Hi gang.  :hello:

The second day is always tough to update. Once you whittle down to 60 or so on Day 1A, then go back up to 150 on Day 1B, you tend to feel like you're going backwards. However, once it gets going, and you see all the new faces, everything soon feels fresh again. I'm very much looking forward to another exciting day, it's going to be nigh on impossible to top yesterday, but I reckon we're going to come close.

Plenty of familiar faces to keep a track of. As soon as they start piling in, I'll jot down a few names. Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure I recall seeing Andy Black, Greg Raymer, and Erik Seidel on the list. The latter is possibly, in my opinion, one of the most underrated players around, a quiet assassin of sorts. I hope he goes far as I think it'll be interesting to see how he plays.

If things go quiet for a moment, it'll be because we've popped out for a quick bite. The service is pretty slow, but we'll get back on asap.

Watch this space guys. Should be a good en.

what big big names r in today?ivey raymer,ferg negranau,me lol

Good luck to Micky Wernick and my mentor Paul Maxfield in todays main event.
Expect good things from both of these . Good to see Paul come out from hibernation

New game to run in parallel

If unfortuantely it happens....(of course it won't, premium cards and patience today, but just in case....)


guess the hand that the rookie exits on.......


My guess

 8c 3c

over to you

We are about to start. I have spotted lots of names but they are not seated yet so hard to check out the 'action' tables.

I have seen 2 EPT winners on the same table, Mark Teltcher and Noah Boken.

Anyway of for some snaps, some names, and the first exit!

Seidel underated???? by who. Absolutely one of the games greatest tourny players and winner of 7 bracelets (i think)

14 minutes    Scandie

any way i can make the pages refresh auto so i dont have to keep pressin the button?

BREAKING NEWS

After hearing of Jen's performance last night, today's players have decided not to bother turning up.

I was seconds away from stripping off and charging into the sea in my speedos, but, with my physique, I didn't want to put the other guys to shame. I couldn't have Jonathan and Flushy feeling physically inadequate.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Kevin O'Connel looks to be in good spirits.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Steve Vladar, i didnt notice anyone on his table so hopefuly he should be able to slowly plod along.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Prob win the blinds every hand I reckon.....

Tony Cascarino loses several hundred in an early pot.

Board = 5-K-4-7-8

Opponent shows 7-8

Cascarino smirks, shakes his head, and mucks.

1 pair perhaps?

almost, just add some naughts.

John Gale and Patrick Antonius. It's hard to get a picture of Patrick looking natural, evreytime he see's a lens pointed his way he starts posing!

EVEN BREAKIER BREAKING NEWS

Brian Wilson has won a pot with a BIG HAND.

With 2.4k in the pot, the board looked like this:

2h Jd Jh Tc 7h

Brian bets 1600.

Mateyboy calls, but tuts when he spots Brian's Ahrt 3h

What table is mateyboy on?

i mad a bit of a mistake.

I have been posting some pics on the Day 1A thread!!!

Now to repost them here! lol

what a line up for today.  Looking forward to another great read :)

GL everyone :)

He seems to be spreading his wings today and mulit-tabling.

These 4 are all on the same table...

Les 'Blue Square' Kerrigan next to Martin Green.

Then on the opposite side of the table, the legend with Bengt Sonnet, i stumbled across these two 5 minutes after the start and the table talk had begun!

[attachment deleted by admin]

Pascal Perrault, will be pushing this year to take the european player of the year no doubt.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Mateyboys been quiet so far today for a multi tabler

Table buddies, Barney Boatman, Rob Hollink the defending champ and John Kabbaj!

[attachment deleted by admin]

Ace2M and Brian Wilson! Watch out for the 74 battles.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Good morning, are there any sng's being played yet?

Picture of Woody Deck for his many fans please...


p.s be quick, just in case

i really suprised at the turnout for this,i was expecting everyone to be there,,,chan,ivey,jon juanda,negranau,even dave ulliot,any reason for these guys not there?????

Good Luck all playing today.

Flushy can you have a quick look at Pascal's wrist for me please, see if he is still wearing his band.  :D
He did promise he would never take it off.....lol pic would be great also.

Ang x x

There was a big event in the US that just finished. US Headsup championship, throw in that they have a $10,000 event almost every week and the idea of travelling all the way to MC becomes less attractive.

LOL ok

No sit n gos yet. Give it an hour or so and they'll probably get going.

thnx m8 i just thought after the last one in monte carlo where ivey dominated ,,,,mind you just thought hes,  quit while hes a head. lol thnq anyways

Matyeboy cubed news now.

Board = Kd 8s 6h 7c Qs

MB#1 checks.

MB#2 bets 300.

MB#3 raises to 1k.

MB#1 folds.

MB#2 raises to 2.2k.

MB#3 moves all-in.

MB#2 calls.

Can u guess the hands? Tough one this.

MB#2 = 9d Td

MB#3 = 9s Ts

The amatuer dramatics made me laugh.  :D

I think the whole table knew they both had the nuts before they pushed all-in, but both still oohed and aahed before moving their chips. hehe

Surely MB#3 Wins for having four to the flush as well?!?!

because it's a European event I guess.

They already have massive tourneys over there, no real need to travel over this way.

Fancy a game heads up?

That was a 25k buy-in and garnered more publicity.

However, I believe this event has a bigger prize pool.

Well spotted.

I passed on your observation to Big TK and he has now reversed the decision and awarded the pot to MB#3.

i just thik raymer hatchem siedel,,all poker stars sponsored players,maybee full tilt wasnt invited????,,,and yes this is a bigger prize pool,never mind m8 i was just suprised thnq

Brian Wilson is down to the felt.

All-in preflop with pocket queens.

Unfortunatley, he ran into bullets.

'Let me get lucky just this once,' he begged the poker gods.

Unfortunately, they didn't reply.

Qc Qd v Ad Ac

6c 2h Kc Ahrt 3c

Immediately after, he stormed out of the room and has yet to return.

He's down to 1,450 and looks pretty pissed off.

Julian Gardner is OUT

45 minutes and English.

Tale of 2 Julians really!

I don't know what happened and he didnt look like he wanted to tell me!

O....is four spades no good?

THATS WERE IVE BEEN GOING WRONG

 :blonde:

Martin Cavanagh just lost a big pot to Ben Grundy.

There were a few limpers and Martin made it 350 with  Ahrt Kc

2 players called one of which was Ben Grundy.

The flop came  Ad 9d 5c

Ben and mateyboy checked, Martin bet 1250 Ben called Mateyboy passed.

Turn   Aspades

Ben checks, Martin bets 1750, Ben calls.

River  3s

Ben now fires out 3000, Martin Calls.

Ben shows  2d 4d for the wheel!

I KNOW    LOLOL

actually i read it wrong and didnt notice the 'four to the' bit...assumed you had misread the cards.

LOL    Sowwy

I hear this lad might have a few followers today... Arshad Hussain (Blondeite Mad M3)

He's flying, currently sitting on a 17k stack.

Joe Hachem has clearly been taking tips off Thewy on yoyoing.

After losing a few early pots, he moved all-in with Q-9 on a Q-9-rag flop.

He found a call in Mateyboy's pocket jacks.

The two pair held up and Joe is back up to 7.5k.

LOL!!  Goooooo Ben!!!!

Lord Wernick is up to 14.5k.

'How did you get them?' I asked.

'nibble, nibble, nibble, nibble,' replied the veteran.

 :dontask:

Highway to the dangerzone

Lets hope he soon takes a BIG BITE. :D

We're into the first minute break with 149 players remaining.

I'll grab some chip counts when they return.

Has the ROOKIE returned yet?

Just to prove that Mike 'LuckyBlind' of Antes-Up has finally arrived, here's a paparazzi shot of the Irishman.

Alarm failure my arse...  ;tk;



[attachment deleted by admin]

How´s the swedes doing?

'The Rookie' has climbed back up to 2.7k after 'getting lucky'.

any1 in particular?

I know Patric Martensson and his mates are here.

WOuld you like me to keep an eye out for them?

 :hello:

I hope in the Ace2M piccy, it's just his hand that is obscuring his chips rather than them being depleted!!  ;pokergods;

any1 in particular?

I know Patric Martensson and his mates are here.

WOuld you like me to keep an eye out for them?
[/quote]

How about Bo Sehlstedt, Mats Iremark and maybe Ingemar Backman..
Would be nice

Blondeite Mad M3 -- 17.5k

Most of that 7.5k came from a Q-J holding where he flopped top pair, then turned a jack. His opponent called a river bet, but mucked his cards.

How about Bo Sehlstedt, Mats Iremark and maybe Ingemar Backman..
Would be nice
[/quote]

Is Ingemar the fellow who wears the funny hat?

 :hello:

Get this for an easy table.....

Seat 1 - Rob Hollink
Seat 2 - Mats Iremark
Seat 5 - John Kabbaj
Seat 7 - Barney Boatman
Seat 8 - Carlos Mortenson




Valooooooo

Thats right Snoop

Great stuff guys- Flushie your doing a great job m8 (whisper-norkage?) :D

Has yesterdays chip leader surfaced yet? 8) 8) Give her a big sloppy well done from me when she does :-* :-* *g

I caught up with Julian Gardner before the break, he lost most of his chips on hand 1!!!
Mateyboy#6271 raised and he re-raised with  Qc Qd, Mateyboy#6271 called.

Flop came  5d 7c 9s

Mateyboy#6271 leads out, Julian calls.

Turn  5c

Mateyboy#6271 bets again, Julian calls.

River  7d

Mateyboy#6271 fires the third bullet, Julian calls.

Mateyboy#6271 held  6d 8c for a flopped straight!


Julian then found himself on 4k when he held  Ad Jc on a  5d 5s 2d 7d board, Mateyboy#837 bet 1000, Julian moved in, Mateyboy#837 made the call with  Jd 9d and Julian missed his 7 outter.


He seems to not be to bothered though, its the first time i have met him and he seems like a top bloke......even if he is from Manchester.

they're at the end of the thread, Matt.

Plus, what's a a sloppy well done? Is that something to do with me?

haha cheers, see how it feels spoony?

As for Norkage....only if you are all well behaved.

Jen is nowhere to be seen, we did tell her she is not allowed in the pressroom, and at no point is she to take chip counts.

Some early chippy counts:

Carlos Mortensen -- 1.7k
Mats Iremark -- 12.4k
Brian Wilson -- 2.050
Ace2M -- 11.2k
Steve Vladar -- 8.5k
Mafews -- 9.8k
Nenobear (real name please?) -- 10.5k
Paul Maxfield -- 7.5k
Sealey -- 5.025k
Tony Bloom (late) -- 10k
Martin Green -- 15k
Ken Lennard -- 8.1k

Barny just won a pot with a 2.5k river bet on a 7s 6d 5d Js Ks board.

Opponent dwelt for aaaaaaaaaages.

 :blonde: :blonde: :blonde: :blonde: :blonde:

Hows me old mate woody doing? :D :D

Micky Wernick is similarly running well.

He just reraised scandieboy's 1.2k bet to 3k on a board of Qh 3h Qd 6d.

scandieboy passed

Jeff Burke aka nenobear, chopped a midlands main event in 2004 with action jack.

Tony Bloom was a late arrival....

[attachment deleted by admin]

 ;yellowcard;  oi !!!

No you numpty, yesterday's thread.  :D

Also i finally found, just for i know it, Paul Maxfield.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Was on 5k when i last saw him, go back a few pages and you will see how is AK got cracked by 24 despite hitting AAA

Mateyboy is any player who we don't know the name of.

Sometimes sonny jim is used for another unknown in the same hand.

If we're feeling really dangerous, we use the term scandieboy.

Unfortunately, we haven't been supplied with the player lists yet.

thnx snoop i feel stupid now lol hope yall having a great time thnx for updates and wish jen gl for tom id love her to get it ,would be great for poker

Nice one mate. All your updates are coming quick and fast, it's hard to keep up!  ;D :)up

How much time left on this level?

We are about 20 mins into level 2, so about 70 minutes!

Brian says that he has calmed down and is ready to grind.....he said that just before we started....

Martyn Kavanagh -- 7.5k

Jen has arrived!! Say hello all!

More chippy counts:

Theo Jorgenssen -- 11.5k
Ingemar Backman -- 16k

23spades, I'm surprised that you haven't gone over just for the cash games. I've heard what you are like in the ring games!

Hi Jen, very well done, bring it home girl

Greg Raymer -- 9.5k

Greg raised to 300 preflop and received one caller.

Guess who it was! Yep, Mateyboy again.

Flop = Jh 4c 9s

Greg bet 500, Mateyboy calls.

Turn = 3d

Mateyboy comes out betting, 650.

Greg makes it 2.1k.

Mateyboy moves all-in.

Greg reluctantly folds, although my spider senses informs me that he was being a bit of a bully.

 :hello: Jen, how do you feel? :cheers: :cheers: :hello:

Spoony... your doing a great job too... just in case you felt left out :kiss:

Have Jon's chips arrived yet?

P.S Wish A2M  ;goodluck; He's owed some good cards.

Jen since you did so well yesterday any chance of helping the ROOKIE out. Sounds as if he needs help. Come on ROOKIE get back in this thing!!!!!

Carlos Mortenson OUT

John Kabbaj raised, shortstacked Carlos moved all in, Rob Hollink then flat called behind!!

John passes.

Carlos shows  Jc Jh
Rob  Th Td

The  Tc on the board was enough to dispatch Carlos to the rail

 :hello:  Jen  ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;applause; ;applause; ;goodluck;

10k in the pot on the flop when we join the hand.

The flop is 2h Th Ad

Mateyboy #762 raised 6.5k all in

Joe called and showed  Ac Kc

Mateyboy #762 Showed  2c 2d

The turn brought some excitement with the  Ks

The river however upset nothing and the trip 2's heldup!

Jen obviously did not want you to take her piccy boys .. she is standing all defensive with her arms crossed...

leave her be ..let her relax and get a meal...x

is there any need?sheep smiley,maybee they could do a ...>>>ill let you guess what type of smiley would suit you as i wont lower myself to your standard,but as you guess think of something really really rude,and im sure that would suit you now p off,this forum is for people who are intrested in the game of poker and these guys im sure dont wanna read your chit srry guys i hate people trying to take the p155 when they dont even know you...

Hi everybody (what a crowd blonde has at the moment) - I only have a minute as Snoops is literally breathing down my neck (and it's not a terribly pleasant sensation) to say THANKS for all nice stuff you had to say, and the support for not just me, but all the blondeites.  You can almost imagine ghostly railers watching - like Ben whom I know now is taking the day off work to hang around on the forum...shocking.

Anyway after the great fun I had on the Unusual Suspects, it is just a bit of cake-icing to have a bunch of chips at the end of Day One.  I hope to play well tomorrow, or at least in a manner to entertain the Press (who were a bit snooty about letting me back in the blonde team, hmmf).

I will be railing along with my Mum who most definately qualifies for PRO membership as she was three feet away from me all day and all night yesterday, and watched every hand.  :)

Oh, and Dana, no more hideous photographs of me.  The consequences will be dire.

And tikay, I know you're feeling a bit low, but we would all be happy to see you out here, or in a cardroom near you soon...  ;tk;

Here are some chip counts for ya

lol lol lol lol maybee you shoulda got him to order your lunch yesterday lol

Can we have some piccys of noopsy and flushy 'in action' please?

would seem a strange call (for a world champion) in my VERY humble opinion with just TPTK - what is he beating exactly ? Is mateyboy going to be putting all his chips on the line to get out kickered ?


hmmm

 rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

Bah. It's ok, I'm going out anyway. I'll do it tomorrow when you're not looking

But mateyboy has been multi-tabling so it's hard to know if he's concentrating fully.

Message Brian Wilson to his uncle...

Yep, sounds like Brian all right.

The prizepool is complete now, 298 runners, so €2,980,000 in the pot.

First is a tasty €900,000!!!

Clearly thats not enough for some players....

I dont know his last name but his first name is Arthur, he is a friend of Snoopy's apparently....

And here is out chip leader!

Arthur.

We're into another break. This is the current state of affairs. Soooooooo much easier than writing it all down.

 :redcard:

straight red, no yellows

Looks like the TV table is now being filled. Will get the lineup as soon as i can.

is that one of snoops slippers lol,

 rotflmfao ;tightend; ;slavedriver;

It looks like the feature table is ready for the off.

There's a screen in the press room which shows the acton from the tv table. Is there any chance that all your chip count requests can come from this table??





[attachment deleted by admin]

Joe possibly put him on an Ace with a flush draw - his all-in makes sense with this holding. Joe would then be a slight favourite.

He also getting nearly 2.5/1 pot odds - I think it's an ok call.

Look Raab! No fries...

You weren't the only one.

At least you got a plate.

Great updates, although im slightly concerned at the lack of norkage shots ;)

ash is a sound bloke, made the final in st maarten last year and also the final in last years barcelona ept

Hey guys - quality updates as ever.

Any chance of a chip count/pics of Rory Mathews and Colin Gerard?

Cheers in advance!

Snoopy
Just so you know, that was not me yesterday talking to you about Ian Girwood, it was Scottish Dave who hopped on the computer at the Cincinnati Club when I was logged in.

I got your pm this morning and I had no idea what was going on. :D

If you still want the rub though ask Dave, I am sure he would oblige :D

Great job on the threads guys, it is fantastic stuff

Jen I never met you but feel like I know you. Congrats so far, all the best.

4 familiar faces in a row, Krypton Factor stylee.

Rory Mafews -- 11.5k
Jeff Burke -- 10.5k
Ace2M -- 18k
Brian Wilson -- 2.1k



[attachment deleted by admin]

OK, so I guess when youve got 7 mill you can afford to gamble your tournament life on what is best a coin flip.

I'm sure Sklansky would agree :)

Do you have a picture of Colin Gerard?

He's so right as per usual

tell brian i am very impressed that he is grinding away as a shortstack!

Keep it going... pass it on quick before he finds 74!

Just catching up with this for the first time today.

The lack of big name Americans is probably to do with the WSOP Circuit Event in Rincon.  I guess the Poker Stars featured players (Raymer, Hachem and Co) are in Monte Carlo at the behest of Stars, but most others will have likely played the WSOP event.

Sheriff

Incredibly, the Rookie has been grinding like he's never ground before.

Well, he's never actually ground at all. This is his first time.

Lurking in the background, however, is his mentour, Julian Thew.

It seems to be working as Brian's patience has been rewarded.

A-A v K-J

The scariest of scary flops came down.

Q-K-T

eeeeeeeek  :o

Turn = 5

River = 6

Phew

how much was in the pot

Ha ha, you're right. So wrapped up was I in odds and cards, I completely missed the fact that Hachem was calling off all his chips.

Nevertheless, there was 10K in the pot, therefore Joe must have put nearly 5K of his 11.5K in with AK. Given he's already put half his stack in, he'd have done that knowing he wasn't going to fold if he flops TPTK. I stick by my original post - I'm not folding in this situation.

PokerGirl (Morten Erlandsen) bets 1k on a 4s 5d 6s flop.

MB reraises to 3k.

Sverre sighs heavily before folding from the small blind.

PokerGirl mucks a lot quicker.

Tommys (A2M) style from what i've seen on Stars (wreckless out of position super aggressive  :D) seems to be working well  ;goodvevil;

 :)up :)up :respect: :respect: :)up :)up

According to Ben Grundy, he's moved from a fish aquariam with lots of calling stations to a shark tank full of agressive tricky to play Scandieboys.

Afraid not snoopy, just checked a couple of poker sites and googled for him but to no avail.

He is about 45, baldish (though he is almost certain to be wearing a cap), relatively small chap (add your own punchline here), wears specs, always has an i-Pod nano on the go and will most probably have his usual beige satchel over the back of his seat.

The one thing that might give him away is that he won his seat through William Hill so may be wearing some branded gear.

Don't worry if you can't spot him, I appreciate that you guys are busy and are doing a great job.

Can you tell who it is yet? Colin Gerrard is to his left Snoops.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Snoops

Got it wrong - The Bar is not media just practice for tomorrow's Battleship tourney

Cant be arsed to come and find you - this is much easier

Any chip count for the rookie aka "Cookie Da Bookie"?

Ross Boatman is up to 26k.

Q-Q v K-K

Queen on the flop.

Alan Betson -- 4.7k (I take it he's not part of the Betson girls clan  :dontask:)

Tony Cascarino (in the air) -- 3.6k

Martyn 'Daffyd Thomas' Kavanagh -- 8k

I'm water boy for the first time in a while.

Some fella clicked his fingers and asked me to get him a drink.

Kevin O'Connell gets involved in a pot with Mark Teltscher.



[attachment deleted by admin]

What no newspaper!!!

Mark Teltscher after that pot with Kevin O'Connell. Guess who won it?



[attachment deleted by admin]

Wow I didn't think you would go there! But if it helps the ROOKIE we can always bring up things about Cookie  :dd:     :ironside:

Hehe, it wasn't Teltscher was it?

hows conor and bengt doing?

Mickey is now up to over 20k, after taking out Betfair's golden boy Bengt Sonnert. 

Blue Square 1
Betfair 0

(sorry couldn't resist)

lol jono :D :D

After seeing his photo just, yes it was!!!

 ;tk;

what name does bengt play under on betfair?

well theres the answer to one of them lol what about conor then lol

Rookie is back up to 9k.

Never boring with Brian.

Ac Ahrt v Kc Kh

Ts 4h Qc 3s 8h

2nd time he's doubled up with aces tonight.

can never miss Brian's hands as you can hear him shouting from across the other side of the room.

PKRBT

Mad M3 -- 11k
Surinder Sunar -- 21.5k
Patrick Antonius -- 8.6k
Ingemar Backman -- 22k

thx junior

Here's our Bri. I think those are his notes from the latest Snoopy System poker book. A great read, give it a shot.



[attachment deleted by admin]

This is one of the chipleaders with 28.2k.

Incredibly, his name is Mateyboy!



[attachment deleted by admin]

David and Goliath.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Afternoon all , just got in about to start the thread from scratch , be back in a mo :)

Thats him Snoops - can't quite make out his stack from that pic unfortunately.

A chip count and a full frontal for his fans up here in the North East would be great - cheers.

Colin Gerrard had 10,200, but has just won a decent pot against Martin Green and mateyboy.

Missed the action but was there to see Colin scoop up a nice pot holding  Td 9d versus Martin's  Th 7c

on a  Tc Ts 2d 6s 5s board

He is now up to 18k.

Hows Paul Maxfield doing? THX

What is the time on this level?

Bizarrely, the feature table doesn't have many big name in there. We have Edgar Skjervold who was runner up in Copenhagen and Theo Jorgenssen who finalled in Deauville, but no superstars. Then we move round the table and... hey presto! Totty.

25 minutes left

Conor Tate -- 3.250k
Martyn Kavanagh -- 7.2k

Mateyboy squared.

MB#1 moves all-in on a board of 3s 5h 6h 2h

MB#2 calls.

Ts Ahrt versus Kh 8h

2d on the river, and MB#1 takes down the pot.

Who's punting for Mateyboy to win this comp??

Mickey had A6 on a A45 flop when he took out Bengt. Mickey raised Bengt's 500 bet another 2k, Bengt called. Turn paired the board with another 4. The River was a 6, after which Mickey set Bengt all in. Bengt called and was eliminated, but never showed his hand.

I believe this may be Blondeite 'notgus' trying to levitate his chips. Any1 have his real name?

Anyhow, he reraised Ross's button raise. Ross folded, meaning notgus grinds up to 9.5k.





[attachment deleted by admin]

Are there many sit n gos going on there?

yep, no cash games tho

Great updating from Snoops, Flushie, and the chip starved Jonathan

I'm glued to my seat (Makes a change from the yak)

don't know who it is snoopy but its not "not gus"

Great updates guys.

Any word on Paul Maxfield please?

Send him my best - many thanks.

Cheers for the update on Colin, AlrightJack.

Interesting story about the final table of his online qualifier for this event...

5 left with 4 seats on offer, Colin is short stack with something like 10k left and blinds at 3k - 6k. He is UTG and passes. Next guy pushes all in with AQ for something like 65000 only to be called by the BB who has KK (the call uses up a large proportion of his stack apparently).

KK stands up and the other guy is out, gifting Colin and his short stack a seat! My question is, geven the senario, would anyone else have just passed the KK in the BB and waited for the blinds to pass through (and most likely kill) Colin?

Corrr that took me ages..

OK caught up now.


I have a request please gentlemen.

Please please please please please  pretty pretty prettty pretty pretty please with a cherry on top

Could we have another pic of Patrick "Phwoarrrrrrrrrrrrrr" Antonius??

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Bit loose/aggressive by Surndar

Brian 'the grinder' Wilson

That's the funniest thing I've ever read.

i give him an hour or so before the grinder does something stupid.

Perhaps Matey-boys river bet was a little pointless.

Din din break.

I've waited 25 mins for a single burger, which costs 20 Euros incidentally. Still no sign of it.

The service here is shocking.

I am not seeing the pics...anyone know why?

I saw them on yesterdays threads but not todays....and I am signed in...?????

U need to send someone out on a McDonalds run

Bring a packed lunch next time ;)

Be sure to take a photo of your burger, let the people decide if it looks like it's worth the price tag.

Bad raise, bad call methinks

If I ever pay 20 Euros for a burger, I'd expect it to take a long time to arrive.

Selecting which cow to slaughter and having the pope bless the lettuce for you must take a whiley.

I aim to please...

Him?

[attachment deleted by admin]

Lettuce...u have to pay extra for that. Beef burger pretty much means just the burger in a bun here...

There was something about being logged on to .net and .com yesterday, those logged on to .net could not see pictures, .com could

Surely you would rather him....

[attachment deleted by admin]

20 Euro?

Do you get to keep the gold plate it comes on?

That's cheating Flushy we've already had that one - I did request "another" honest injun I did.

PLEASEEEEEE

and PHWOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR again

Funny stroy, Jon paid €20 for his yesterday and didnt even get his chips.

I got burger and chips, and paid €0 stupid french bar staff forgot to charge me.

Can you take some pictures to Jim Kerrigan ?

I want to show it to my friends . Thx a lot dudes

LMFAO

No offence sonpoy   but         


NO!

Yep, with shortie on BB next hand, surely the play is for everyone to pass this hand, then UTG min-raise next hand, and everyone call, then check it down. Of course, they'd all have to independently realise this was the correct play, without anyone actually saying as much...

you probaly blew a kiss at him ,hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Damn.

I would but for 2 reasons i can't.

Firstly, he is downstairs in the cardroom and i am up here in the pressroom, i really am getting tired of those stairs and i fear if i go down them again i might not make it back up....

Secondly, its the dinner break so i have bugger all idea where he is. Probably eating a bit of lettuce or something.

Dewi is the man...who's seeing pics?

I AM SEEING PICS

now back to page 1

First thing on my list after the dinner break.

What is all this Mickey "The Legend" Wernick?

He is the worm. Always has been. Always will be. End of story.

I'll scweam and scweam and scweam and scweam...

But I will be kind and hold off on the scweaming until after the dinner break and until he is sat back at the table.

But you deffo don't get the cherry on top now!

brad, its the rookie, just doubled again to almost 16k, just grinding away, thats funny

Thats right Keith.

its true, logged in under julian, i have doubled w/ aa, aa, qq, now upto 16 k or so, what fun to be a grinder

Can somebody translate the poll for me please?

ok have finally caught up :)

Excellent updates

Thanks :)

Lay off the beer boys.

Lets hope this new conservative attitude doesn't effect the nights out eh?

Mickey doesn't particularly like the worm. Somebody started calling him the legend last year, which he is, so its stuck. Feel free to carry on calling him the worm though, there's no law against having two nicknames.

If someone could let the rookie know that if he wins he can pay the hospital biil I get next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks kid, youre retirement acct may not grow if i dont win this

To be honest,  I have no idea why or how that poll is there.  :dontask:

me neither...who put it up please?

make the explanation good or else it goes....T-20MINS AND COUNTING!!!

 ;hide; ;scarymoment; ;adamM; ;welcome;
i'd love to know what that means.....

Keep it up Brian i'm rooting for ya!

20 mins is over generous isn't it?

Okay, while we're waiting for din dins to finish, a quick tea time teaser for you.

Boy, are you in trouble now.  ;scarymoment;

Feel free not to show it to them spoony..... PLEASE....

I can confirm he isn't ringing a bell, and there isn't one on his collar either.

could i be the first 2 suggest a "whos norks are these?" competition. Maybe a best ass photo comp if the last one is in bad taste.

I'd just like to clarify that the hole in Arthur's mouth is through general wear and tear. Any accusations of sexual perversion will not be treated lightly.

actaully, Arthur looks like a well used glove puppet.

Sooty and sweep, eat your heart out

now there's an idea... ;goodvevil;

I hadn't noticed one till you pointed it out!!!


Shame on you Sonpoy!!!  Shame on you!

if its male dont let flusshy see it ,or borrow it

He doth protest to much me thinks... Bad, Bad Arthur

About 20 minutes til the restart.

Any chip counts in particular that you want me to keep an eye on?

hi there, could i have a chip count on Mad M3 please?, thank you

no worries.

He had around 10k just before the break.

rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

Woody Deck news is suspiciously absent

Keep an eye on the rookie for us.... surely he can't keep up the grind....or can he?!!? 8) ;goodvevil;

any idea why the rookie is wearing a betfair shirt? - has a deal with them now?

How is Smoking doing?

Could you ask him how the mince pie is.

hello greg , not playing tonight.

Can you guess what online site he plays?

[attachment deleted by admin]

i see - cheers sloppy.

ps. we have a guest updater today...

Mrs Merton

I have a better one.

[attachment deleted by admin]

am i the only one thinking "you would"

Seeing as the good Mr. Raab and Flushy have gone for dinner "a little way down the beach" I have commandeered this laptop and will try to assist Snoopy until they return.

Like with some hands I saw while wandering around:

A rather harried-looking MilkybarKid was on the button, and a short stack raised to 700.  He flat called, and so did big blind Greg Raymer.  The flop came 4s jd 2d and Raymer bet out 2k, which almost put the short stack in the cutoff all-in.  He took the plunge, Ben folded and Raymer called the little bit extra.
Greg:  Ad 4d
Matey:  9d 9h

The turn and river were inconsequential (in other words, no A no diamond) and the little guy took a bite out of Pokerstars Posterboy (and general all-round nice chap) Raymer.

The reason Ben Grundy is looking annoyed is that even with his reasonable 16k or so, getting his Aces cracked by Queens, all in on an 8 8 2 flop has rattled him.  He has plenty, but I am sure it's the space where the 24k total used to be that he's looking at.

Hey Jen how is the rookie holding up?

:hello: Jen


Well done hunny..

Hi - I first said hi to the rookie near the start of today and he was very subdued indeed and held up under 2k!  I went out to see a sight or two with my Mum, and when I got back he had 16,000!  I think not deciding "now I don't have a lot of chips I might as well go in with anything" has saved his bacon, and chipped him right back up... He's in better spirits. :)

Kevin Daly is OUT

He raised to 500 preflop from the button. The small blind and under the gun limper both call.

Flop = Kc 4h Aspades

check, check, Daly bets 1.5k.

Scandieboy in the small blind calls, under the gun folds.

Turn = Kd

Scandieboy bets just 1k and Daly moves all in.

Scandieboy dwells momentarily, actually thinking he may be beat, and then calls.

Scandieboy = 4d 4s

Daly = Ac Jc

He's a gonna...

After some preflop action, table neighbours Les Kerrighan and Martin Green cross swords briefly.

Les bets 1.2k on a Q-2-3 flop, Martin reraises to 3k, Les folds.

Thanks Jen how much time left in this level?

I think the Rookie found parts of his game that he never knew were there today. I'm sure Sensei Yoyo will get a nice cut if Mr Wilson cashes.

And hello Trace  :hello:

Here are a couple of counts I think Snoopy just couldn't manage ;)

Sverre Sundbo (Go Sverre) 15,600
Ross Boatman      32,500
Surinder              26,000
Juha Helppi          7,600
Patrik Antonius     9,500
Richard Ashby       3,700
John Kabbaj         9,100
Steve Vladar         4,800
Peter Roche         5,250 

Probably almost an hour - a ninety minute clock is an unusual and marvellous thing. 

Hi Jen,

way to go yesterday, best of luck for tomorrow. Hi to your mum too.

Martin

Hi Jen, not TOO many updates, you are missed but save your energy!

Damn well done yesterday!! and wish you all the best for the rest of the week ( I doubt James passed the message on yesterday lol)  :D

 ;goodluck;

kick arse tomorrow girlie :)

Ben Grundy survives an all-in.

On a ten high flop, Mateyboy moves all-in for 7k on the button.

Grundy dwells momentarily before call-in all-in for 6k with A-T.

Mateyboy flips over A-K.

No King arrives and Ben quite literall breathes a huge sigh of relief.

well done jen ,you said in wallsall you couldnt wait , youve took youre chance and kicked ass ,
well done keep it up gl .

Here's our view of the feature table from the press room. That's the preforemetnioned Martin's Poker beauty sitting next to Deauville finalist Theo Jorgenssen.

As you can see, the action is gripping.

I daren't wish you luck or anything judging by my bokking abilities...  ::)

How is Blondite Tommy (A2M) doing?

This how professional team Big TK are. They've matched the background on this screen with their ties and hankies. Smooooooth as a baby's bottom.



[attachment deleted by admin]

All the best 2morrow Jen.

Thanks Mel - sorry I have been so lame at replying to stuff - phone a bit dead and anyway Orange France or Orange Monaco or whatever acts a bit funny and provides beeping instead of service some of the time...

I got to wander around not just the poker room but an actual town on this trip - we went in the bit of the Casino de Monte Carlo which you can kind of just walk into.  Like I remember tikay saying last time, it is just mind-bogglingly extravagant and opulent in an old-school way (huge chandeliers, gold columns, big paintings of wispily clad ladies etc.).  In contrast the Monte Bay is all sleek and funny shaped and high ceilinged and brand spanking new.

I haven't had time to read the whole update in detail, but I know a pic of that fountain that looks like a dandelion is up.  Cool.

He's on 28.8k after eliminating Jeff Burke (NenoBear)

Tommy raised to 800 from under the gun with A-K, Jeff reraised all-in for 4.5k from the big blind with A-T, Tommy called.

Flop brought a ten, but Tommy straightened and flushened on the river (sooooo greedy)

Brian would have hit a full house if he'd have played his pocket threes. Then the Rookie really would have been up and running.

Hi Jen, well played yesterday, good luck tomorrow

Now go to bed!!

Good luck for tomorrow Jen :)up :-* :)up ;D :respect: ;goodluck;

Brian Wilson -- 16.5k

moving up gradually

gradually???

Okay Thewy, where's the Rookie and who's this imposter?!?!

snoops can you please get me a chip count for Kev O'connel  and please say hi to him from me and leona if she is about  thxs

Connor Tate is OUT.

Either that or he is hiding under his table.  ;hide;

Noah Boeken is OUT

Good Luck Jen....

I'm going to be keeping an eye on this forum for updates

All the best.

Eugene

A quick tale from Barny Boatman.

With virtually the whole table limping, Barny sees a cheap flop of 8-5-2 with 5-2 on the button.

Everyone checks round to Barny who bets his two pair.

The blinds both fold, but underthegun, Richard Ashby, moves all-in. Barny calls.

Turn = 4

River = A

Ashby wins with trips aces.

Ouch.

That never happens to me!  ;tk;

The Rookie has dropped to 11k after clashing with Paul Maxfield. Brian had 2 pair with 6-9, but Maxfield had made a straight on the river.

ask julian to give me a ring will you sloppy

morrow

I believe this is our current chip leader, Christian Ulriksen, sitting pretty with a cool 57k.



[attachment deleted by admin]

is Johan Storakers still in? and if so how many chips?

doing a great job guys with the updates, could i have a chip count update please and an update on MAD M3 please, thanks again

julian says send him a pm on blonde

Level 4 should be about complete correct?

snoopy love the last pic, more of that please ;)

Liz Lieu is OUT.

all-in on a flop of 5-6-9

I could only see one of her cards, which was a queen, but it was all academic as her opponent had flopped the straight with 7-8 suited.

Turn 4, River 9

Any Kabbaj or Bloom updates would be appreciated....

Johan Storakers -- 19k



[attachment deleted by admin]

Level 5
70 minutes left
Blinds = 150/300

98 players remaining

6 levels to be played.

Hopefully because you don't play Aces as badly as that.  :D

John Kabbaj -- 11k



[attachment deleted by admin]

Tony Bloom is OUT.

I'm certain of that, well pretty sure...

Hmm. Come to think of it, I'm not 100%.

He might be out, looks doubtful now.

Hold on, I'd better check.

yep

Tony Bloom is OUT

You know when you limp with aces underthegun praying for a raise that never comes.

Well, I always get justly buggered by the flop, but I never hit the reoutdraw.

grr. this guy did.

any news on MAD M3 would be greatly appreciated, and photos of the main table, if thats possible thanks

What time are they playing till tonite?

6 levels - about another 2 hrs left.

Brian Wilson down to 1500 after Another AA - but this time 99 hit a set sending his chips spiralling down... Snoopy has the thrilling next instalment for you...

Brian moved his shortstack all-in from the button for 1.5k.

After asking 'how much is it', the big blind glances at his cards, mulls it over, then lets Brian off the hook.

'I've only looked at one,' explains Brian.

he flips over the Ac, then the Aspades to go with it.

That's five pocket rockets Brian's been ealt today.

Yeah im the one who used to live with bob curry - hows it going m8?


Any updates on the scottish trio ?


Cheers

Balloo/fugu/

23SPADES here on new name cant remember password so set up a new acc lol

one of the boys just rang 10 min ago so it should be ok ish big tr out con out pocket 72out martyn cav out ul m8 ajack was on 28k goodwin 8k gwibow 28 ,,,,,about 10 min ago

bummer

Ben Grundy (milkybarkid) has shot up to 32k after making a cracking call.

An agressive player who has shown a few bluffs previous to this hand limps preflop. Ben raises with pocket jacks, Mateyboy calls.

Flop = 2-T-A

check, check

Turn = 6

Mateyboy checks, Ben bets 2k, Mateyboy raises to 5k, Ben calls.

River = T

Mateyboy bets a menacing 9k.

The call would leave Ben with just 2k, but he is able to push in the chips and take the pot down with his two hooks.

Mateyboy grimaces, shows K-J, and chucks his cards into the muck.

Jen here again -

Vicky Coren News Now -

Having steadily built chips today, she was just involved in a couple of dramatic hands, firstly losing then gaining a stack of yellows (1k).

So - on the first hand, it was a small vs big blind battle.  The small blind either limped or made a small raise (don't know which one) and she raised 1,000.  Call.

Flop: Jh JD 8d  check - check.
Turn: 2s  He bets 2k, call.
River:  3c  Matey moves all in and she eventually passes. 

THEN he flashed his hand to a mate of his and Andy Black saw it and insisted they all get a peek (fair's fair).  It turned out the guy had  Ac 5c... Vicky kept her composure although she got involved in an 11k pot fairly shortly afterwards.  She came out on the right side of it though, betting 4k out of her remaining 7k or so on the river with the board:
 Ahrt5h5c9d Kd

Her opponent this time went into the tank for at least a couple of minutes, but eventually she took it.  A little up, overall then.

Are you c chops?

If not, then I'm not sure I can call out c chops in the cardroom. Big TK will have me by the ear before I can say 'Love the tie'.

Do you have any names, descriptions, or pictures?

hi m8 marty bad luck early on ak v 24 dim flop ad  9  d  5 s turn ace river 3,,,ben kept calling marts raises lol he sounds like me lol....moday was v good m8 50 runners 100 fout

My friends call me c****chops affectionately when my 84 double sooted rivers a straight versus their AA.


Rory Mathews, Ben Bard and Ian Girdwood are their names.
Mafews, B2Bullets and Tillerman online.

Im not sure is ben is playing. As for a description Rory is tall skinny dark hair big smile, ben is short and ginger and tillerman looks like a geek.

Cheers

Mr C****Chops

<edited by Heid to remove offensive language>

More from Jen -

Peter Roche is out, having had a bit of a "small non-connected cards" day - and capping it off with getting it all in with 9s 9c on a 10 10 8 board, getting called by Ad Kh which rivered the Ace.  Has that resigned look which says, "that was a bummer."  I think he said his intention was to play online...

Brian Wilson is OUT

After just this moment moving to the feature table, The Rookie has probably experienced the shortest TV appearance in history.

The very first hand, Brian moves all-in with pocket threes. Unfortunately, he ran into pocket nines and a lack-lustre K-2-5-7-Q flop.

Mad m3 -- 16k
Jim Kerrighan -- 14.5k
Alan Betson -- 9k
Mats Iremark -- 10k

A freezeout too... I AM impressed.   who we cheering for in Monaco now then?

Ian Girdwood played yesterday and is through to Day 2 with around average chips, maybe just short. His stack size will be at the end of yesterday's thread.

I've never heard of Ben Bard, you may need to post a picture.

Rory Mafews is still in.

lmao no one all gone

Ane news on: Patrick Antonius, Ingemar backman, Theo Jorgensen?

And quite right too - there is absolutely no reason that women players can't play men players.  Unless they don't want to sit in big rooms full of men.  But if there were more of them playing, then that wouldn't be the case.  We have a catch 22 situation, and FAR more women could be winning the lot.  But then again, I have a bit of bee-in-bonnet thing about getting congratulated for things like "being the last woman in" because sometimes that is the case right from the outset; I sit down with that honour...

Anyway, I hope your office ladies get a game together.  And kick your arse. Flushy says that isn't too hard in any case.

Jen

mind you id like to see JEN THE MISTRESS show em all how to do it shes an alright girl and shes normall lol too,,

I know that the danish homeage "acemag" has a blog from montecarlo with updates on danish players - not shure if i am allowed to post a link here...

Rory Mafews -- 17.3k



[attachment deleted by admin]

flushy my little gay friend can you give me a list of whos left in if poss

I don't know who Terry is, Barry.

Of course i can my teddybear

It was, he was all in, with Lee Nelson still to act.  Lee eventually folded and Fossilboy started spraffing away about how pocket eights is his favourite hand, but this one was better...



[attachment deleted by admin]

Vinni,

Patrick Antonius is OUT

Shorstacked, he made his move with T-6 but got caught with his pants down.

john just won the 8 o, clock free role , to easy .

One sec, I'll just ask Thomas Kremser to call out 'sausage' on the microphone.

thats  the one , just playing the sat for the world series

Ingemar Backman -- 11.1k

Theo Jorgenssen is currently on the TV table. Pretty difficult to read his chip count, but he seems to be on around 15k. (give or take 10k  ;hide;)

im sure thomas will oblige , tell him its me whos asking  LOL

How much did u win Barry and have u still got it?

YEP i want a rake back now up to 500

Well - they said 87 left......that makes:

scandiboy 1 through 62
Frenchy 63-73
etc

Theo down to 5K...

flushy , any news on our man

Martin Green has gone. He was short stacked and pushed in with K5 in the small blind for his remaining 4k or so. The big blind, who had previously cracked his kings with nines, called with AQ. Cruelly he hit a king on the turn, but the river was an ace...

Oh dear...

Ok CL news.

Andy Black takes a HUGE hit vs Mr Mimran.

I am not sure how the money went in but by the end of the hand Andy's AA was no good vs the A5d which had made the nut flush!

Look at all those chips!

Mimran is now CL on 65,000!

[attachment deleted by admin]

Mickey Wernick is on 32k now. Solid.

Andy Blach has a heap of chips...

unfortunately they're all low denomination.

Green = 25

Purple = 500
Yello = 1000

[attachment deleted by admin]

goooooooooooooooooooooooo micky my son

Mad m3 really is mad. In fact I could swear I saw steam blowing out of his ears. He's like a kettle.

He was mumbling something about kings and how he knew it was going to come when he saw the turn.  :dontask:

John Kabbaj -- 14.5k
Barny Boatman -- 9k
Philip Hilm -- 42.5k
Mad m3 -- 15.5k

Nah I'm pretty shite.  Got a bit of a shock there.  For one moment I thought Flushie had gone a bit mental on me.

No need to defend the female of the species - tongue was firmly in cheek.  :)

Now go be deadlier than the men!  I doubt anyone in the field has a bigger crowd of supporters.

Hello, can you tell me the chips of Jan Boubli. As well as other French players. Merci for this.

11k?

75 ish greens 55 ish blacks and 7 purples

Any news on Ace2M???

most appreciated if you could.

Brilliant performance Snoop / Flushy / Jack, many thanks.

All the best to Ben and A2M for the rest of today.

Goooo get um tomorrow Jen - all the best.

Greg Raymer getting a little heated.

After 2 limpers, he raised from 300 to 1300, as he threw in his chips a freak thing happened, the 3 x 100 chips obscured his 1k chip from the rest of the table.

Alan Betson announces call from the SB and puts 150 in, Greg then points out he raised and Alan wants to now take his 150 back. TK!!!!!!!!

The big man bowls in, he makes the common sense ruling that the 150 should be allowed to be taken back, given the freak placement of the chips.

Post rulling the multi millionaire didnt seem to happy about the loss of 150 (i guess $5,000,000 doesnt go very far these days....)

Infact he made it very clear while big TK was still by the table that it is a bad ruling and even if the dealer had announced 150 he would expect to have still had it left in the pot. Big TK looked as if he was about to say something but then just gazed down at Raymer and walked off. Does he ever get in an arguement?

I just spoke to fossilboy about it and contrarily he said he had no problem with the ruling, that it was common sense and the right decision.

Flushy, you makning things up again,lol

Him and his tales :)

i think Mr Raymer is trying to save face....nothing gets passed the blonde Team!

Great updates as usual all - all the very best tomorrow Jen

French Open Champion Mats Iremark has been moved to the feature table.



[attachment deleted by admin]

[attachment deleted by admin]

This is the last level, so we have 90 minutes remaining.

There are currently 80 players left.

Ross Boatman -- 34k
Mats Iremark -- 15.2k
Ace2M -- 26.5k

Oh, I don't know myself, just though it would be easier if I got one of you guys to do it for me.  ;hide;

hi there, how many runners left from yesterday please and how many were there all together?

any names, piccies, descriptions, etc?

Boubli? I'll have a gander.

Thankyou Snoops

[attachment deleted by admin]

Boubli. 14k according to Rolf

A few counts

Ross Boatman 34k
Jim Kerrigan 7.5k
Mark Teltscher 9k (When I was doing the rounds he said "don't ask me", so I asked him)
MadM 16k
Rory Matthews 5k
Paul Maxfield 13.5k
Ben Grundy 30k

I need help with naming this guy. I spotted him in Vienna playing a huge cash game, so he must have a bit of dough behind him.

Anyhow, whoever he is, he's currently sitting on 42k.



[attachment deleted by admin]

WTF is that on andy blacks chin ...... is it bert or ernie of sesame street lol

Ingemar Backman -- 12.5k

BREAKING NEWS

Mateyboy is STILL in.

The man in the picture is Marcus Golser, a high limit cash game player and a really nice guy

johny boy , chip counts plz

Who?

Goodnight all.

Ross Boatman has shot up to 48k.

I can't get too close because Mark Teltscher, in the foreground, is trying to make me his water-boy. (or biatch, as Mr Raab says)





[attachment deleted by admin]

76 players
150/300(25)

Just seen a call for a ruling on Andy Black's table. Mateyboy picked up a bunch of chips and counted them out over the line, cutting them into 4 piles and then withdrawing his hand with some chips still in it. Vicky Coren, who was not in the hand called for a ruling saying "either all the chips over the line should go, or just the first pile he cut out".

They were cut out in the standard way, in one continuous movement.

Andy Black did not seem amused, thinking this was pointless. He may have a point.

Big TK came over and said it was fine as long as the cutting out was in one continous movement, but to avoid confusion, in future they should be counted out before being put over the line.

Nice updates Snoops :)

Anyone up for a €10,000 SNG? Well too late its full!

Thats right, 10 players have put up 10k each and its winner take all!

Carlos Mortenson and Noah Boeken are 2 of the runners.

Damn no seat for me then  ::)

Just like cincins on a thursday night that....except we split it 70/30....

Tommy (Ace2M) is down to 18.2k.

After some preflop action, we see a flop of Td 5s 8c.

Ace2M checks, Mateyboy bets 1k, Ace2M flat calls.

Turn = 7c

Ace2M checks, Mateyboy bets 2.3k, Ace2M calls.

River = 3d

Check, check.

Mateyboy takes it down with Q-T, Ace2M mucks.

did you say water boy or RENT BOY

Ace2M goes head to head with some unknown player, Randy Back or something.

AK v AK, all-in preflop.

choppy choppy

A few of the fish in the 10k sng...




[attachment deleted by admin]

Jan Boubli -- 32k



[attachment deleted by admin]

another of the SNG fish

Quite a field when you consider he is probably the value!

[attachment deleted by admin]

could I have a chip count for MAD M3 plz snoopy, thanks mate

Next door to this table is a game of Chinese poker. It's scored on a points system, players in the game i saw were Ram Vaswani, Erik Sagstrom and Patrick Antonious. Patrick is learning the game as he goes.....costly at €1,000 a point!

Ram is up about €60,000.

The problem with this is, its day 1!!! Imagine what the stakes will be come day 4!

Barny Boatman is OUT

He lost a big pot to Richard Ashby previous to his exit hand where Ashby flush draw flushed up on the turn.

Not long after, Barny pushes his remaining 5k in with pocket deuces, only to run into Ashby yet again who called with K-Q.

A queen on the flop looked to have sealed Barny's fate, but he still had a flush draw with one of his deuces. A club nor a two came, and Barny is booted from the TV table.
