Good Luck to the frenchies who are still in and particularly to Anthony Lelouche, Pascal Perrault and Paul Testud, My picks for today ! (http://images.replacements.com/images/images5/china/W/wedgwood_grand_gourmet_salut_canape_plate_P0000143187S0013T2.jpg) Jpean! Yes the French players have put in a strong showing so far with Eric Koskas and Anthony Lellouche perched ominously in the top 4 at the moment. Leading the pack for the Brits is the irrepressible Welshman Roberto Romanello with a fine stack of 86k. With Radio Romanello at full blast, there would be great entertainment on the final table so I'd like to see him come through today in good shape. Go the welsh wizard! Mark Teltscher, Roland De Wolfe and Marc Goodwin are three of the most recognisable Brits left and all have decent stacks that could see them make the final table whilst Paul Alterman, Josh Gould, Graham Clarkson and several others complete the UK contingent still staking a claim to glory. It should be a great day. We anticipate a fiery start as some of the shorties gamble to build a stack so gl to all and let's gogogogo!

Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT San Remo: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on April 03, 2008, 02:46:21 PM Thomas Fourgeron is OUT with the Kc Kh into Aspades Ahrt of Alessandro De Michele.
Graham 'Evil Genius' Clarkson pushed K-Q over the top of an A-6 button raise, was called but managed to nose ahead on a A-J-T-A-x board. Daniel Negreanu has doubled up with the stellar A-3 vs A-A coup pushing over the top of a late position raise and in no way at all sucking out on the 7-4-7-5-6 board. Martin Wendt bets 4,800 on a 7h Kd 5d flop, Simon Johansson c/raises all-in for around 22k more. Wendt tanks but passes Qc Qs, Roland De Wolfe pipes up, "I snap call there!" Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT San Remo: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on April 03, 2008, 03:07:16 PM Some photos of the early action.
Roberto Romanello. Fairly quiet at the moment, just seen folding A-J on the turn face up. "I've always got a hand - me" he might have said in his chirpy welsh accent later in the day but he's just quietly getting into things at the moment. (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13674&g2_serialNumber=1) The tournament organisers have seated two of the hoody of the day contenders together to assist hte photographers. Very kind of them too! Here we have Brad Pitt lookalike Tim Van Der Zwet and well supported American player, especially by the Gobbo clan, Mark Flowers. No early fluctuations in their starting stacks 28k and 19k respectively.

Pascal Perrault and Liz Lieu saw an ace high flop and shipped their chips in faster than you could say "Sacre bleue, i sink i ave ze nuts!" but when the dust settled the A-J of triple P was languishing behind Lieu's A-Q and no outdraw means the amiable, pony-tailed French maestro departs the arena... Bad luck Jpean...

I'm a big fan of his twin towers rising from an ocean of chips with a Taj Mahal style tower topping it off.

He's a slippery customer for sure, and if he doesn't get fried, is definitely a contender for the title.

Roland De Wolfe also looks like he has suffered a set back or two in the early stages and can't have much more than 16k, unless he has hidden some chips away somewhere... Danish player Jonas Klausen is one of the chip leaders at present with 90-95k in his stack. John Kabbaj is OUT! Details of his exit are unavailable but he was spotted away from the tables availing himself of one of the ham and cheese sandwiches from the bar. Kabbaj's des-patched kids.

Check/raising Eric Koskas' 7.5k bet to 20.7k on a 9c 2d 2c 3h board, but then folding to a push. Koskas triumphantly showed what he thought was a bluff in Ad Qs, until Roberto showed Aspades Ts.

Anyway, he just doubled up off Anthony Spinella, Spinella holding a flushy Kc Tc on a Ad 6c 9c but Brunson's Ah Ks held to propel the American star over 50k. Bart Wetsteijn was very short but just doubled off another shortstack, Tyler Reiman. Bart held A-Q, Tyler J-J, the chips flew in preflop and an interesting flop of A-K-T brought no more surprises as some limp, tepid blanks fell on the turn and river and a huge exhalation of relief from Bart was heard.

He saw a flop with Marco della Monica of 6d 9d Td. Check from Milanov, bet of 10k from Marco, check raise allin from Milanov for another 15k, called by Monica pretty quickly. Milanov showed Ad Aspades for a nice overpair and flush draw but Marco showed 9c 9s for an even nicer set! Even so Milanov's aces with his nut flush draw were only marginally worse than a coin flip, but a filling up 6c on the turn left him sweating an Ace on the river which duly... ...didn't arrive. We are down one crazy Bulgarian... Johannes Strassmann who struggled with a smallish stack earlier has proved that mighty oaks from little acorns grow by nurturing his little acorn into a mighty 150k+ stack which will be amongst the chip leaders at this stage... Mark Flowers was also going well with 80k+ Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT San Remo: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on April 03, 2008, 08:20:35 PM Todd Brunson continues to be on a Brunson burner, as he has now increased his stack to 115k or so. Again Todd was one of those, like Strassmann who cradled a pretty small stack earlier but now has plenty of opportunity (and the chips required) to make a big impression.

Clock on Thorson, and (pictured) Andersen stands up awaiting his fate. Countdown and Thorson's hand is dead. Andersen flips over 7c 6c and starts doing a dance-sort-of-rubdown, I'm not sure how much gyration is required for it to become an insult if I'm truthful though.

Marcos Gabriel, Henrik Kask, Guillaume De La Gorce all saw a flop of 7-T-8 and one by one they ALL got their chips into the middle! Last to call was Marcos who had reservations about his hand after watching all the carnage in front of me, despite the fact he held the 2nd nuts with 6h 9h. He was obviously fearing J-9, although his fears were unfounded as his two opponent's very strong hands were T-T and 8-8 for Henrik and Guillaume respectively. The Brazilian needed to avoid the board pairing on the turn and river and the dealer obliged him with a 4d and 6d to win Marcos the HUGGGGE pot and send Guillaume crashing to the rail...

Anyway, he got looked up in two spots and the other two players checked down a 6-9-Q-5-T board. On the river the triumphant Mr tambourine shouted out "ASSOL ASSOL!" and at first I thought he had added crude insults to his repertoire of ridiculous noises but NO!, he flipped over A-A which was good and meant he had tripled through to almost 10 BBs.

He survived this encounter and although I don't have his exact count, I would make an educated guess that 80 - 100k is his current stack... *NOTE* The press have now been evacuated from the central tournament, meaning coverage may be a little more tricky than before, which considering negotiating the narrow spaces between the tables previously was already much like trying to shove an elephant through a hole in a sock, means we may have a few difficulties.

Bad luck for him the supremely chipped up Jonas Klausen (who incidentally was the guy with the straight versus 2 sets earlier - not some random brazilian guy as I inaccurately suggested) found A-T dominating him.

Jonas gritted his teeth and threw his headback in disgust but then fistpumped his pleasure as the Td hit the turn. A blank river meant Jonas' tens were, well better than Rolf's 8s. Rolf shook hands with the table and departed to be interviewed by various attractive scandinavian TV presenters. The world watches Jonas' triumph, including top left, a familiar figure.

Player consider each decision to be crucial and with the stacks shallowing in many cases this is true. Frenchman Eric Koskas remains the chip leader at this point with a bountiful stack of 600k+... Italian Dario "Can you buy me some fags mister" Mineri is in 2nd place with 400k or so. Every pot he wins is accompanied by a massive roar of appreciation as the effusive Italian crowd show their appreciation for the popular local Johannes Strassmann looks to have lost a few chips, down to 95k or so, and trying desperately to engage Todd Brunson in conversation without much success. He then raises two hands in a row, the first time he shows A-K, the 2nd he doesn't show. Probably A-K again you think? Todd was sitting with around 120k... Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT San Remo: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on April 03, 2008, 11:42:18 PM Raymond Rayme is OUT. Looks like he ran into the Aces of Anthony Spinella.
Jan Heitmann bets 10k on the Ks 9c 8s board, Dag Palovic raises to 35k, Jan calls but then Dag pushes on the 5c turn and Jan is forced fold. Dario has lost a few chips doubling up a short-stack's A-K with A-J. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT San Remo: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: JungleCat03 on April 04, 2008, 12:07:39 AM 40 players left, we are playing to 9 levels (end of level 18) or till 32 remain, whichever comes first...
They just split up a table following the latest knockout so there is a short hiatus while they re-arrange the tables and cordons. Thomas Kremser, for all his experience and respect in which he is held in the poker world was not afraid to knuckle down and move a few chairs himself, all without ruffling his neatly gelled hair and tailor-made suit. Impressive. Johannes Strassmann looks to have bolstered his stack once more, back up to 160k or so whilst Eric Koskas has moved onto 700k now. Apparently there was a raise and Eric moved allin. The raiser showed 8-8 and folded whilst Eric flipped over 6-2! "If you are folding that then I am allin whenever anyone raises!" he tells the table. A few hands later, there is a raise from a player, Eric is good to his word and sets him in. The player calls with K-J figuring it is good, but this time Eric has A-9 which holds, knocking out yet one more! Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT San Remo: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on April 04, 2008, 12:14:16 AM Eric is utterly barmy. Not in a crazy madcap Soren Jensen sort of way, but in an erratic non-stop pot playing juggernaut sort of way. He's just doubled up a short-stacked Andreas Larsson with Qs 3s vs Aspades Qc. Andreas went to move in but only moved a couple of chips in meaning it counted as a call. The flop came 8s 4s Ahrt so predictably all the chips went in anyway. Board bricked out though.
(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13762&g2_serialNumber=1) I'm half tempted just to sit at his table until the end of the day as there's bound to be a story pretty much every hand... Found: Paul Alterman, the last of the Brits.

Isaac is tucked away quite far from us, making it hard to follow his progress. This was the best shot of his face I could manage! (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13766&g2_serialNumber=1) He has 125k or so... The well chipped up Jonas Clausen here... (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=13764&g2_serialNumber=1) Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT San Remo: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on April 04, 2008, 12:58:59 AM Todd Brunson and Johannes Strassman see a flop.
Aspades Kh 6h Check, check. 4c Check check. 5s Todd checks, Strassman bets 18k and Todd calls, both show K-Q. Chop chop. Meanwhile behind me, Brandon Schaefer (who busted earlier and Lee Jones are waxing lyrically about how they'd have played the hand in Todd and Johannes shoes. Mark, ("it's Randal, everyone calls him Randal," says Brandon), ok, Randal Flowers has doubled through Todd Brunson with Ace King vs a pair of Nines. A solitary King on the flop was enough for him, and leave the Toddmeister short. He wasn't short for long though, a instant double up courtesy of Jan Heitmann who held Jacks which were dwarfed by Todd's Kings. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT San Remo: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on April 04, 2008, 01:31:50 AM Ok, play has now finished for the day.
