Dave Gregory just eliminated two players. He held A-3 against T-T and A-A, all-in preflop. Flop 2-4-5!


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 01:27:55 PM
The usual massacre has ensued and they're dropping like Flemmings (that's a cross between a fly and a lemming by the way).

Early exiters include Spencer Lawrencem Axel HErbst and one of the few remaining female players remaining (only Katja Thater springs to mind at this very moment), Annica Ivert.

-----------------

Meanwhile, Dave Gregory and Juha Helppi have both doubled up, the latter all-in with Nines versus the Pocket Tens of Mikael Westerlund, hitting quads to survive.

-----------------

Shortstacked Bjorn Erik Suhr has bitten the dust, his desperation all-in button move with Q-x being called by Swedish sensation Ramzi Jelassi's T-7.

9-K-8-J-3 board was pretty emphatic.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 01:33:25 PM
According to Dave Welch, Farid Meraghni has become a one man wrecking crew, taking out three tablemates (well, enemies, not mates) already. Two of them were Tomas Alenius and Soren Kongsgaard Nielsen.

With the Nielsen hand, Dave Welch raised it up, Nielsen moved all-in and Meraghni called. Dave got out the way and looked on as Nielsen showed Q-J to Meraghni's A-Q. Jack on the flop gave him some hope, but the dark destroyer made a flush on the River.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 16, 2007, 01:49:53 PM
Fabrice Soullier is out, his A-Q no match for Peter Willer Jespen's J-J.

Peter Eicchardt was spotted at the bar chatting up a brunette, so either he has had a better offer or he's OUT.

Katja Thater raises from the cut-off. Andreas Hoivold re-raises from the big blind, Katja moves all-in instantly. Andreas sighs, "I have to call."

Andreas:

2h 2s

Katja:

Js Jc

Board:

7h Qs 6c Jd 6s


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 01:49:56 PM
Tim Gillig is OUT.

---------------

Marius Skoglund Torbergsen has just eliminated Pole Tomasz Al Chalabi, all the chips going in on the river of a Qs-4-4-7s-8s board.

Marius took it down with Aspades 5s vs. Qc 5c.

----------------

Ben Grundy is down to circa 20k after doubling up Soren Bakfort. Slightly unlucky too, his K-J of spades being outdrawn by the Scandie's Q-7s on a 5-Q-9-A-J.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 02:10:41 PM
De Mel -- 18k
Helppi -- 24k
Conroy -- 23k
Grundy -- 19k
Granstad -- 79k
Boatman -- 34k
Kelly -- 9k
ElkY -- 66k
Welch -- 17k
Robson -- 20k
Gregory -- 29k
Jelassi -- 24k

Peter Willers Jepsen is currently leading the pack with 103k.

Jani Sointula and Christoffer Sonnessen have been spotted on the rail, so they're both out.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 16, 2007, 02:24:42 PM
The fabulously named Michael Van Putten Due has taken one of the those metamorphising potions and transformed into Henning Granstad, or he could be out. I think it's 50/50.

Speaking of Henning, he's been getting into a few tussles, first hand, it's his big blind and Paul Kristoffersson raises and Henning calls, then check/raises Paul's 8k bet to 20k on the 3d 9d 5d board getting his fellow scandie to pass.

A few hands later and Paul raises again, called by Henning on the button and Age Spets in the small blind.

Flop:

6s 3c 4h

Age checks, Paul bets 11k, Henning dwells and passes. Age check/raises which incredibly makes Paul pass Kc Kd, and there's a gasp as we see Age's hand...

Guess what it was?


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 02:29:30 PM
Ross Boatman is OUT.

----------------

Priyan De Mel has doubled through, busting K-Q with Aces, two pair by the River.

----------------

Essex's Dave Welch has also doubled up, this time with Tens vs. and under the gun raiser's A-Q. Ten hit the Flop and it was party time.

Dave now up to 31k.

-----------------

Thomas Mathiesen appears to be leading the way with 108k.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 02:57:21 PM
A shortstacked Priyan De Mel survives a 50-50. All-in under the gun with 7d 7h, the Brit was called by Ac Js, but lives to fight another day come the 2s 5c 4c 4s Th board.

-----------------------

No sign of Ben Grundy I'm afraid, so it looks like he's a gonna.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 16, 2007, 02:57:43 PM
3d 4d is my guess

No, shockingly Age showed Jc Jd!


Elesewhere, Simon Kelly, who was down to just 1,700 last night after having his Aces cracked by Queens which flopped Quads, has managed to come back up up to 23.7k now. Just having pushed with J-7 and getting called by A-2 and rivering on the A-J-T-4-7 board.

Patric Martensson just cracked Aces. He called a raise from the big blind after there was a MP raise and a button call. The flop was Ks Td 2d and he bet out and, finding the original raiser pushing and the button folding, called the all-in with his Kh Th against the Ahrt Aspades. No help for the Aces on the 6d or 3d river.

Ramzi Jelassi just lost an 80k pot with T-T vs 8-8 when an 8 spiked the flop.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 03:01:37 PM
Irishmen Simon Kelly is showing true grinding ability, and has been rewarded with a spot of good fortune.

Moving his shortstack in from late position with J-7, he was called down by the blind's A-2.

A Jack o nthe Flop looked good, until it was followed by a nieghbouring, a temporarily spirit crushing Ace, but come the 7 River, Simon was jumping for joy.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 03:19:21 PM
Just as I run down, I spot Simon Kelly approaching in the opposite direction, which signalled the 15 minute break.

I did get a story though. Apparantly Simon has been watching Thewy too much as he went down to 11k (a rock re-raised his K-Q), before doubling up to 26k with A-Q vs. A-J.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 16, 2007, 03:27:42 PM
Big Pot News now...

Thomas Mathiesen raises to 5,100 from UTG. Peter Jepsen makes it 17,000 from the big blind. Thomas instantly moves all-in from 96k. Peter dwells for ages before eventually calling all-in for 92k

Thomas:

Ahrt 7s

Peter:

Ad Kc

Board:

6s 5d 3d 5h Jd

Peter is clear chip leader now, he said he almost folded too... Thomas has a paltry two stacks of 100 chips and is looking very forlorn.

Karl Mahrenholz is OUT, Dave Welch told me he made a move against a guy who had constantly been raising his blind, only this time, Karl pushed with 9-4 only to run into Kings.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 16, 2007, 03:38:46 PM
Blinds are now 1k/2k with a 200 ante.

------------------

Rumour has it that Simon Young lost a big pot before being forced to move his tiny stack in with 9-2. He came up against two sets of King Queens, which wasn't bad considering, especially when the Flop came Q-2-2.

However a Queen soon followed and Simon's hopes were crushed.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 03:41:38 PM
Dave Welch is OUT.

Queens vs. Tens.

All-in pre-flop.

Gutshot for a straight.

-------------------

Dave Gregory and Jim Kerrigan are both OUT.

Dave lost with A-Q (pushed over the top) against A-K. They both saw an A-K-Q Flop and, naturally, the chips went in. Ace on Turn was salt in wounds.

Meanwhile, Jim lost out to former chip leader Thomas Mathiesen with Nines (utg raises) vs. Aces (re-raised in late position). I say former, because Thomas is apparantly a bit of a maniac, and although he had over 100k only 20-30 mins ago, he is now dramatically OUT after dishing out his chips left right and centre. "He was raising for fun this guy, with any two cards, and I thought I can't fold to him again, so pushed. Can't believe he had Aces," commented a disappointed Jim.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 16, 2007, 04:04:13 PM


Having just cracked A-T with T-3 hitting the 3 on the turn to scoop another decent pot, Peter Jespen's now over 300k. Which means he has over 10% of all the chips in play...

The latest huge pot to his way was when he knocked out Christopher Ulsrud.

Flop:

Ts 6h 2d

Check check

Turn:

3h

All the chips end up flying into the middle.

Christopher:

Tc Td for the current 2nd nuts...

Peter:

5s 4s

River:

Qc


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 04:18:20 PM
Chip leaders:

Peter Willers Jespen -- 301k
Mikael Westerlund -- 152k
Scandieboy -- 118k
Henning Granstad -- 115k
Bertrand Grospellier -- 101k

Some more chip counts that you might be interested in:

Simon Kelly -- 22k
John Conroy -- 54k
Rolf Woods -- 19k
Andrew O'Flaherty -- 26k
Ramzi Jelassi -- 29k
Priyan De Mel -- 26k
Katja Thater -- 33k
Andreas Hoivold -- 23k

John Conroy got up to that 50 plus k figure by winning a race with A-8 vs. 7-7. Sweaty palm job according to John, waiting to the River before pairing up.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 16, 2007, 04:31:35 PM
Priyan has doubled up. 8h 8d vs Ac 7s on a 6h Jd 5d Kd 6c board.

42 left, average stack is about 68,300. Blinds are 1.5k/3k with a 300 ante.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 04:54:28 PM
Rolf Woods is OUT. Desposed of by next door neighbour and fellow Norwegian, Henning Granstad, Fours v Aces, no help.

-----------------

Paul Kristoffersson is having a fun time. Not sure how but his stack depleted somewhat before he doubled up off big chipper Mikael Westerveld with Jacks v A-4. Westerveld called pre-flop before flinging the chips in on an A-K-J Flop.

Because of this yoyo-ing, Paul is back up to 140k. Mikael, meanwhile, has dropped down to 75k.

------------------

Russell Carson has just eliminated a Scandinavian opponent with A-K vs A-3. 8-7-9-5-T board.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 16, 2007, 05:16:59 PM
Priyan De Mel has busted Simon Kelly with A-J vs 3-3 on a J-8-5-J-8 board.

Elsewhere Katja made, according to Dave Welch, an 'instant call' that doubled her up. Age Spets limped the button, Katja made up and then Ramzi moved all-in. Age passed and Katja called all-in with A-4, not just slightly ahead, but way ahead of Ramzi's K-4, and it remained so on an A-7-T-Q-3 board.

Mark Petersen bluffed his entire stack to Patric Martesson, on a Kd 4d 4h Jh 2c board. Having aggressively bet all streets, Mark moved in for around 50k or so on the river, and Patric eventually made the call with Kh Qd and was shown...5c 3h.

Patric has 170k and is now sitting to the left of Peter Jespen, the chip leader. Ole Gammeljord (on the right here with Patric), is also on this table with a whole lotta chips.

Okey dokey, 31 players left:

Chris Dobson -- out
Marius Sokglund Torbegsen -- 101k
Frederik Holstrup -- 132k
Bertrand Grospellier -- 28k
Paul Kristoffersson -- 195k

Priyan De Mel -- 58k
John Conroy -- 53k
Benjamin Kang -- 46k
Dennis Plejdrup -- 105k

The question mark is because he has just won a pot, but is yet to stack his chips.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: NoflopsHomer on March 16, 2007, 06:23:20 PM
The seat of Thomas Osmun is empty, he's just got a 10 minute penalty for accidentally exposing his cards after calling a river bet with Qc Ts on a Queen high board. There was still a player to act, who ended up folding anyway. Even worse, Thomas still lost the pot to Aspades Qh.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance
Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 06:24:12 PM
Andrew O'Flaherty (bb) doubles up with A-Q vs Farid Meraghni's (sb) A-3 after Paul Kristoffersson had raised from the cut-off.


Title: Re: EPT Warsaw: Day 2 - At A Glance

Juuso Kauppinen is OUT

He had Ad Qd agaisnt Benjamin Kang's Ahrt Jd

Board:

Kh Jh 6c 4h Qh


Kang then declared, "Abortions for all!" and was booed. Then "No abortions for anyone!" and was booed. Then, "Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!" And everyone was happy.

Post by: snoopy1239 on March 16, 2007, 06:49:45 PM
With 26 players left, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get anywhere near the tables, mainly because so many random spectators are going through the rail. This in turn makes it more crowded, resulting in the TD becoming pissed off and ordering everyone out. However, John Conroy and Priyan De Mel's table is right next to the rail, so this is the one I have been observing with a keen eye.

Whilst John has been quietly plugging away (he has 69k), Priyan De Mel has become a frequent participant in pots, including two recent all-ins. The first was against his neighbour, who separates the Irishman from the Brit, when Priyan was virtually forced to call and all-in re-raise with 9c 7c. Incredibly, his opponent had a dominating hand in Td 7d, which became even more controlling once the Flop came 9d Tc 6s. An Ace on the Turn and a Five on the River and Priyan had taken a slight knock that brought him back down to 63k.

But jovial and confident as ever, Priyan was back in the thick of things a few minutes later, finding himself all-in with cowboys against Pocket Snowmen. A Queen high Flop resulted in a clenched fist, a quiet "Yes" and the stacking of a nice jumble of chips.

And wow, the bubble has been burst before we can put up a MC Hammer picture!

The forever smiling Age Spets, isn't really smiling now. The other short stack on his table pushed and Age called with A-Q and found himself up against 8-5.

Board:

Kd Kc 8h Ks Jd

We are now on a 45 minute dinner break.

Roberto Matic is OUT.

Standard raise all-in call affair between Roberto and Andrew O'Flaherty, the latter with the final decision which, incidentally, he made instantly.

So much carnage, I'm going to just cross the names out with their exit stories.

Table 1:

(1) Benjamin Kang
(2) Henning Granstad (Pushed Queens after Holstrup raised and Westerlund pushed, Holstrup had A-A)
(3) Priyam De Mel (Lost A-K vs Katja Thater T-T after she was moved to this table, he then shoved K-7 in sb against Holstrup's 8-6 that flopped an 8)
(4) Frederik Holstrup
(5) Farid Meraghni
(6) John Conroy
(7) Mikael Westerlund (Pushed J-T after Holstrup raised, Henning Granstad called in too with Q-Q but Holstrup had AA)
(8) Dennis Bejedal

Table 2:

(1) Dennis Plejdrup
(2) Roberto Matic (See above)
(3) Katja Thater
(4) Peter Willers Jesper
(5) Patric Martensson
(6) Marius Sokglund Torbegsen
(7) Andrew O'Flaherty
(8) Ole Gammeljord (raised and pushed on an A-6-5 board with 9-9, Marius had called the raise with 6-6 and the set held)

Benjamin Kang is OUT.

First off he lost a big pot to Dennis Bejedal with A-T vs. A-2, all-in pre-flop, nasty 2 hitting the board.

Then his Ad Jh was outdrawn by Farid Meraghni's Qc 4c. Board read Qd 6h 2d Ks 6s.

Not a good 10 minutes for the German player.

----------------

Good news for John Conroy fans - he has just doubled through with Qd 3d (cheeky) vs. Aspades Jh.

Board = Qh 4d 9s Jd 2s

Holstrup just made a sick call before the break, he raised and Farid Meraghni moved in, Holstrup called with....Ahrt 5d and was ahead of Kc Jc

Board:

Kh 4h Td 8c Jh


Farid on 400k.

And here it is...

Farid Meraghni limps under the gun for 10k.

Katja Thater moves all-in for 81k from the button.

Dennis Bejedal smooth calls from the small blind.

Farid also flat calls.

Seemingly unaware that Farid had made the call, predominantly because he holds his cards behind his stack, Katja revealed her hand, Qs Jd.

The hand will continue but she was given a ten minute penalty if she were to survive.

Moaning Katja commented, "He's always hiding his cards, I couldn't see!", but her cries fells her stoney ground.

Flop = Qd Qc 9c

Both players check.

Turn = 2s

And out of the blue, Dennis announces all-in with a flourish.

Farid calls instantly and turns over Jc Qh.

Dennis reveals Aspades Ahrt.

River was a rag, and we lose no one.

However, whilst Katja adds 50% to her stack to put her over 100k, a red-faced Dennis drops to 55k and Farid jumps to 750k, which is surely the chip lead.

Blinds are currently 5k/10k/1k, don't think they'll be rolled back tomorrow and although there is a Frenchman in the lead, I can't see (as per usual) beyond the Scandies.
