EPT Warsaw: Day 1B - Interactive

Richard Lis is OUT. Didn't see his hand, but I spotted that he was up against Jacks and the board was Ace high.

Couldn't see Roy Brindley on my last outing, so he's on the missing presumed lost list. Needs to be confirmed though.

Taken out by Chris Ulrud I believe.

Orjan Holt of Norway is emerging as a major contendor with just over 40k.

I tried to ask Norwegian Poker Magazine's Kettle if he knew anything about this guys, but he pretty much responded with "I know naaaaaaaaathin".

Nope, hold on, Kettle is firing info at me.

"All I know that he isn't sponsored and he qualifed online."

More info, from another Norwegian source...

Apparantly, 23-year old Orjan (preflop_xx online) studied 'Fireman techics' before coming into poker... I kid you not. When I asked if he is a fireman then, my source replied, no, he's a poker player.  All very bizarre.

Anyhow, here's a picture of him from earlier.

Apologies, we've been disconnected for the last ten minutes, so I'm going to use my vodafone card to post the next couple of posts, the first one of which is...

Former Paris WPT finalist, Thomas (I am the Eggman) Wahlroos, is struggling with just 15k and just folded (face-up - I think this was strategy for when he makes his move) A-Qs to Søren Kongsgaard Nielsen's re-raise.

"That was a sick sick sick fold. No other Scandie would fold that," commented Thomas.

Also, Dave Welch is still plugging away. Was down to 5k at one point after having his set outdrawn to a runner runner straight. The third spade on the Turn caused the problems, but also stopped Dave's opponent from re-raising the River.

But, although virtually down to the felt, Dave didn't concede and has doubled through twice, one of which was a 7-7 vs. A-J encounter, 7 on the Flop a very welcome sight indeed.

Now with his shades down, the usually smiley Dave is looking very serious indeed, and he has every right to as he's managed to build his 5k up to a very playable 21,250, not that far away from average.

No sign of Anders Wijk or James Honeybone. In fact, I know the latter to be OUT.

Meanwhile, there's an interesting cash game brewing between Andy Black, Partic Martensson, John Duthie, Theo Jorgenssen and... Mr Johnny 'Bad_ip' Lodden.

How is Ben Grundy getting on ?  Any news ?

Was just on my way to undertake the second batch of chipcounts and photos when I was forced into an about turn on the staircase by the passing of two familiar figures. One of them was Thomas Grundy (sry), and the second was Roy Brindley, who confirmed the earlier murmur of his exit by saying, "I knocked myself out, moved in with Ace high but ran into a set, so slightly behind."
