Title: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: snoopy1239 on September 13, 2006, 11:33:07 AM Hi, folks.
I'm currently at Gatwick airport taking advantage of some of today's modern technology... oh no, hold on, it's actually my dodgy vodafone card which would have been laughed at half a century ago. Anyhow, I'm with Mr Raab and Jen, who is lying across two seats in a desperate attempt to get an extra hour of rest (her body clock failed to adjust in time and she only managed 1 hour of beauty sleep last night). It hasn't been a great start to the venture with first the tube being delayed (the phrase 'tin of sardines' springs to mind), and now the ruddy plane, which is a stunning 90 minutes late (Bah, humbug!). This therefore means that it's going to be a complete rush job, with two skinny bodies legging it down foreign roads... but don't fret, we still intend to be at Casino Barcelona in time for the start, which, incidentally, is scheduled to be at 5pm. So, sit tight and enjoy a day of blonde updates - we'll try to make them as fun as we can! Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: snoopy1239 on September 13, 2006, 07:08:46 PM We've arrived and will commence our updates from here on in.
Apologies for the unexpected delay. Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: snoopy1239 on September 13, 2006, 07:26:06 PM Spotted a few players still at the felt:
Rory Mathews Ulriksen JP Kelly Doc (from Walsall) Martin Wendt Peter Smythe Torstein Iversen Luca Pagano James Arkenhead Johnny Lodden Nick Gibson Julian Thew Jeff Buffenbarger Christer Johnanssen (please excuse any incorrect spellings) Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: snoopy1239 on September 13, 2006, 07:39:42 PM JP Kelly -- 4,550
Peter Smythe -- 10,500 Tony Chessa -- 8,400 Ulriksen -- 28,500 Martin Wendt -- 13,200 Julian Thew -- 9,525 Jeff Buffenbarger -- 3,225 Luca Pagano -- 10,425 Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 13, 2006, 08:08:46 PM We thought the field looked a little small, and it's because half of them are on a dinner break right now, with the other half swapping over in a few minutes. So here are some stories from Half One:
Mainly Nottingham Nick Gibson has been involved in a bit of controversy - as he says, when I ask him if he has any tales, "Yes, two awesome ones!" In level two he bluffed all in for his last 4k on the river with a missed flush draw (the pot was a tasty size). His opponent, who'd actually been on just middle pair until he two-paired the river, called. Gwibbo showed King high - his opponent mucked his hand! :dontask: Then, as the table gave each other funny looks, opponent took his hand back and called the floor for a ruling - harsh but fair, Nick took that pot down. A little later, a bizarre dealer move gave all the chips at the end of a big pot (stacks included) to Nick's losing two pair (the Other Guy had a straight). More floor calling confusion, and Nick's down to 3,600. But still in. Amazingly. Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 13, 2006, 08:10:44 PM Recent counts, taking into account the JP treble up just now:
Martin Wendt 13,700 Julian Thew 9,900 Gwibbo 3,800 JP Kelly 10,600 Karl Mahrenholz 12,800 Richard Redmond 17,000 Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 13, 2006, 08:13:08 PM I passed Julian Thew when on the button, and involved in a hand. The board stood at 2c Th 4d 6s. His one Matey had checked to him; he bet 1,400 into the 2,600 pot. After a good think, Matey moved in for his short stack (can't have been more than 2kish). Julian called with his Ac Kh.
Matey showed 9h 9d - it was good, Julian's down to under 8k... Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 13, 2006, 08:16:56 PM OK, are you ready for a really long list? Sure, what could be more fascinating? "Nothing!" I hear you cry:

Roland shows: Ahrt Kc His opponent: Ad Ac This looks very familiar - I seem to remember almost exactly the same situation taking Roland out of the EPT Baden... This time he has his opponent well covered, and it looks like he may have an escape route via a three-club board on the turn - but no cigar. The photos (pics on interactive thread only, sadly) are 1) A slightly disappointed Roland, with a truly amazing hat on 2) Roland's hand, which was meant to be artistic but is actually disappointingly blurry 3) His opponent, and doubler-upper. Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 13, 2006, 10:29:39 PM Enough messing around! More chip counts:
Jeff Buffenbarger 5,200 Tony Chessa 20,200 Johnny Lodden 24,000 Torstein Iversen 10,000 Two tables are currently hosting cash games, which I never seem to learn not to hover round and count people's chips, which they quite rightly find irritating. Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: snoopy1239 on September 13, 2006, 10:40:42 PM Stephen Pearce limps for 300, MB moves all-in for 3,850, Pearce calls.
2-2 vs A-3o Board = 6-T-5-5-2 giving Pearce the boat. Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 13, 2006, 10:57:07 PM ************************************BREAK*****************************************
Caught up with Ben Grundy, who's a fairly short stack now and lamenting his seating on the right of Rob Hollink. Roland shares this position, which is making it awkward for the two of them to attack the four tighter players whom Ben says are to the left of Rob - now with too few chips to really raise and pass to a re-raise, he looks a little frustrated. Still in, though, unlike many. I'd estimate a quarter of players are now playing cash or in the bar. Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 13, 2006, 11:03:43 PM Chip Leader - Les Kerrigan - 40,000
Following closely (and maintaining that if he hadn't just lost a pot before the break, he'd be in front) - Thomas Wahlroos - 36,500 Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: snoopy1239 on September 13, 2006, 11:05:49 PM Ian Woodley has just doubled up
Flop = Ahrt 2d 9h Woodley bets, MB calls. Turn = Kh MB bets, Woodley makes it 6k, MB moves all-in, Woodley calls for his last 3k. A-A vs 9-9 A blank on the River and Woodley is up to 25k. Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 13, 2006, 11:10:42 PM Jonny 'Texas' Hewston disappeared a little ways before we made our breathless arrival - now Jon brings us some rather startling news: it appears that in Texas' final hand, he wasn't actually cleaned out of chips, but got up and walked off before seeing that he still had 1,000...that little stack has now been blinded off.

Mateygirl moved in for 6k with T-T. Foxy called with A-A. Ten on board. Ivey then finished him off. Meanwhile, Roland De Wolfe is up to around 35k after first suriving an all-in with the bare Ace on an all hearted flop, and then having his flopped straight (5-6s on a 9-8-7 board) paid off by Mateyboy's Pocket Ladies. Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 14, 2006, 12:04:41 AM Some counts, then, as they dwindle to just 152(!)

Sjavik folds after a lenghty dwell. He just can't sit still can he? Literally moments earlier, he took on a button raiser from the big blind. The flop came: 6d 5d 9s. Nick checked, the button bet 1,300, and Nick raised to 3,500. A bit of a think later, and the Button moved in on him. Sitting with what I call 'statue arms' he waited to see if Gwibbo would call, and he took his time, getting the pot and raise separated and thinking about the extra 12,875 precisely to him. After counting it out of his stack, he passed - BA Kildalen made a brave effort to get the re-raiser to show his hand, "for the cameras!" before they moved on.

He's up to a moderate 14,000, but not going nuts at this stage, exhibiting a quiet solidity not usually attributed to him... despite the lack of recklessness, when he started raising every hand (albeit with AA then AA then AK) he only took down the raise in front of him each time, without coaxing anyone to gamble. He says only two hands near the beginning of the comp are all players have seen, so he must be as much a mystery as the players on either side of him, who he admits are pretty tidy. Photos coming...

A race with Ian Woodley. 5-5- vs A-Js Ian hit a fush draw on the flop, but it was the Ace on the River that finished Martin off. Fabrice Soulier is also OUT Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 14, 2006, 02:01:17 AM Double up for JP!
I noticed he had a bigger stack (well double the size) as he got moved next to Ian Woodley - it turns out that the Tilter on his other table did in fact end up doubling him up - he found Kc Ks on the big blind, Tilter raised to 1,800, JP made it 5,600 and gave the guy the 'weak stare-down' - eventually he pushed in with his Ad Td and the chips drifted JP-wards... Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: snoopy1239 on September 14, 2006, 02:20:26 AM Players are now on a ten minute break.
Blinds will be 400 and 800 with a running ante of 100. There are 108 players remaining. Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: snoopy1239 on September 14, 2006, 02:41:25 AM Barny Boatman is OUT.
J-4o vs 8-8 on a flop of Qh 7h 9d Turn = Kc River = 7d Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 14, 2006, 03:02:59 AM Everything seems to have sped up at this late stage (the blinds are 400/800 ante 100, and halfway through the level, which I reckon will be the last) -
Down to 85 players, and Table Roland just broke (Rob Hollink had exited a level previous). The chunky blinds are looking fairly dangerous to short stacks Julian (8,000) and Stephen Pearce (11,000) while some interesting new tablemates have appeared... Like Roland de Wolfe and JP, Johnny Lodden and Ian Woodley, Ben Grundy and Thomas Wahlroos... Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 14, 2006, 03:09:09 AM Les Kerrigan, chip leader for a good length of time, has now dropped to average, as some reasonable stacks clash creating one big stack and (usually) one elimination...
Like Rolf Pedersen, a Danish guy - the one who pushed Gwibbo off that pot earlier, and whom no one could identify (even Rolf Slotboom) until Henning Granstad made the discovery. Anyway, Arko Helland, a Norwegian, appears (from the position of the button when I saw the table as players stood up) to have limped utg with 5d 5h. Big blind Rolf raised with Ac Kd - I don't know whether this was the final or penultimate raise, all I saw were the AK and 55 on their backs and some tense railers urging the Fives to Hold! Hold they did, and that was a 60k pot to the Norwegian. Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: snoopy1239 on September 14, 2006, 03:09:30 AM Stephen Pearce -- 10,800
Julian Thew -- 6,700 Roland De Wolfe -- 34,000 Peter Gould -- 34,500 With 14 minutes left of Level 9 (which looks like being the last), Bog TK has ordered the press to leave the tournament area. However, I did manage to get the odd chip count as I departed. Nick Gibson -- 34,000 Ian Woodley -- 41,200 Ben Grundy -- 20,100 Gosler -- 16,900 Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 14, 2006, 03:17:16 AM OK, although Nick Gibson has come back from technically no chips to a healthy 25k or so, the Climber of the Day has to be Johnny Lodden. His start to the tournament was, some might say, disastrous - down to 400 and literally chip and chaired. Now he has over 50k (although doesn't stack in a counter-friendly manner). Ian Woodley can have a prize too - for quietly building up 44,500 without anyone taking much notice. He's in the big blind when Johnny's on the button. Would make for an interesting Day Two if there were no seat redraw...
Title: Re: POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - AT A GLANCE Post by: Djinn on September 14, 2006, 03:33:44 AM Play has ended, and it does look like Julian may have departed at the 11th hour (so says Bad Girl). The rest will come back after a day's break, but we'll be here to follow the action tomorrow, Day 1b....
