixie sized has resulted in him getting a photo taken, which I might add, does not show his height relitive to anything other than a piece of paper with a random height written on it. I'm not concvinced, I've seen the guy, he is pixie sized.

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Djinn on March 29, 2007, 09:43:09 PM is Azad's lack of presence on the chip count list down to the fact he's out or not? He just went out this minute - champion lazy person BA Kildalen called him when I asked if he was still in the tournament - saying, "He was short stacked and saw a flop of 6-7-Q which suited his 8-0 pretty much good, bet 500, raise to 1,500, all-in (+100 chips), his opponent held 6-7 and the turn and river were 2-6."

He had a good start, up to 34k at one point, but knocked back to under the starting stack and he picked up Kings. He raised in mid-position, gathering three callers. THe flop came down 2-4-8, he bet 2k, one caller clung on. Turn 9. He bet 5k, and called when he was raised all in for about the same again. Resignedly looking at his opponent's 9-9, he missed his two outs and was in a hurry to get out the revolving door when I caught him in the break. And not because revolving doors are just the most enjoyable form of exit.

The time the Ace on the flop hurts most is probably when you've got it in with Kings, and she's now in worse-than average shape.

Ash Hussain was apparently on the table next door, but I got distracted by some shouty hand-waving on the top tier and missed him that time... Thanks jenx Also, some Ash Hussain news now, which also encapsulates the highly feared Bengt Sonnert. Board = Jd 5d Kh Th 8h and Ash has bet 6k, which is most of his stack. Bengt rises from his seat (as all the stars seem to do), puts his hands on the back of his head and suggests trips as a possibility before making a reluctant call. Ash, clearly chuffed to bits, proudly reveals his Qh 9h whilst Bengt quickly mucks, mumbling something Aces and mentioning, "Rivered," to which Ash responds by highlighting that he hit the straight on the Turn. "Make sure you put that one up, snoop," requests Ash. "I prefer just to put the ones you play badly on though, it's more fun," I reply. I've been generous this time though...

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 29, 2007, 11:07:45 PM BREAKING NEWS
According to Dusk Till Dawner and former Eastender, the latter being more crucial in this particular post, everyone on the Albert Square cast wanted that duff duff duff at the end, and prayed for the explosive ending However, and he said this rather bitterly, Tiffany, Grant Mitchell and then Kat Slater (he really didn't seem too keen on her) seemed to hog all the duff duff limelight. "I got it a few times," added Beppe, "but not particularly often." Meanwhile, neighbour Mel Judah just won a small pot, taking the hand away from one of many ElkY lookalikes (they seem to be running rampant these days) by betting a Th-6c-6h-2s board from the button after smooth calling the flop. Whilst Judah is still having trouble with just 13,925, Beppe is fairing slightly better with his 16 stack, adding that it's the first time he's been over the starting stack. "This is the way it normally goes with me, start off slow and end with a bang," which is how we got into Eastenders, me comparing his progress in comps to an episode of the show. I even got him to perform the duff duff (of his own free will might I add), which I was immensely proud of.

Big and foreboding, Phil shadows his table and truly towers above his opponents, as is clearly evident in the picture below. Like a caped crusader, the Poker Brat leans across the felt as if he owns it and possesses a real presence that he uses to intimidate his opponents. When Phil's at the table, you know about it, even if he doesn't say a word, which can occur in longer spells that you might initially assume.

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Djinn on March 29, 2007, 11:31:44 PM Any news on Badgirl - has her table broken and how are her chips? She has 20k, and has described her table as 'crazy' and 'sick', I think she's referring mostly to uber-maniac Dane Frederik Holstrup, who I can vouch for, plays like a madman. Fredrik has been getting involved with US player Casey Kastle in some pretty dramatic pots recently. Both pictured here (Casey on Bad Girl's left, Fredrik in the DUFFER hoodie), the first one went to Kastle - Fredrik apparently bet all the way (flop, turn and chunky river) until the board was 5-5-Q-7-4. I would hazard a guess that the fives arrived on the turn and river...anyway, Kastle eventually called with 9-7 and his pair was good against the crazy Dane's A-K. Julian was standing nearby and related this hand, and was so surprised by the American's calls that he would have fallen off his chair, if he'd been sitting on one. "I thought he was super tight," he mused... Then a couple of hands later, and Bad Girl limped on the small blind, Casey raised from the big blind, and Hostrup called. The flop came Aspades 7s 6s (OK I made the rank of the ones that aren't spades up, but that's strictly irrelevant). Casey must have bet, but the raise was an insta-all-in from Fredrik - 25k+. A full dwell (nearing the five minute point) before Casey passed (Bad Girl said an Ace) and Fredrik Hostrup showed: Kh 2s.

Jen is on her way now. Yes, they're still tablemates, facing each other from the opposite ends of the table... got there just in time to see a very odd hand give Jim Kerrigan a bit of a present: Jim raised preflop and must have been re-raised from the big blind (that's the only way I imagine there was around 10k in there by the time the flop strangeness happened). So, heads up they see Tc 2c 5s. Big blind checks, Jim bets 3,500 and the big blind min-check-raises (Jerome standing behind me on the rail - out, details forthcoming - said, "I hate that.") Jim wasn't loving it either, clearly, and slowly counted out his remaining 9,5k or so before deliberately pushing them over the betting line in a resigned sort of way. There was a remarkably quick call, considering what was about to be shown down: Jim showed: Jc Jh Big Blind showed: Ac Jd Turn and river: 2d Js And a double up which made Praz almost lose the plot, "There's Jim thinking he's against a set and the guy shows A-J. I've been grinding all day - it's hard work, and this happens to him." Pause. "Well done, Jim," said in a tone so flat you could measure door frames with it.

"Boo!," he said, eloquently, "I lost a race." He'd been short for a while and in one of those spots where aggressive people were always making the raises in front of him, doing things like passing Deuces to a raise on the button which would have given him a house, a double up and a playable stack. Frustrating, perhaps...anyway he found Sevens and the button raised, as they so often do, with a caller from a big stack. Jerome went for it - and he got the first guy racing him with A-Q. It hit (or this story would have started with Jerome saying, "Yeah!") and he's in that recently-eliminated down zone before he realises he's in Monte Carlo and can just go to the beach.

It's funny you should mention his name, because he's just been involved, in probably the most fascinating pot I'm likely to see in this tournament, trust me... Patrick Antonius makes it 1k from the button. Adam makes it 3.2k from the small blind and Antonius makes it 9k. Adam calls. Flop: Qc 2s 4c Adam checks, Patrick moves in for 34.5k. The break has just happened, but a crowd is developing around the table as only the two players remain seated. Adam keeps staring intently at Patrick, checking his chips, it'll cost most of his stack to call. Patrick sits impassively. Finally, eyes still focused on Patrick, Adam pushes the 34.5k into the pot, and Patrick visibly loses the colour out of his face as he flips over 3c 5s. Adam turns over first the Ac, then....the Jh! Everyone including Patrick manages a double take. I hear people shocked, yet still somehow impressed at the call. Turn: 8s River: Aspades A 90k pot goes to Vegas based Scandie, there's not even a collective groan or sigh from the audience, people are still transfixed at the action. Adam briefly, yet without a shred of regret in his voice explains, "His range for 3-betting preflop is so wide...When I called the 6k extra I was trapping." He seems remarkably composed for someone who has just lost such a big pot, "I don't care, I've played 10k comps before, his move in was a scared bet, I'd have probably called with King high." And although that may sound arrogant to people, I could completely believe him.

You might be interested to know that Jen and Snoopy will be covering the WPT at the Bellagio at the end of April, so might need some help with the photos. ;) The hand turned out to be Adam's swansong, he pushed with 7-8 and got called by A-T, an Ace on the flop and no help thereafter. Here is Shaniac (Shane Schleger), who if memory serves me correctly, is a regular on the 2+2 forums, he has Isabelle Mercier and Keith 'The Camel' Hawkins to his immediate left and has 29,350. Ray is proving hard to find, but please bear with us.

My head's a bit mangled and overloaded with poker, so I apologise if this is slightly off, but the gist is that Praz got his chips in with 9-6 on a K-9-4-x (2 spades) board was beaten by Ace high which I believe hit a flush on the River.

Julian Gardner (50k) and Jeff Rogers (44,650) have been rather overlooked in the general craziness of this start day - not to say that they haven't been involved in some big pots, perhaps even dramatic ones, but they're both looking like finishing the day with comfortable stacks and minimal fuss. The cameras might be round Hellmuth getting a massage, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Julian (pictured) going to day 25 or whatever counts as 'deep' here.

Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Djinn on March 30, 2007, 02:28:12 AM Last minute double up for John Gale -
An early-mid raiser to something like 1,500 found one caller and a button push for 6,575 from the bracelet-winning, easy-going player. Desperate? It's not his style, it looks like, to lose the will to survive short just because they've announced Last Five Hands (which they have) - he was probably happy that the early raiser re-raised to isolate him with his Jh Js, as John had Qd Qh. The board came: Ks 7c 9h Kd Qs which was overkill, but he looked happy to have doubled through to around what he started the day with, over 12 hours ago...

Usually there's one announcement per hour along the lines of, "Will everyone milling around between the tournament tables please leave the area?" which we get to ignore and carry on writing our little notes. This time they meant business. "And the press," came over the loudspeaker as I continued to stroll around the pleasingly spacious walkways pretty much on my own. What I'm trying to say is, you'll probably have to wait until they get the final counts to us, which is more like tomorrow than tonight.

(1) Michael Greco -- 15,275 (2) Richard Ashby -- 15,000 (3) Michaela Johansson -- 13,025 (4) Frederik Ostervold -- 11,000 (5) Michael Murphy -- 8,550 Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 30, 2007, 02:51:30 AM Straight from the horse's mouth (I am by no means calling him a horse), Danish player and Warsaw EPT finalist Frederik Holstrup Pedersen has also climbed into the top ten with around 70k.

According to Mad, our media representative from PokerStars, player listing will be available tomorrow ;pokergods;, which should make tracking players a lot easy. However, if you get in your requests for names to follow early doors (on tomorrow's thread rather than this one), then that would awesome. Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 30, 2007, 03:02:07 AM The official chip counts should be with us early morning (probably around 6am), so we'll upload those counts prior to the commencement of the Day 2 live coverage.
Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 30, 2007, 03:04:43 AM Ok, it's passing out time, (Djinn is collapsing next to me as I type). We're off to regain our strength returning for level 8 with blinds 300/600/75, the early hours of Day 2 of EPT's have traditionally been scenes of bloody carnage, but with the extra 5k on the starting stack, plus 90 minute blinds, I think it'll be around level 11 when the blinds go 800/1600/200 which will be the tipping point. (i.e when we get people knocked out at literally one every minute).
Time for bed, we'll be back to restart at 2pm (1pm GMT). ;stickaforkinme; Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: Gobbomom on March 30, 2007, 03:06:08 AM no problem, ya'll are "official" on 2+2 now. Truly, a job well done.

Thank you very much Mrs Gobbomom (I still can't believe I'm calling someone that, lol), your support has been much appreciated. Finally, word on the grapevine is that Day 2 will come with a player list, which will mean we will be able to identify any names that you American readers wish to throw our way. Remember, this is an interactive thread, so feel free to interrupt us with requests for players, whatever nationality, and we'll do out very best. :respect: Title: Re: EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive Post by: snoopy1239 on March 30, 2007, 03:31:39 AM Time for beddie byes.
