A total of 122 players have made it through to Day 2, 48 from Day1a & 74 from Day1b.

The structure of today is that we shall either play down to the money, which is 24, or to 8 levels whichever comes first.
Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: Chili on November 01, 2007, 02:27:49 PM The moment I located Arnaud Mattern, I witness a much blessed double up. I arrived with all the chips in the middle and Arnaud holding AJ & Marcel Baran holding AQ. The glorious board for Arnaud came out:
Ac Js Th 9s 2d To give Arnaud a stack of about 38,000 early doors. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: Chili on November 01, 2007, 02:33:24 PM Just as I watched Mattern double up, I swung around and directly behind me was Ian Cox announcing "I call!" Mateyboy went all in for about 30,000 on a flop of:
7c Jd 8c Mateyboy Th Ts Ian Cox Kc Kh the next two cards were harmless enough for Ian and he adds to his stack for a total circa 80,000. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on November 01, 2007, 02:45:25 PM Juha (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=619) Helppi (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=619) has been eliminated from the tournament.
------------ Uncharacteristically for EPTs, and this is possibly a credit to either the structure or the 15k starting stack, we haven't witnessed the usual flurry of exits that seem to occur during the first level of Day 2s. What we have seen, however, are some mighty big pots and some seemingly brave all-ins. One of those was from Andrew Grimason, who, facing a bet of 10,450 on a Ks 7h 3h Flop, was forced into the think tank by table neighbour Kevin Vreeswijk. Puffing his cheeks out and casually listening to his ipod, Kevin turned to his opponent and looked him straight in the eyes, but it would appear that this confidence was a mere facade as Grimason opted to move all-in before adopting a rigid hands on chin posture. Kevin quickly folded, leaving Andrew to breath out a deep sigh of relief and thank the Heavens for the fold, although, of course, this could have been a cover up for a bigger hand. "Show us the bluff!" commanded Paul (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=325) Gourlay (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=325). ------------- As Daniel Ryan is spotted exiting stage left, Ian Woodley also catches my eye. The mouthy Londoner isn't someone who wouldn't normally go unnoticed, but I must confess to forgetting he even existed in the comp. "Oh that's great that is," he moans. "I'll try and make your job easier than, shall I, and get myself knocked out." On a more serious note, Woodley continued, "I haven't seen much in the way of hands, so am below my starting stack for today. Just took the blinds once, that was it." Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: Chili on November 01, 2007, 02:56:07 PM Nicolas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=675) Levi (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=675) is OUT, he found himself down to 10,000 and in the big blind facing a raise to 1,600 from Dutchman Van Der Berg. Levi made the call and saw a flop
Ahrt 5d 3c check, check Turn 3h Thierry bet 2,200, Levi made the call "thought he was at it" said Levi. River Ad Levi put in his remaing chips to try and take the pot with a missed flush but Thierry held Aspades Tc for the full house! ------------------------------------------- Florian Langmann who made the final this year at EPT London is also OUT. His chips going in the direction of Cypriot Phidias Georgiou who also went very deep in the London leg of this tour. ---------- Rumour has it that John Conroy has bitted the dust courtesy of fellow Irishman Andy Black, although this will need to be confirmed. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on November 01, 2007, 03:21:05 PM Speaking of Mike McDonald and Dave Colclough, the rest of their table have gone all antsy in their pantsy leading to a three way pot with two players all-in before the flop. It was a rather simple procedure in the end, the shortstack pushing with A-4, Tommi Linfors re-raising with A-J before being called all-in by fellow Fin Sami Kalopuro in the next seat with A-K.
Although the Big Slick was in good shape, it wasn't enough against the A-J of Tommi which hit three pair (if that was a legal poker hand) on a J-9-9-8-8 board. As a result, Sami is sent to the sidelines leaving Tommi with 80k in chips and a smile as wide as Paul Daniels' face. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: Chili on November 01, 2007, 03:32:31 PM Funny you should say that Kin, I should just pull up a chair next to Ian (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=171) Cox (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=171) and watch him rake in the chips. He must have close to 100,000 now as I just saw him stacking up more chips.
"What happened Ian?" "Well there was a raise and a reraise, and I looked down at Aces" He runs good, his opponent was Phillip Hardy who had Kings. Ian shrugs, smiles and stacks his towers higher. ------------------------------ We are half way through level 9 and are already down to 89 players.

Annette (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=902) Obrestad (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=902) -- 36,000 Richard (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=367) Ashby (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=367) -- 14,400 Jonothon Butters -- 39,000 Martin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=269) Green (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=269) -- 19,300 Ben (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=45) Grundy (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=45) -- 17,800 Ian (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=171) Cox (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=171) -- 107,000 Len (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=971) Collin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=971) -- 7,500 Arnaud (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1011) Mattern (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1011) -- 36,200 Josh Gould -- 41,800 Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) -- 64,100 Mike McDonald -- 59,100 Ash (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=38) Hussain (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=38) -- 43,300 Paul (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=325) Gourlay (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=325) -- 17,300 It looks like Nicolas (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=675) Levi (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=675) and Chris Bush are gone, although I need to double check the latter of those two. I'm not sure how he got so low, but Len Collin doubled up to 7.5k with K-Q versus 8-3 before pushing all-in from the button on the very next hand and snapping up the blinds. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on November 01, 2007, 04:11:19 PM Len (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=971) Collin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=971) is OUT. He pushed all-in from the button and was called by Paul (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=863) Testud (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=863).
Len = 9d 9c Testud = Ac Kh Board = Th Aspades 5h Qd 8c "First pair today," mumbled Len as he departed... although he was graceful enough to shake the hand of his assassin. ---------- Josh Gould is on 40k after eliminating Terry Cook with A-K vs. K-Q, small blind versus button. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: Chili on November 01, 2007, 04:13:24 PM Ben Grundy has gone, he lost a lot of chips with AQ v A9 all in preflop. Then left with a pittance, moved all in with A5 but was called by AQ and that's all she wrote.
An exciting double up for Noah Boeken now on around 80,000. I caught the action late unfortunately, but I joined the plentiful onlookers at the table when Portugeuse player Antonio Lemos was facing an all in from Noah with 4 cards on the board. He was actually put on the clock and looked like a very tough decision. The cards on board were: Tc 6c 5c Ks Thomas Kremser was next to Lemos and announced "You have 5 secs, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" On Thomas's 1, the Bono duplicate said "CALL" and was faced with a superfast turn over from Noah Boeken holding Qc 8c for the flopped flush. Mr Lemos tried to muck his cards but Thomas made him turn the cards over and showed Ahrt 5h and a gasp in shock followed from the audience. I missed the action previously but onlookers said that Noah had been dishing out some speach play, so maybe it was this that finally tipped the balance for the call. Anway, Antonio Lemos was left with only about 4,500 in chips and a very red face. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: Chili on November 01, 2007, 04:46:37 PM I just seen Richard Ashby leaving, he is OUT after runing 4's into J's.
Annette Obrestad is happy and on around 50,000 Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on November 01, 2007, 05:28:42 PM We've been experiencing severe connection problems here today, but here are the full chip counts from the end of the last break.

J-T versus the Q-Q of Andy Black doesn't sound particularly bad in itself, but when you add the phrase 'all-in pre-flop', then take a slightly darker turn. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on November 01, 2007, 05:32:49 PM Courtesy of Chili:
Thierry (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1133) Van Der Berg (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1133) has been knocked out by Anitjonor Aleksandr with J-J vs. 2-2. Kevin Vreeswijk is also out after moving in with 9-7 versus the 7-7 of Johannes Steindl. The Sevens stood up. Surinder (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=422) Sunar (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=422) has been eliminated by Ramzi (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=714) Jelassi (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=714). No further details. Paul (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=325) Gourlay (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=325) doubled through by going all-in with 6-3 and hitting a full house. Then he found Aces on the big blind and one non-beleiver. The Rocket Man now up to 28,000. Neighbour Ash (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=38) Hussain (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=38) also has 28,000. ------------ Jan (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=591) Sjavik (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=591) and George (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1211) McKeever (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1211) are both OUT, as I fear is Martin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=655) Wendt (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=655) (he wendt, as goes the tedious press room gag) who was spotted outside having a faaaaaaaaaag... although he could just be a tobacco addict. ------------ Ramzi Jelassi is running hot. As well as seeing off Surinder Sunar, he moved from 8 to 12k courtesy of Ian Cox, before initially doubling up through Gustaf Jonasson with Sevens vs Ace King (his request of a seven was reward with a 7-6-6 Flop). ------------ Andreas Hoivold was left to shrug his shoulders with a hint of embarrassment, amid internal cheers of joy, after his A-K all-in against K-K managed to spike an Ace on the Flop. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on November 01, 2007, 06:03:13 PM Ian (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=176) Woodley (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=176) is left scratching his head in disbelief as Noah (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=677) Boeken (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=677) sucked out on him again (he did it yesterday too says Ian). Mateyboy raises and Noah reraises on the button with 3s 3h to about 12k. Ian is sitting pretty in the big blind with Qs Qh and moves all in for another 20k on top. Mateyboy passes and it's left to Noah to make the 20k call. He muttered and said he didn't want to pass to a AK, so he makes the call.
You kinda can guess what is next, Noah hit another 3 on the flop and Woodley is left to give us some ear bashing about the cruelty of this game we all love. ------------- Ash Hussain is struggling at the moment with 21k, his last hand being a fold to a button re-raise (3,200 to 10,000) from Kristian Kjondal.

His Kings came up against the mightly chip stack of Casper Hansen and his less mightier 6's. Sadly for Chris, Casper hit a six and Chris is shrugging his shoulders.

I didn't catch the pe-flop action, but he clashed with Mike McDonald in the big blind and checked a Jc 6d 5h Flop. Mike bet out, Ramzi raised, Mike pushed all-in and Ramzi called, for what was ultimately a paltry sum.
Ramzi = Kh Kd Mike = 5c 5d Turn = Aspades River = 2s Ramzi not a happy chappy. --------------- On the next table, Ash Hussain knocks Dave Colcough down to just 15k with Qs Ts versus Ac Jc all-in on a Flop of Qc Qd 9c. Turn and River were blanks. "You don't know how far behind you are," claims Ash Hussain on the Flop. "I'm happy with the pot as it is." On the turn of the River, Ash rose from his seat and clapped his hands, "Come on!" much like he did in the 2006 Monte Carlo final when he outdrew Kristian Ulriksen. Obviously winning an EPT means a lot to the former European Rankings winner. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: Chili on November 01, 2007, 08:29:41 PM Great news for Paul Gourlay as he just doubled up thru Lacay. There was a raise of 4,600 which Lacay just called which resulted in Gourlay going all in for a further 12,700 from the small blind. Lacay clearly didn't want to call as the original raiser passed, but he did and the result was:
Gourlay 6d 6c Lacay Qs Jh Paul's 6's were good and he now has a much healthier 40,000. We have just started Level 12 1,000 / 2,000 200 ante 40 players left 82,000 average Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on November 01, 2007, 08:47:38 PM What happened to andy grimasson? Andy went out in the most testicle crunching of ways, his Aces versus Kings, all-in pre-flop, flopping a set and then losing to runner runner flush. ----------- Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) -- 14,000 Johnny (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=606) Lodden (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=606) -- 104,000 ----------- Andy Black has been temporarily silenced (although I assure you it will only be momentary) after doubling up Michiel Brummelhuis. When I joined the action, it was on your backs times with Michiel relieved to be ahead with Twos versus A-K. An intriguing second glance requiring 2-Q-A-4-A board later and it was all she wrote. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: Chili on November 01, 2007, 09:13:54 PM Sad news that Paul (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=325) Gourlay (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=325) has joined turned up in the press room. He is OUT indeed out, he raised under the gun with AJ and was called from Ludvic Lacay in the BB. They saw a flop like this
6d 9s Jh Lacay checked and Paul bet 8k with 42k left. This was met with a min raise from Lacay, who has been rather volatile on the table, going from chip leader to average regularly. Paul then took the chance and committed the rest of his chips only to be shown the J9 of Ludvic Lacay. Paul is OUT and Ludvic is back up to about 120,000. CHIP COUNT ON Ash (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=38) Hussain (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=38) PLEASE Since Paul (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=325) Gourlay (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=325) has not alot else to do, I sent him to get an update on Ash (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=38) Hussain (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=38) and the resulst is Ash is down to 50K. He was just reraised from Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) and layed down his hand. -------------------------- A desparately needed double up for Martin Green just now courtesy of the KK held by Tommy Lindfors. It was all in preflop and Martin had AJ, a flopped A gave a sigh of relief for Martin and also the heady heights 40,000 Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on November 01, 2007, 09:27:32 PM I don't think I've ever heard Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) use the phrase, "Ship it, baby!", but his latest treble up was the exception, Ash (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=38) Hussain (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=38)'s button raise to 6k, followed by Johnny Lodden's smooth call, led to an all-in from Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) in the big blind for an extra 8k more.
Naturally, both players called, and then subsequently checked down a 6d Kd 9c 8s 3d board, Lodden even announcing that he was going to check the Flop blind. With Lodden's Ahrt Ts and Ash's 4h 4c failing to improve, it was left to El Blondie's Kc Jh to scoop up a nice pot. "Now I'm dangerous!" he cheers. "Don't ever treble me up."

He found himself low and pushed with 33 but an auto call from the AK of Michiel Brummelhuis and a K on the flop sent Phidias out in 32nd place.
Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on November 01, 2007, 10:39:36 PM It's all gone snooker loopey out there, the victim of the snooker loopiness being Mike McDonald who has now snooker looped his way over to the rail. The snooker loopiness started with a 7k raise from Mateyboy with Nines, 21k from Mike with Jacks and then an all-in from Annette with A-Q. The Nines folded, but Mike called, only to lose to an Ace. To say he looked a tad shell-shocked would be an understatement. Little ol Annette meanwhile has more chips than a potato factory.
----------- Tommi Lindfors has been Tommy (ahem) gunned down by popular Spaniard Simon Munoz, the serial note-taker left to high five his Unibet countrymen in jubilant victory. The hand in question was an all-in jobby come flop time, Munoz in terrific shape with Q-J vs. J-T on an A-9-T-8 board. The 4 on the River was of no use. 27 left I think Kremser announced. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: Chili on November 01, 2007, 10:55:41 PM A bit pot involving Johnny Lodden & Andreas Hoivold just happened and resulted in Hoivold going all in and called by Lodden all preflop. Not surprising since Hoivold held AK and Lodden QQ.
No help on the board for Hoivold and he is eliminated in 29th spot. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: Chili on November 01, 2007, 11:36:54 PM Tony (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=772) Cascarino (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=772) going deep yet again in an EPT finds himself short and decides that the time has come to fight back. He reraised all in a raise from Johnny (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=606) Lodden (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=606), only to find his neighbour Jan (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=919) Veit (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=919) push all in too. Lodden passed and the cards are on their backs.
4d 4h for Cascarino Qs Qd for Veit The queens stand and Cascarino is OUT in 26th place. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on November 01, 2007, 11:42:26 PM After punishing Johnny Lodden's small blind limp, albeit with a smile, with an all-in push, Dave Colclough finds himself all-in once again on the very next hand. Playing from the small blind, Dave checks an 8c 3s 5s Flop only for his Finnish neighbour in the big blind, Reijo Manninen to bet out 6k. Moments later, Dave 's chips are being slid across the line and the crowd are swarming around, excitedly awaiting the conclusion of the hand. With his mouth hovering over the microphone, Thomas Kremser's spiel is triggered as Manninen announces call and shows Ts 7s. Colclough, meanwhile, flips a leading, but ultimately rather vulnerable Kh 8h.
A Js on the Turn and it was over, Colclough had become EPT bubbleboy yet again and was forced to soak in the mixture of consolatory pats on the back, and secret punches of the air as the dealer reels out the academic Jh River. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: snoopy1239 on November 01, 2007, 11:53:13 PM Whilst we awaited the bubble to fall, there were a couple of other hands of note that I was unable to report without trundling back to the laptop and potentially missing the final departure.
With Ash Hussain surviving an all-in with Pocket Queens - I think he was still happy to take the blinds - the player the other side, Csaba Malnai, of the dealer couldn't escape an uncontested push as his all-in was semi-hesitantly called for 11k more by Annette Obrestad in the big blind. Csaba = Ad Kd Annette = 7c 6h "Oooh, two live cards," observed Annette camply. Board = Jc 3h 4h Kc 9s Title: Re: Pokerstars.com Dublin EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance Post by: Chili on November 02, 2007, 12:15:26 AM The final remaining 24 players, chip counts and new seat redraw for Day3. Play will resume again at 2pm again folks, so please join me and Snoops for another day of fun and games.
