Fantastic updates over the last couple of days, keep up the brilliant work.  :respect: to all those involved.

Every Day, Thomas Kremser and his team wear a different colour matching tie and hankie. Yesterday they took the bull by the horns and opted for pink. Very brave!

Any guesses on today's colour?

I'm going to live dangerously and go for lime green.

 ;adamM;

Good luck to all the Brits still in the running!!

P.S Why is Miss Mercier highlighted in red, has she obtained a British passport?

Morning all!

Another quite beautiful day here in Deauville, clear blue sky, bit cold, but still lovely.

I can't remember looking forward to a day's poker so much for ages - the "Home Team" are going terrific, & there are heaps of blondes still going strong.

We will try & pull out the names of the blondeites if time permits - I'm amazed how many there are.

The poker 425 Camera Crew will be here at 3pm France time, so we can get some nice blonde interviews & footage.

I think - not 100% - that we play down to 2 tables today, but I may be wrong there.

I always highlight my close lady friends.  ;goodvevil;

We have at LEAST 13 blondeites still in - amazing!

Great reporting as ever guys , keep it up. Lets have a Blonde Champ!

I have thoroughly enjoyed the updates over the last two days... Great Work - looking forward to more of the same today.

Good luck to all remaining blondites

Quick question for tikay or Yponos... Are the tables played 9 or 10 handed? and is this typical of all EPT events?

Morning guys, (It's still morning in blighty)

Can I just say what a privelige it is to be able to see and "Hear" whats going on in Deauville everyday, in real time!

What a great service, especially when you can interact. Speaking of which, can someone wish Jen good luck from me, and also post a list of the prizemoney

Fantastic updates and wish all blondites the very best for today.

Will be awsome if we get a blonde to the final.

Snippy...want some nice photo's of the blonde lady dealer...you must know which one I mean.

Junior has asked me to ask you...bit shy the lad !!

Hi Nightfly!, thanks.

No, not 10 handed, not 9 handed - we are playing EIGHT handed, which really is excellent. They play 8 handed at the Monte Carlo EPT, too. That's poker at it's best, to my mind.

sloopy is upset that you called him yponos.

Hows the little one Nightfly - can we have a pic, please?

Caught up on the updates this morning, brilliant work.

GL to all the blondes left in. Would be great to have a blonde champ.

Prize Money - give us a couple of minutes. I've delegated that one to Alright Jack.

So far, the blonde office houses Flushy, Alright Jack, sloppy, & myself. Not seen Ben yet, hope he's OK.

The news from Jen is that she does not feel too well, but she'll be OK, I'm sure. She is absolutely exhausted. We shall keep her sugar levels up, & she'll be alright, I'm sure. Her Mum watched all day yesterday - "Legume" I think is her blonde alias.

Get her some lucozade sweets, they are the bizness

Morning folks, this is what they're playing for. Small change really.

1st    €480,000
2nd   €259,000
3rd   €155,300
4th   €118,500
5th   €97,700
6th   €76,800
7th   €60,800
8th   €43,500

15th-16th €11,300
17th-24th €8,800
25th-32nd €6,400
33rd-40th €4,800

Eight handed! WOW (Is that standard then or will they sometimes slum it with 9 per table?)

Please give my sincerest apologies to Osopny for my touch typing errors for this morning... No effonce mneat!

As for the little one... She is fine... Got her training hard for WSOP 2026:

Dalzini.

Is that you in the avatar.

Just curious...  :kiv:

ooops i think i forgot to go to bed

Hi everyone, Goodluck to all the blondes left, Jen i hope you have a good game again today, make sure to drink plenty orange juice, keep the vitamins up, look forward to more great updates today, keep the good work up 8)

Table draws coming up...

No, it is the amazingly gorgeous Jessica Alba.....my wife to be......

No worries Hitlyfng

And talking of the table draw, which slooppy is inputting now, there is something of a sensation. The table "re-draw" has EVERY player seated in alphabetical order! So, to Jen Mason's right is Patrick Martennson, & to her left, Isabelle Mercier, & so on. How weird! But I'm not sure it's iunfair, but I've never seen that before.

On the same theme - think about it - Willie Tann has one Julian Thew to his immediate left. Interesting......

And Wernick - getting the idea now? - has Simon Zach to his left.

Fascinating!

these updates just get better and better...........serious amount of respect to you guys , having seen at close quarters just how hard you work..............good luck to all blondes left in..........keep up the good work



aaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr



 ;tightend; ;goodluck;

Snoops can u save us a seat?

Touchee!

Something doesn't feel right about this...

Is it Random enough

Nightfly your daughter is absolutely gorgeous - I hope she's aiming to be the next Annie Duke!



Noting how many of the Blonde updaters have been getting the same bug, is it something they've all been eating?  Seems very strange that they are being hit with it one by one.

Thanks Trace


Unfortunately she gets it all from her mother....(sigh!)

It's called alcoholic poisoning

Thanks guys for the updates.

Good Luck to Martin Green....

By the way could anyone advise how Willie T went from 3k to 60k in the space of a few hours??

There is quite a nasty bug going round the UK, the day after we got back from Cyprus 3 in my house came down with it, and half the area seems to of had it in the last couple of weeks. Looks to me like one of them was coming down with it, and has passed it on to the others.

James was feeling terrible last night, a bit better today but we'll just have to see if he's managed to shake it off.

Yep, there's a couple in my office with it at the moment - one guy even passed out on the train on the way home from work on Wednesday. It's a nasty one.

On the subject of the alphabetical seating, this seems a really odd idea. What if Barny Boatman had got through from yesterday - would he always want to be sat next to Ross at a poker table? Husbands and wives would be next to each other as well - all very strange.

EDIT: If this becomes standard at tournaments, I might change my surname to Mercien :)

He was on msn a few mins ago moaning to me that he was tired!    bloody lightweight!    LOL

Nightfly, your daughter is gorgeous, you're a lucky man

Can't blame the French then?



sigh  lol

alphabetic seating? ridiculous idea. There should be a stink kicked up about this as seating draws are meant to be random- as has already been pointed out husbands/wifes and brothers/sisters would be sat next to each other. Stewards enquiry demanded if I was there.

(6) Jennifer Mason -- 55,900
(7) Isabelle Mercier -- 63,650
(8) Alex Michaels -- 18,125

Completely agree....also if this became common practice you would end up with the same names on tables together over and over again!

om a side note sponny i think julian gardner has a few more than 9200 mate :)

It does seem a bit dumb.

Wonder who thought this one up? 

what will the antees start at for today,and what time is kick off

and if I was there...I'd be sat next to Dempsey!

good table for Jen, no hefty stacks in there

Snoops, do you want me to pick another random Wolly for you to find today to keep you busy? ;-)

Imagine it.

1) Barny Boatman
2) Ross Boatman
3) Noah Boeken
4) Roy Brindley
5) Doyle Brunson
6) Todd Brunson

That would be an interesting table to watch. Maybe we could have a competition to come up with the best fantasy table to watch purely by picking players with adjacent names alphabetically.

one thing for sure you would start to know how each other played as you would be sat next to them all the time

I'm changing my name to Kendally.  8)

If alphabetic is going to be the future, they'll be a lot of action down at the local deed poll office ...."would Mr.Meccier, Mr.Merrcia, Mr.Mercias, Mr.Merciers and Mr.Merceas please come to table 16, your seats are ready"

1) Ironside
2) Phil Ivey

Don't think it would take him long to suss you out :)

To quote an ancient Chinese proverb

"What a road of clap"

Alphabetical Draw - I don't think there IS a problem with it, BUT, you can only ever do it ONCE, so today will be the first time & last time EVER. It would, of course, be outrageous to do it more than once, because that would mean playing aganst the same peeps all the time. But once only - it's novel, it's cool, & I don't think it's a problem really. Interesting, though....

Nightfly - your Daughter is too lovely for words. You are a lucky Man, & please give my regards to Mrs Nightfly.

Alphabetical idea - nice to see Ariston is back, sitting on the fence as ever......

Sloppy.

That is is the funniest post Ive read on blondepoker.

You caused me to wash my computer screen due to the contents of a can of coke being washed all over it!

Have we ruled out the chance that they did do a random draw, and that it just so happened all the names came out in alphabetical order?

It could have happened like that...

We play down to EIGHT today.

Blinds begin at 800- 1,600, antes  150.

And it's "SHUFFLE UP & DEAL".....

Good Luck to them all!

Anybody running a book on this , two player to watch Theo Jorgensen and Henrik Olander both player can win this with or without cards.

What if your brother, wife, father, etc is playing?

lots of family pots?  rotflmfao

Sorry

Ang x x

Good Luck all, have a great day "may all your tecnical problems be small, & all your wires live"

You would have a very rich family Red Dog. :D

Burnley John is OUT.

He reraised an under the gun raise with pocket fives.

The original raise, Ryan Fronda, dwellt for ages.

Even I almost called for the clock.

He eventually made a good call for most of his chips with pocket sevens.

Another seven on the turn sealed his fate and John's gone early doors.

I've just made the best cup of tea in the world!

(No family pot jokes Ange)

John did't do anything wrong. He has to make a move in the first round or so as his stack is less than 10 times the big blind. Similarly, Ryan, with not much more has to gamble early as well. As another seven fell on the turn, if he had kings aces or any other higher pair, we'd get the same result.

Commisserations to John, who has had a rollercoaster ride through this tournament. He picks up 7 Unusual Suspects points and moved on to a total of 109.

Marc 'MrCool' Goodwin has just ran into some stonkingly bad luck.

All-in preflop.

Glenne Bjorn = Aspades 8d

Marc Goodwin = Kc Kd

Flop = 7d Td 9d

Turn = Js

River = 4h

Ouch

Marc had a face like thunder and asked if he still had to pay.

He's still in though...

Alright Jack are you running a book on the winner.

Mickey's fan base at Blue Square would like to know what the legend listens to on his ipod please?

Jim R, Camel, sopply -  :redcard: :redcard: :redcard: I'm not AMUSED. I murdered the $10k Guaranteed on Blue Square the other night, I had a 3 to 1 chip lead heads-up. So shut it.

Jim we'll see if we can get a book up after end of play today.

sorry - i meant to say......

as long as they do this for this tournament only its a nice idea but if they did it for EVERY EPT then it wouldn't be fair or random but as a ONE OFF i think its good.

but just saw Tikay has said somethin similar whilst i was typing - oh well

I reckon it is Chaka Demus and Pliers, followed by a bit of Snoop Dogg

How did Willie Tann go from 2k to 60k in an hour?, someone asks.

When Willie gets on a roll, he's well-nigh unplayable, especially, as yesterday, when he is against youngsters. The kids with their hoodies & Baseball Caps on backwards were giving it the sour faced dwells & growls, "4k to go", & Willie just sat there giggling, "don't do it Son, don't do it", & when they eventuaally puffed out their chests & bet into Willie, he'd just say "OK, 4k to go, I make it 35k, how you like that eh, how you like that? You don't wanna mess with me, now do you?".....

Wonderful stuff!

Jon, what's the present points total on the Unusual Suspects now?

What points are available?

How is Thomas fougeron (French man with long brown hair) getting on?

Good morning from the United States, everyone! (It's 7:40 am here in the Central Time Zone right now.)

I'm still rooting strong for Isabelle Mercier and Jen Mason -- Isabelle because I know her, and Jen because I FEEL like I know her after following her updates at past events. I want to see BOTH at the final table. :)

I'm not a fan of the alphabetical table draws. Like Tikay said, you can do it ONCE. It's not a problem today (although I don't like having Isabelle & Jen seated NEXT to each other), but if it's repeated, it'll take away some of the integrity of the game.

We've occasionally had strange table draws here in the States too, including one casino (can't remember which one) that did a purely alphabetical draw like this one.

Most of the non-random table draws we've had were based on chip counts -- something like the top eight players were all in seat 5 (if there were eight table remaining), and the bottom eight players were all in seat 4. And it would be seeded in that fashion. It's not random in the usual sense, but it does give extra advantage to the larger stacks and extra disadvantage to the smaller stacks. And it guarantees you won't have the two chip leaders next to each other at the start of the day, and every short stack will have to face at least one deep stack.

Anyway, I hope Table 16 breaks early so Isabelle and Jen can go about the business of taking everyone ELSE's chips.  :)

I have an article to finish writing and a few meetings scheduled, but if you keep up the great reporting (and I'm sure you will), I'll check in as often as I can today.  :)

1.     John    109 
2.    James    96
3.    Jen    95

There is still 9 points for the 2nd suspect that finishes, and 12 for the last one in. There is also still the heads up matches still to come.

John is now on 109 points.

James and Jen are on 96 and 95 points respectively.

However there are 12 points and 9 points still up for grabs in this event depending on who lasts longer - plus bonus points for a money/final table finish.

Following that they still have a few heads up games to play against one another.

Full details here:

www.bluesq.com/suspects (http://www.bluesq.com/suspects)

You're right grandad, Mr Tann sure is a legend...!

Would love to be there playing (if not, then watching), but the excellent coverage here more than makes up for it...!

Keep up the good work...  

Good Luck to all left in especially Jen and Flushy.

how many points will jen get when she wins this comp?

Jon/Jamie,

I know about the final table bonus, but how do the points work for money finishes? I can't seem to find it on the site.

Thanks

Jane x

EDIT: it's ok, just found it  :blonde:   

willie is fantasic to watch or play when hes hitting, in monte carlo last year I got the full extended version of "ariston, you dont want to be betting here,  dont do it etc" . Even after I flopped the nuts I still didn't want to bet into him lol

Mr Fougeron, who has not shown himself to be a Gentlemsan who wins with much decorum, being a table-banger & clapper, has 39,900 I believe.

Mr CardPlayerBJ - Morning, thank you for your undying support, I am actually at right next to Rolf Slotboom. Jen next to Isabelle? It's not a problem to Jen, it's really not. I expect Isa to try & pinch Jen's blinds, but I am afraid Jen is tougher than most players think, & it might get dirty, but Jen is in great heart, & she will enjoy it win or lose. We have a pic of Jen & Isabelle, sat next to each other, ready to go up shortly. The Big Dicks on Jen's table yesterday kept looking at the diminutive Jen & trying to steal pots off her, & she handled them all with aplomb, on one occasion calling a big River bet with bottom pair!

The Alpha draw? It's cool, just this once, there is not a problem. Quite interesting, actually.

LOL

i make jen on 119 points after she wins this with the heads up to come meaning as long as john doesnt win both heads up matches she will win

We have, in short order, lost 7 players, so down to 93 already. But none of our ships are missing, except Burnley John.

Roy Brindley is on the TV Table.

That someone was me...

Thank you Tikay...

Right off to buy a new hoodie at luch doresnt have the same effect online though.

This is a caption contest if ever I saw one.

I have been informed by Mr Raad that Stuart Nash is now on 60k. Here's the fella pre-chip accumulation.

Does Nash remind you of anyone? It's been bugging me all week. At first I thought it was David Dickinson, but I've changed my mind. Not orange enough I guess. Can any1 help me out?



[attachment deleted by admin]

slyopp has taken some GREAT pics, trust me. Jen & Isa having a ball, Thewy ( a LOVELY pic), Stuart Nash, Royal Flush, John Hewston, Peter Roche, and the Chip Leader, Mr Douieb, who is a MOST interesting character, who plays many of the really big events. Middle aged, Baseball cap always on backwards, great, GREAT character. I must tell you now, life has not always been a bed of roses for him, he's a very small man, physically, but he has a huge heart, he truly has.

Ronnie Biggs?  ;scarymoment;

<img src="http://www.piczs.com/is.php?i=23504&img=Biggs" border="0">

Here's our chip leader Jerome Douieb who has been wrongfully named Douteb throughout the week. I think the latter is more pronouncable anyhow.

hey poony!
what are the blinds now? and how many players are they playing down to today?

And here's Blondeite KP Nuts (A.K.A. Ken Powell) fully kitted out in all the 'Antes Up' gear. See boys, I'd told you I'd get you a mention.





[attachment deleted by admin]

Betfair qualifier Robert Price is out. He moved all in with A4 and found himself up against A5. Split pot seemed likely, but three fives fell to give his oppo quad fives. He left pretty sharply.

Blinds = 800/1600 (150)
... for 7 more minutes

At the risk of being slightly offensive...........the chap from Ghost?

Thanks for the Jen & Isabelle pic, Snoops! My caption:

"Jennifer Mason (left) watches as Isabelle Mercier studies her chip stack before reraising all in on the river. Mercier would eliminate two players on this hand when her {Jd-10d} made a full house on a board of {Qs-10s-10h-9h-Js}. Her opponents held {Ah-Kh} for the ace-high straight and {As-9s} for the ace-high flush -- Mercier eliminated both players on this hand. Amazingly, Mason eliminated two others on the following hand, when her {9h-7h} made a ten-high straight on a board of {Ac-10h-8h-3d-6d}. Play stopped at Table #16 for several minutes until new victims could fill those seats, giving Ms. Mercier and Ms. Mason enough time to stack their chips and determine which of them was the new chip leader."

Im rooting for 2 players today.

James dempsey- for all the effort he puts into poker, analysing and improving his game all the time.

Roy the boy-  for being a class act in the commentary box and a good craic in the bar..  Go on lads

Goooo Kp :):)  Good luck to KBP and Jen also...

any news on micky w guys ?

paul parler and martin green

A few chippy counts for you guys to enjoy:

O'Callaghan -- 29k
Vaswani -- 60k
Tann -- 47k
KP Nuts -- 32k
Wernick -- 37k
Boatman -- 29k
Jen -- 60k
Hewston --113k (!)

In fact, I thought John Hewston had taken a hit when I saw him sitting down with 20k and a slight grimace on his face. I was about to run back and report the hilarious (cough) pun, 'Hewston, we have a problem!',  but then I saw his enterage of casino staff carrying over the rest of his 93k.

86 remaining

Down notts tonight we have scrapped random draw for youngest first draw.

Tikay you are sat next to old father time...thought that was quite generous of the card room manager

You know when you're trying really hard to smile for the camera but it comes out forced...



[attachment deleted by admin]

He looks very protective about his stack ... :)

chip count for foxy please snoops

Ram Vaswani has just won a massive 80k pot off a Mr Torbey in seat 1.

Torbey looked furious and banged the table when he realsied that his stack was to drop right down to 15k.

The reason?

Flop = Aspades 6h 3h

Torbey = Ahrt Kc    Vaswani = 3d 3c

Not a happy chappy at all.

When does the money kick in? .... How many places get paid?

Cardplayer - that's not a Caption, that's a Novel!

Micky W has had a little setback, he has about 35k, but he can grind with a lot less than that if he has to. Last night, with 55k, he said that was too many!

John Hewston is goling erll, he has a wall of chips, about 100k I guess.

But the story of the day so far is Brit Jeff Sharpe - anyone know this guy? He begun the day with 59k, & has 145k now, after a flush v flush clash, he had the J flush, Matey Boy had the 9 flush.

Jen has moved tables, & she is sitting quiet, after not playing a hand on her first table. On her new table, she recognized th BB from her starting table yesterday, &, wanting to play a hand to defray "rock" image, she Raised it up with K-6, but he called, oops. Flop was Q-9-2, two Hearts, BB checked, Jen bet 10k, he passed, & Jen heaved a sigh of relief. Image intact.....

Isabelle is fuming after her J-J was busted by Simon Zach's K-J, when Simon flopped two K's! Isa NOT happy......

snoops here.

Flushy is down to 18k

Here's Mr Martin Green looking very serious. Not sure why, he's only playing for 480k. Peanuts!



[attachment deleted by admin]

Isabelle seems to inevitably get bad beats like that -- hopefully her chip stack will let her weather this blow and continue playing good, aggressive poker.

Make that 28k now for Flushy  ;goodvevil;

Ram Vaswani is on 240k.

He eliminated 2 players in one hand.

A-K v A-7 v 8-8 on a flop of 4-4-2-K-A

Blimey. Stick your house on Ram folks. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge chip leader.

My caption for the Jen and Isa snap.

"Police in Deauville continue their hunt for the joker who has been gluing women's hands to their faces."

Stuart Fox has 120k, & is motoring.

Ram Vaswani has well over 240k.

And what aboit THIS....

John Hewston makes it 11k to go in early position.

BB promptly says "all-in" with 70k, John beats him into the pot. BB confidently turns over A-Q, John Hewston turns over A-A, & it's good enough to rocket Hewston into space orbit with 200k+.

Willie Tann is in full talk mode. There is a R, & a call, so Wille calls too. "Im a voyuer, I pay to watch".......

How about this for a name?

R. Tykoczikosky

eeek  :o

Fortunately, I believe he was one of the chaps taken out by Ram. The other was Torbey.

I don't mind rooting a bit for Ram too. He and the other Hendon Mobsters are quite popular here in the States ... it'd be nice to see him at the Final Table as well.

John Hewston is chip leader with 260k

ram is blessed!

i presume the A-7 pushed all-in as did the 8-8 behind him only to find ram in the BB with AK - hard to see how else they could have all got their monies in otherwise on that board

Brian Hansen is OUT.

Eliminated by Swedieboy, queens v kings.

Board = 7h Jd 7s 9s Th

There's a long way to go but he's standing in good position to make it now!

Paul Parker -- 20k
KP Nuts -- 20k
Wernick -- 33k
Flushy -- 28k
Jen -- 45k


The most remarkable thing about today is that we haven't hear much vocal action from Paul Parker. Incredible!

You tell me the French who play. Thank you for this update and sorry of my english.

Zalbini, what a beautiful avatar!

You too are a lucky man.



Great works guys. With some of the names playing well today the final table could be fireworks!

The hand after zach takes a nice pile from isa with a misstimed resteal he has TT and flat calls her raise. He flops quad tens and isa unfortunately pays the 10k milk bet on the river again with another big hand. Split loyalties for me obviously but there are no friends in poker. Leave each other alone now for gawds sake and take everyone elses chips between you lol.

How is Stuart Nash doing guys ?

Ross Boatman is OUT.

Not sure of the hand details, but he's in the middle of an interview with the PokerStar's lass.

Yes Tikay plays as Sharp Shooter on Betfair....



He finished 5th in StKitts ans was at my table....   Nice lad.

PokerStar's lass any good snoops

We want a piccy!! ;tk;

Englishmen Julian Gardner and Ryan Fronda are both OUT.

The assassin? The man in the piccy... Theo Jorgensen.

The hand?

Gardner = Ks Qd

Fronda = As 8c

Jorgensen = Js Ts

All the chips went in on a flop of Qs 5s Jd

Turn = 7d

River = 3s



[attachment deleted by admin]

Gutshot are saying Thewy is out, is there any truth in this horrible rumour, he seemed to have a heavy stack....

Jerome Zerbib has taken out Marc Naalden and earnt me a sweet 10 Euros off Rolf Slotboom. Wooooo. The drinks are on me.

Tc Td v Aspades 9h

6c 7c 7d 6d Jd


I've got another bet with Flushy that Jen will outlast Foxy. Could be a 20 Euro profit today. Then I'll be cracking open the Don Perigone.

Thewy out? Don't be absurd, there are still over 60 players left.

I am out.

Was down to 27k, posted the BB 2k.

UTG bit of a fish, has limped lots of hands and is on a slow decline, limps UTG. All fold to the SB who is half decent player, he limps.

With 7.4k in the middle i am pushing in with a wider range of hands here, i look down to see an Ace, bonus! A5 sooooted i push in, the UTG dwells for a while and calls the 25k with a player still to act, at this point i am thinking 'oops'

SB passed the UTG had 66.....genious player clearly. We both hit and now i am on the rail, in, ironically, 66th.

Sounds like maybe they got the two Julian's confused!!

Phew that is good news, go on the yoyo

hi all, gl to all the brits,great updates yet again,thn q all, any news on carlo citrone, had a little wager to get to final on the brown bomber,lol  thnx

snoops,

wish julian good luck for me.

cheers mate.

I hope Isabelle doesn't let these big beats get to her. Thankfully, she's taken two and she's still alive and kicking. She needs more best hands, and fewer second-best hands ...

Fellow Midlander Stuart Fox.



[attachment deleted by admin]

correction on the isa/zach spat..she didnt pay him off with the quads and still has a healthy stack. She now realises hes from Blackpool and is one of my mates "I don't like Blackpool" was apparently the comment, something to do with a fish who couldn't pass his baby flush (ooops). She will have a huge stack by the end of the day and make a real run at the final, don't anyone doubt it.

And now for one of the chip leaders...

I never mind when Ram has chips because he stacks them in nice easy-to-count stacks. What a star.

Julian. Tidy your chips up!







[attachment deleted by admin]

O'Callaghan has just doubled up off Van Der Bourg.

The Irishman made a move with 7-5 only to run into A-9

Board = 9-8-Q-Q-6

ooooooooooooh

There was a big cheer from the Irish contingent in the press room. Aaaah well, it's nice for them to have someone support this time. Not one Irishman enetered the Scandinavian Open.

Paul Parker trying to work out how he's going to drink and talk at the same time.



[attachment deleted by admin]

It must be very noisy there with the hardboard tables!

To paraphrase Mark Twain, I'm so pleased that rumors of Isabelle's fall were greatly exaggerated.  :)

Go Isa & Jen! (Especially now that you're at different tables -- I don't want you facing each other again until the FINAL table.)

Just logged on, HELLO ALL :hello:.... right then i'm off to find page 1.... see y'all in about an hour!

Martin Green -- 95k
Marc Goodwin -- 85k
Bambos -- 55k
Micky Wernick -- 28k
Roy Brindley -- 42k
Jen -- 70k
Foxy -- 61k
Stuart Nash -- 20k
Willie Tann -- 57k
Julian Thew -- 63k

Paul Parker is OUT.

Qh 6h v 2s 2c

All-in preflop.

Jen has now been moved and is seated to Mickey's right. She has 71k to Mickey's 25K.  To Mickey's left is Bambos and also on the table is Roy Brindley.

Mickey pulled Roy up for saying sorry to someone he knocked out when holding Ace rag and hitting his ace on the turn versus the victim's pocket queens. Jen is now in his vacated seat.

The fact they also have a small slice of his action in this game may have coloured their response somewhat too!!! :D Either way go Dave!!

Dave O'Callaghan is OUT.

5-5 v Ram's A-8

Noo!!!!!!!

Awight Raaby, its Daren from the Square here, keep up the awesome reports

Come on Micky the Legend, my respect has tripled after he told Roy off, nothing worse than an insincere 'sorry'. By the way where the heck has Brindley been anyway, I havent heard him in a single report until now...

The Paul Parker exit had a bit of a twist to it.

One guy had a king exposed and his replacement card was a seven, so he held Kh 7h instead of pocket kings. He had said that he would have pushed with K7 anyway, but decided not to, due to the exposed king.  Had he pushed with either hand Paul would not have made a move with his queen six.  So, the short version of the obviously long description Paul told me was that but for the exposed card, he'd still be in the tournament. Bad luck Paul, but at least you've got another story to add to your repetoire.

How many left in the comp please.

Mr Cool looking er... cool.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Morning all..

 what is the average stack right now ? and the blinds please....seems like people are moving all-in with a whole bunch of Junk

I know that Tikay et al are not keen on copying stuff from other boards but, this is so news worthy. It is quite incredible:

Marc Goodwin : We've just had a hand that we were told had to be capped on three raises! One guy bets two, the next two-two, the next two-two-two and the next guy can only call. It's no limit! We asked for a ruling, I said that's not right, and she said those are IPF rules. We were all laughing and told her to get the official ruling but she said it stands. I can't believe it! I've been playing for 23 years and never heard of it! It's f***ing rediculous! It's no limit!

''What if you look down and find a hand and you've only got 7,000 left? You're thinking 'great, i can get in here', but you're told you can only cap it. It's rediculous.''

To be fair, I know Tikay says if we paste anything from here on other site, say it is from Blonde so, I need to say I took it from Gutshot. I guess I can also say, i prefer this board by far, lol!!  It was just so big I had to put it on here...

51

CIMG1952mod.JPG

Looks like that time of the month :) or

Proof that if women spend lot's of time together they start having their menstrual cycles at the same time.  :o

I saw this exchange as well but had other things to report, but I will add that I overheard the tournament director chappie (the one with the beard) aplogising afterwards for what was, as we all know a bizarelly incorrect ruling.

In addition to my previous post, the following was later added...

The word from Thomas Kremser is that the capped raise ruling was incorrect  - ''not in no limit''

Marc Goodwin: ''He came over and apologised - I was gobsmacked, wasn't I!?''

wow, what a comp, good luck to Jen, Mr Cool, Julian, all the blondites still in, I have just arrived in LA and it will be my turn to give a good report as soon as I can have a great day on the felt. GREAT undates 8)

Tell Julian I have nominated him as the celebrity "table captain"

 JUST WIN BABY, JUST WIN

Mickey Wernick the first of Wolverhampton has just doubled up!!

Krill Gerasimov -- 28k
Jen Mason -- 72.2k
Roy Brindley -- 43k
John Hewston -- 290k
Stuart Fox -- 151k
Martin Green -- 147k
Julian Thew -- 65k
Willie Tann -- 75k

Mickey got it all in with Ks Qs and came up against the very same Boy Brindley holding Td Tc

spades on the turn and river gave Mickey the pot. There were no apologies.

He is up to about 75k now.

the blinds have gone up to 2000/4000, with a 400 running ante.

Julians' stack seems unusually static. Can someone nudge him to make sure he is awake. He was never like this before he used to dress like "Dr Who"....

Hi Daren, thanks. Will keep em coming.  I need some food badly though.

The "Only Three Raises" rule in no-limit also showed up at the Bicycle Casino in late August -- a World Poker Tour event. It was a casino-specific rule at the Bicycle, and they normally enforced it in their local tournaments. But with the traveling pros there for the WPT, it caused a bit of a stink. (The rule was the same as the one mentioned here.)

Most players still hope for the day when poker can have a truly uniform set of rules -- even including things like "F-Bomb" penalties. (And NOBODY seems to like that rule!) But to this point, the rules up to the televised final tables are dictated by the local casinos, rather than the World Poker Tour. (Or, it appears, the European Poker Tour.)

Edit -- The World Series of Poker events (including the year-round circuit events) are much more uniform, because everything has been "centralized" by Harrah's, with traveling tournament staff. Unfortunately, they're the ones with the "F-Bomb" rule.

Oh, and for those who aren't aware, last year's WSOP Tournament Director Johnny Grooms will NOT be returning this year. Without going into the gory details, he has parted ways with Harrah's, and those of us in the media firmly support Mr. Grooms, who is one of the best in the business.

Hi - Does anyone have any idea of numbers left in?

The players are clearly enjoying today's poker festivites.

[attachment deleted by admin]

chip counts for the foxster and the thewster please snoopster              :)up

Play has slowed down here as the money approaches.

Jen assured me that she was going to go for it and not try and sneak into the money. She need not worry about creeping over that line though as she's sitting on a comfortable, if not groundbreaking, 70k.

Julian = 70k
Foxy = 104k

And Blue Square paid her in which relieves the pressure somewhat.

A storming run to the final certainly sounds better than squeeking into the cash!!

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Jen!!

Finally caught up to speed only to have to go out again.

thought i'd help out a little before i go

Best of Luck to the Yo-Yo


and Tikay... Mrs Nightfly sends her love


looking forward to catching up again in a couple of hours!

Only 2 to go.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Jen!!!  ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader; ;cheerleader;

Go jen xxxxxxx

Yes, that would be an interesting table to watch, but imagine how hard it would be to seat alphabetically the Nguyen family. I believe there's something like 58 from the family playing and at least couple of them share the same 1st l...

jamier,  I am sure you meant to say Blue Sq, had The pleasure of buying Jen in. She has definatly transformed into a tremendous player over the last six months needless to say that Tikay has been influential in Jen's Transformation Good Luck Jen Today

Very Good Luck to you Jen......




PS Snoops .. make sure she has a good meal inside her at the break..

Okey dokey.

Din din time.

And guess what, with 40 being paid, we have 41 left going into tea time.

Eeeeeeek

We'll be back in an hour as tikay, Julian, Jen, and myself are heading off for a pizza and a bit of a breather.

Please feel free to entertain yourselves for an hour. (no gag here pls Kev)


L8ers. C u in 60 mins.

snoops snoopy

Theres always a "GAG" invoved in my entertainment :)

Q: How many Tottenham fans does it take to change a lightbulb?







A: None, they're all happy living in the shadows…

Hi all.

Snoops here again.

There's been a change of plan.

Thomas Kremser and his team have decided to keep going until the bubble exits.

Guess that pizza will have to wait.

BAD NEWS ALL

Jen is OUT

She's hit the bubble and is out in 41st.

I can only salute her bravery and say how proud we all are of her.

I haven't spoken to her yet, but she must be gutted.

There was a big crowd gathered around her table when I approached. As soon as I saw Julian and tikay looking on anxiously, I knew we were in trouble.

Jen was up again pocket jacks with big slick, Ad Kd.

No help came and she's gone.

... but it's credit to her that she refused to stagger over the money line and had enough heart (and balls?) to take a shot at the life changing money.

 :respect:

Now it's definitely the dinner break.

I think we all need the hour to recover, especially Jen.

 ;tightend;

Bl Jen :(

very well played and definately one for the future ;)

Well played Jen xxxx

Noooo!

I'm very sorry to hear that Jen has been eliminated, but I'm pleased that she was playing to win. She still gains respect in my book.  :)

Snoop at first I thought you were joking, I now feel physically sick.


Well done Jen you did blonde proud.

Unlucky Jen. :(

Still a star in the making though.  :)up

Correction. She ran into pocket queens, not jacks.

Chip leader John Hewston was the man who eliminated her.

I feel like I've just been kicked in the nads :(    bad luck Jen, I know it will be scant consolation, but you have earnt so much respect and the future is bright for you xxx

 Gutted for her. :(.......very very unluckly .


...but Skippys right....you did Blonde  proud.

Which git decided to delay dinner break until bubble . Why couldnt they head for food at due time with 41 left

Although hopefully trend of WSOP is followed (ie bubble gets paid entry into next years event) :)

"felt like ive been kicked in the nuts" - Well whoever said that, its exactly how i feel :(

VVVVWD JEN.

And as someone already said, you are a star in the making, and soooo pleased u didnt decide to "limp" into the money.

You will be in the same situation I am sure, this time your 50 50 will pay off.

Great stuff Jen - my utmost admiration..................................

Unlucky Jen.

Played the right way though.

Sandy

what he said............very well played jen

I am also sick, but cant blame her for having a go , not a lot you can do about that- very very well played Jen your a   *g :)up

Well done Jen.Im gutted for you.

Unlucky, oh but for a king or ace.
better luck next time.
 :)up

Well played and unlucky.  Jen is a great writer and clearly a 'proper' poker player.

Well played Jen, great effort!!

such tough luck Jen, but a supurb performance.

Massive respect for going for it when many would have crawled past the line.
Classy lady :)

 :respect: :respect: :respect: :respect: :respect:JEN ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;
Top of the women players for me, you played so well 8)

Indeed!!

I wonder how many of us would of taken on the chip leader , when holding AK on the bubble of an EPT event?!?   :respect:

You have got to admire the way she's played it. Top stuff Jen.

I also had a pain, as i read Thomas decides to wait for the bubble...........then the very next post, unbelievable, and such bad luck Jen.She's come a long way since her Oxford uni poker soc days.

Put it down to agression,but its a tough call at bubble time with her stack...........Ok I'm gonna say it "should have waited for the bubble"

 ;scarymoment;

well done jen, it is better to have gone down fighting than to gone out limping,if that makes sence well done

Really Unlucky Jen, my hearts goes out to you kid i know how much it meant but, you got play premium hands at whatever stage of a tournament you are especially if you want to win and against John Hewston you cant pass a hand like that. Keep positive and knocking on the door Your time will COME.
Lots of Love
Simon Nowab

Well done Jen massive respect.......

Really feel for you...

mudder, is v.v. sad, but oh so proud of you my girlie.  I shall ever more be pleased to say my oxford grad daughter is a poker player - you gotta know iza terrifically impressed...
mum

Nice on Jen's Mum  :respect: ;applause;

Just caught up again.

I felt like crying when I read that.

Bloody stinking unlucky Jen.

Sodding game!

I feel like the wind has been knocked out of my sails,
so God knows how Jen is feeling..

I hope they take her for a stiff drink and slap up meal.

T
xx

Oooooooh Jon whilst I think about it:

Any decision on your diamond dilemma?

My thoughts on the matter are that just because you get engaged,
there is nothing to say you have to run up the aisle a few weeks/months
later.

Concentrate on her and the baby, you will both know when the time is right
to set a date.

Trace
xx

I feel for Jen, she has done Blonde, Blue Square and herself very proud.  I still haven't seen her since the exit, having decided to go get a bite to eat just beforehand (mainly to avoid the bubble situation - its the one time I don't really want to be around).

Trace, no decision yet, but I'm in no hurry.

They've resumed play now and Mickey has been moved to a table with Willie Tann, Julian Thew and Peter Roche.  The press are no now longer allowed to mingle amongst the tables, but luckily Mickey is seated next to the rail, so I'll be keeping a watchful eye on the proceedings.

Once a again, Jen, you did great!!

Hi guys, I'm back. Still absolutely gutted for Jen.

We just ate tea at some nice pizza place across the road. She'c clearly disappointed but still in high spirits. Incredible really, but sh'es not letting it get her down.

Anyhow, back to the comp. We've still got the likes of Julian and Micky fighting away, so we've got to carry on the smashing support that has been thrown their way thus far.


A few chip counts courtesy of Ben, who is looking slightly better today, but still coughing and spluttering.

Willie Tann -- 60k
Julian Thew -- 125k
Micky Wernick -- 75k
Jeff Sharpe -- 187k
Emile Petit -- 110k
Henrick Olander -- 35k
Martin Green -- 138k
Stuart Fox -- 110k
Roy Brindley -- 140k

Bit deflated, but I'll do my best to keep you updated.

Indeedy , onwards and upwards

Good luck everyone left in

Isabelle Mericer has doubled through courtesy of Roy 'The Boy' Brindley.

The hands were K-T and Q-9, with Isa hitting Broadway on the turn.


Other news from the Irish contingent is that Peter Roche is playing an ultra agressive game and has just forced mateyboy to pass after another all-in reraise.

Shortstack Roy Brindley is OUT.

AJ, any chance of a Unusual Suspects score count, I suspect it's looking close... :)

If roy the boy was on 140k before he doubled isa up and was then declared a short stack I assume that means isa is up near the 200k mark?

How many times have you been relegated in the last 50 years?

I'm sorry to see Roy go, but ECSTATIC to see Isabelle catching back up to the chip leaders.  :)

Now that Jen has been cruelly eliminated on the bubble, all of my good thoughts are headed Isabelle's way.

As Simon Nowab said ' Your time will come'

Scores on the doors so far:

109 John
107 Jen
105 James

There is still 4 HU games to play, where each player has to play each other player. 5 points for each win.

WELL DONE JEN!!

Good tournament unlucky in a race.. You'll be fine :)

Now have your drink get over it... and kick those 2 boys bums in the Blue Square HUs and claim your Unusual Suspects Prize!

(GL to you 2 flushy but i gottsta go with Jen on this one )

Xavier Laszcz is OUT resulting in the T.V. table being a man day.

9-7 on big blind with a 9 high flop. Ram hit the flush draw.

Hey TK, Snoops, and other blonde coverers...great job on the coverage so far.

Any chance of getting some side coverage of the JenM, flushy, and JohnB HU matches please?

Thanks Ginger, I hope James isn't feeling too bad about his exit earlier. :)

Micky Wernick has doubled up.

8-8 v J-J

Board gave him runner runner for a flush draw.

Pheeeeeeeeew

120k pot

And here's the hand it's all the glory.



[attachment deleted by admin]

if those scores are correct ginger what a finish to the unusual suspects league. Any player who can win both their heads up matches is through. If they win one match each john is through. I suggest a little deal making be done between the 3 of them as its an awful big prize to come down to a coin flip or whatever....maybe bluesquare could do the decent thing and take all 3 of them to monte carlo with the losing 2 playing in the 1000 event or something??  

Hi Mad Yank.

Many thx. It's been a great week, but I can't put into words how deflated we all are over what happened to Jen.

But the show must go on.

Regarding the heads up matches, I'm not sure these are going ahead tonight due to players getting so far. If anything happens, we'll let you know. It's still anybody's game.

Stoops, you're doing fantastic! Keep it coming.  ;applause;

Whilst most of us spent tea filling our stomachs, I think there were those who hit the bar.

A suspect perhaps?



[attachment deleted by admin]

snoops is alrightjack jonathan from bs quare m8 event promoter ?????? :blonde:

UL Jen next time

yes

a bit of blue fut Dads.

Jeff Sharpe

The last 3 photographs are the handiwork of Sunday8pm who has joined us for the evening session.

Mr Yoyo of Yoyoness is on the TV table with 160k in chips.

I'm off to have a quick butchers.

thnx ironside i thought he had more hair in real life lol only joking jhon its james fisher m8 from cardiff lol ,,,you look better live  ;tk;

having railbirded Jen in helsinki, i know how well she plays against the big stacks. She never shows fear and has an uncanny ability to read the better players. People think they can bully Jen but she will always come straight back at ya!

I suspect she smelt the pizza and her subconcious self put her out of the tourney, if theres one thing Jen loves more than poker is dinner time!

3000/6000 (600)
7 minutes til the next level
32 players left

Great reporting as always guys...........any chance of chip counts and money finishers who are out please.

Is Marc G still in? Not seen his name for a while - if he's in, how cool is he looking?

Who's still playing?

Fougeron is OUT.

Julian Thew
Micky Wernick
Ram Vaswani
Isabelle Mercier
Jerome Douieb
Krill Gerasimov

... amongst others.

Hi James, yes, tis me. I've been follically challenged since I was about 21 though, so I've no insecurities about that, but I must do something about my ever growing gut and double chin...

On the heads up front, it would not be fair to put the remaining trio through a series of very imprtant heads up matches after such an exhausting few days for them, so it has been decided to put them on hold.  I still need to agree it with Grosvenor but the likely venue for them will be Walsall, during the Midlands Medley in a couple of weeks time.

I think a better location would be monte carlo the day before the main event jonathan ;) just imagine the publicity there

hows willie doing? any movement up or down on 60k?

You may have heard his name mentioned once or twice. Perhaps, like me, you even mixed him up with the Arsenal midfielder.

Anyhow, here is Emile Petit... still going strong.

tikay informs me that Emile doubled up recently with KT v 33





[attachment deleted by admin]

jhon me old m8 ,i thought you might have logged off and not backtracked to see my rather unfunny post,lol i think you look great ,and just think you could have a gut like mine and 4 chins,so i think your doing ok.missed you in cardiff on the weekend m8 a few of the boys asked after you, martin done well 5th from short stack after day1, 15k on sunday at 3pm doubled up first hand,what a nice guy that simon is (bsq) still trying for my xxxl fleece lol see you at walsall m8 take care . :)up :)up :)up

Sir Micky, and er... some babylons.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Jens Ogsater is also OUT.

????? what happened there looked like he was going strong?

Hi Guys,

I've been offline for a few hours, da de da de da, & was on the rail sweating Jen when John Hewston bust her. He had JJ the previous hand, then found QQ. Still, good luck to him.
 
We - Jen, Thewy, snoppy & myself had dinner across the road, & when I went to pay the bill, I found that Paul Barnes, the CEO of All-In Poker, had treated us. Thanks Paul.

Jen is fine, honestly, & she never had even a monents hesitation about calling the all-in RR by John, she wanted a double up, & inching into the money had not crossed her mind. Boy of boy, she has won an army of admirers recently. She will be up here in the Media Centre shortly, I've slipped her my Press Pass.

A few of you might like to say Hi to the layest blonde Member, one PapaYoyo - he's a proud Father, & you can guess  who his Son is. Lives in Dublin, & a great guy.

PapaYoYo and little Liz send greetings to miniYoYo from Clane. Someone disappeared off to find out how he was doing some time ago. Any news? Tell him we're rooting for him even though we barely understand what's going on

Ram Vaswani -- 190k
Micky Wernick -- 140k
Stuart Nash -- 160k

It would get lost in the EPT publicity I fear, but nice suggestion Russ.

Thewy in action, Paul Short Stack has  Ad 4d and Julian calls him with  Jc 4h.

Flop is  Kd Qd 7c, turn  2s, leaving Julian with just 2 outs. Guess what the River was......

Another man experiences the Thewy Steamroller, & our Man adds a handy 30k to his growing stack. He was quiet all afternoon, "waiting for the rush" as he put it, well, the rush has arrived.

Hi Dad & Liz, don't worry, Julian does not understand whats going on either, but he's amongst the World's Poker Elite, believe me. Hope you are keeping well, & I look forward to dinner with you both again soon.

Thanks for the welcome TiKay. Look forward to seeing you again in Dublin. We'll even try to find some food for you without vegetation. I think I may have understood that last YoYo hand. Scarey!

26 left
4000/8000 (800)

Goood to see jbsc7769 sweating the blondes, & Julian in particular. Simon (jbsc7769) & sister Justine used to hook up with myself & Thewy in Notts regularly, but now Simon lives, extravagantly, in Greece, & he's works for PokerStars. We miss you Simon, & i'm sure Justine misses me. A bit, anyway.

xx

snoops, the dealer next to His Holiness Wernick, is that Sarah, the Heads Up ringer at the Blonde bash?

Hi,

havent seen updates on the two danes, so I thought I just might post one from another site if you dont mind :-)

Theo Jørgensen is on 350 K
Ole Busborg has 160 K

John Hewston is OUT

He was massive chip leader not too long ago. I have no idea how he was eliminated. He seems to have made a sharp exit.

Hi PapaYoYo. Congratulations on your son being probably the most talented poker player I have had the privilege of playing / knowing. Even better than that, he is right up there with his partner in crime, Tikay, as being a genuinely top bloke. I will never forget the genorousity that he and Tikay showed to me on my first visit to the casino. And then the patience to teach me how to play!  I could not understand why these two guys were trying to help me. They didnt know me from Adam. (it still feels like that if they ever get round to answer their bloody emails!)
It is them I have to thank for losing so much money!! ha ha, just joking, your boy done good!
Come on the YoYo...

NoFlops, sorry for taking so long to reply, a friend called and she certainly likes to talk!!

Yes, the end of the Unusual Suspects is going to be nail biting stuff, those scores are correct and as you say, anyone that wins 2 HU matches goes through. Fingers crossed for James as this I believe is his speciality.

Ariston, I agree totally, it seems so harsh that the winner takes all and the other 2 out of the final 3 walk away empty handed, the 1000 buy-in sounds a great idea to me lol.

Tikay/Snoops, has anyone seen James since his exit? He called straight after, but I've not been able to get in touch with him again.

Great updates once again guys!!  Good photo on pokerstarsblog.com:

(http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/images/2006Deauville/jen_mason.jpg)

Good evening peeps, im back from the brink of death i think and should be here until the end (touchwood).

Some Chip counts for you,

Julian Thew - 270k
Martin Green - 100k
Stuart Fox - 250k
Mickey Wernick - 145k
Emile Petit - 75k
Ram Vaswani - 250k

Ben

One & the same Robert, one & the same. Sarah runs, with her father, a card club in 'Brum, well worth a visit if you want some 24 hour action.

Julian takes a knock on the TV table.

He raises preflop, called by Jensen.

Flop = 5c Ts Ad

check, julian bets 40k, all-in, 50k more for Julian.

Julian assesses the sitation, then folds.

Must be down to around 210k.

I hadn't actually seen your post when I write that Tony! She says she does miss you and sends her love!
JT now on 270k ?!? Did i miss something. Awesome stuff....

Micky Wernick punches the air in delight as he eliminates a Scandieboy.

The old en's still showing the youngsters how it's done.

... except tikay of course.  ;hide;

Rupert, that is the very moment when Jen had called all-in, & we were watching the Board. And praying.....

Ginger - I saw Flushy 20 minutes ago, sitting in a $100 SNG. It must have only just started, as he was still in.

how many for isa please?

You waited all that time to use your line, then you forgot

Unlucky Jen, well played

Thanks Tikay  :-*

xx

Oops, sorry about the e-mails Simon, but you are not alone, I have, literally, thousands of them piling up in my inbox, & I just can't seem to get through them. Guess if I delete all the Spam it would help, but they really come in thick & fast, as do the PM's. Retirement? What retirement!

wow i've finally caught up...

fantastic stuff guys keep it up

SO ul Jen x x

GOOOOOO on THEWY!!!!!!!! 8) 8) 8)

Your Noted Noted Robert.

Have you been lending Jen your Jumpers?

I had noted the fashion statement. I suggest Blue Square invest in some arran cardigans with suitable logo.

The TV table has broken now, the TV peeps have been working flat out for over 2 hours this week, so they are on holiday now.

3 tables left from what we can see through the huge crowd of Railbirds, 24 runners I think, & 3 minutes left at the current Blind Levels of 4,000 - 8,000 with a 800 Running Ante.

How many left please?

Fashion Statement?

You wouldn't understand

24

Just caught up tonight what a rollercoaster

MArtin Green

All 3 are duue a big one !!!!!!!

Cheers

Gibbo

PS Please can you stop stu when he's had 10 pints. 11 moves him from agrressive to wreckless and 12 moves him into A5 off territory !!

I, like most was, sad to hear about jen... a fantastic performance.

Since hearing about it i kept thinking of the following quote from the film Coach Carter

Can't say why really, Maybe it's relevant maybe it's not

It feels like it is, so i tracked it down and here it is:


Coach Ken Carter: What is your deepest fear?
Timo Cruz: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Very Well played Jen

Snoops can u find out the exit hand details on John hewston, it must of been a massive pot

Er...

I was trying to take a snap of a player but somebody knocked my elbow.


[attachment deleted by admin]

Now for an exclusive.

Big TK undertaking some top notch tournament directing. And look at the lime green tie. Only Big TK could pull that one off.

Micky Wernick just shouted me from the side of the stage.

For a moment I thought he'd been knocked out.

Then I thought we were on a break.

Then I saw Micky's cigaette and realised that only Micky was on a break.

'Get back Micky!'


'2 tables left' according to Micky.

If they're starting to sneak players back in, do you think they will notice if James and Jen suddenly sit back down?? lol

16 players left...

Tyvm :)

Theo Jorgensen has knocked out the guy pictured bleow, Ole Busborg Jensen.

Martin Green is OUT.

Martin Green moved all-in on the button with A-9.

Unfortunately he found Ram with Kings.

11 left

7500/15000 (1500)

UL martin, top man and a good deep run

Pokerstars reports Foxy as OUT. Any truth here ?

If Stuart Fox is out, then they've forgotten to take his chips and escort him from his seat.

He has 90k after calling Micky's all-in with K-3.

Shortstacked Micky Wernick held pocket eights. No king arrived.

Cheers From the pokerstars page.

Nine have fallen from the list in the previous post. They're dropping quicker than I can type. The unlucky names are:

Julian Thew - Nottingham player tried to make queens beat aces. They didn't.
Lex Veldhuis - qualifier's big slick slipped into pocket kings
Jerome Douieb - overnight chip leader and PokerStars qualifier was last French player to be eliminated
Jerome Zerbib - penultimate Frenchman's two pair was not big enough
Stuart Fox - Englishman cunningly slipped away
Jeff Sharpe - tried to batter Ram with ace-jack. Ram calls with flush draw and hits

Ram has over 800k  :o :o :o

Stuart Fox is now OUT

He moved his short stack in with a very respectable hand, Ts Th.

Ram Vaswani called with Ac 8d

Board = 2d Js Qc Qs Jh

Has to hurt. Unlucky Stuart. A smashing effort.  ;applause; :respect:

Consider it done Mr F.

10 left here!

Micky Wernick still in there battling away - is there a better short stack player on the circuit? Blue Square have invested wisely.

ram is sure gonna be dangerous with all those chips

Here's Foxy pre-exit.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Is it now one table ?

Wow, been standing right there next to Mickey watching for the last wee while. Maybe its just me, but the atmosphere is tense but exciting. So close to the final table now. They are playing to nine tonight and will lose one tomorrow before the TV final starts.

A message from Mickey to all his well wishers on the forum:

let Isabelle know i've got the dinner on, its fish & chips, she can pop round when she's finished. LOL

lol ben.we shall be havings words later me and you

Great job guys - hope Jen is ok :(

Are you feeling better Ben?

Somewhere in there is the final table...



[attachment deleted by admin]

Isabelle Mercier has doubled up.

QQ v Gilbert's AK

She was ahead all the way, especially when she hit a straight on the river.

now please leave me alone and just give me updates for a bit...im trying to win the final on laddies

After barging through the crowd like a teenager at a Take That concert, I stumble across the final table.



[attachment deleted by admin]

Kirill doubles up off Boudewijn.

All-in preflop.

Kc Jc versus Ac 2d

Board = 3c Ks 7c Qc Qh

Russ whats Your name on laddies and which comp

If you're still wondering how John Hewston lost all those chips earlier on...

Kc Qs v Aspades Ahrt on a flop of  Ad Kd Qc

That lost him a large chunk, not sure about the rest. Will have to ask him next time I see him.

With all the randoms crowded round the final table like flies arond er... stuff, it's very tricky for me to keep going back and forth.

Therefore, I had a quick word with Tommy Kremser and he's agreed to jot down the hands as he's announcing them and personally bring them up to the press room. Good lad. It's going to be a pain for him to do it after every hand, but he reckons it's worth it and all the players have agreed to wait each time too.

Hold on, I think I hear his footsteps now...

Mats Iremark has doubled up Theo Jorgensen.

(Who?! Yes, I know... but don't forget Micky's still in there)

Ks Qc (Theo) versus 7s 7h (Mats)

Qh 2h 3d  Ahrt Jd

Any1 still alive?

Wow very amazing for the dude to bring the hands over.
Ask him to bring a bottle of water with him next time :D

Im still watchin ya snoops keep it coming dude

10 players remaining.
Blinds = 10,000/20,000
Ante = 2,000

Quick question for yalll in da know

When/How/WHy did Mickys name get changed from "The Worm" to "The Legend"?

I've told him that I'm a bit tired. He's agreed to the typing for me too.

What a star.  *g

Well, I believe we're back for the final tomorrow at 3pm.

8th --  €43,500

Kev cheers for the loyalty! If you remember the last time i played tikay HU you took 700 quid in the saver!

I'm both gutted and delighted for Mickey. Sure, its heart breaking to just miss out on the final table, but he's performed admirably well and has done us proud. Roll on the next event. It won't be long before he's lifting another trophy (unless I drop it first).

Here are the final chip counts:

(1) Ram Vaswani -- 1,191,500
(2) Isabelle Mercier -- 428,000
(3) Mark Boudewijn -- 911,500

(7) Theo Jorgensen -- 809,500
(8) Mats Iremark -- 397,000

Yeah but you had a massive chip lead ... this is off an even start... i want 10% of pops :)

Sorry I disappeared for a while -- meetings and such in the United States in the late afternoon.

Woo-hoo! Isabelle is in fourth chip position headed to the final table! Now I'm off to find a Euro-to-Dollar conversion web site. But I'll be back tomorrow to follow her to the winner's circle!

Jen -- You played your heart out the past two days and you should be very proud. You didn't finish in the money, but money will never be able to buy respect. You final tabled in that category.  :)

sorry Nemesis dont you mean Ledley King not Ram

Huh? :D

This HAS to be Mrs Merton?

You are dead.
