Title: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 01:35:45 AM It's the final update of the year, all the way across from Prague, in Eastern Europe, another edition to the expanding EPT. But part of this update comes in the form of an announcement, that, as of next year, we'll be reducing the number of EPT updates that we do. The simple fact is that the vast majority of blonde's expenses go on live updates and with the dusk til dawn sponsorship (which everyone was incredibly grateful for and we hope we've given value for money in return) now ending, the truth of the matter is that blonde simply cannot afford to cover all the EPT's as more and more are introduced. (11 this year and they're looking for number 12 next year). We'll still be covering some of them and Copenhagen and the Grand Final in Monte Carlo will certainly be covered, but as for Dortmund, San Remo and Warsaw, their futures with regards to the blonde updates are much more up in the air.
Meanwhile, back in tourneyland, we're expecting numbers here to pick up slightly with the decrease in the buy-in to the much healthier (in my opinion) €5k. A smattering of Scandies with a dosage of Brits, but not so many Americans due to the fact that the APPT final in Sydney is going on at the same time. Finally, Mad Harper (Winner of the Best Staff Member award in Paris at the Weekend, hurrah!) has informed me that the new slimmer, blonder Elky now resembles Billy Idol, which is something I really have to see for myself. Play starts at 12pm(!). You heard me right. That's 11am UK time, set your clocks people!!! This is the At A Glance thread where only the updaters can post, for a fuller update, head over to the interactive thread. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: Chili on December 10, 2007, 11:16:37 AM A lonnnnnng anouncement has just been made by Thomas Kremser which is pretty handy because you get to find out stuff. I'll give you a short run down:
8 levels will be played today of 1 hour length. There will be a break every 2 hours for 15 mins. Days 1a & 1b will all be 9 handed but revert to 8 handed tables once Day 2 begins. There will be a redraw at the end of each day. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: Chili on December 10, 2007, 11:31:26 AM The offset of players not having to be in their seats for the start means that most players are playing about 5 handed and some tables even 3 handed! A great chance for some early tomfoolery if you fancy being cheeky. It looks like 238 players so far for today but registrations will still be taken in the first 2 levels.
Spotted today so far: Johnny Lodden Martin Wendt Rolf Slotboom Jeff Kimber Julian Thew Nicholas Levi Katja Thater Jonas Molander Gunnar Ostebrod Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 12:01:33 PM It's a quiet start so far, it's hard to spot many Brits around today. Ray Wyre seems to be the only other one apart from Jeff and Julian. The latter informing me that one player limp-called from UTG with K-2, chased a gutshot all the way to the river and a second min-raised Q-9, called a re-raise and then chased on an Ace high board just to hit his pair.
In more amusing news, there had to be a semi-table redraw when all FIVE Betsson players, including Johnny Lodden, Henning Granstad, and Gunner Osterbrod (who Maria really really really really really does not fancy. Honest) all got put on the same starting table. So three of them got moved. Anyone remember a situation like this happening before? Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 12:34:07 PM I think generally, I'm familiar with the vast majority of European players, but having spent a good ten minutes in the tournament area - a place which reminds me of a US College Basketball arena, most of the players are unrecognisable, there are so many new faces here it's untrue.
A pensive-looking Arnaud Mattern was facing a 3k bet on the river of a 5c 8s Qd 5d 9d, which at this point was going to cost him half his stack. Clearly agonising over the hand, he thought for a long time during which we went into level 2, (and got that 'OOohhhh Yeah' soundclip from Ferris Bueller's Day Off played in the background). Eventually, I'm guessing due to the flurry of betting either preflop or on the flop, (the turn was apparently checked) Arnaud mucked his Kings face up, and was shown Ahrt Qh. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 02:00:14 PM Rob Taylor is up to the early heights of 19k, while over on Julian's 'Whole Load of Crazy' table one player to his right limp re-raises all-in from under the gun, something he's apparently done 3 times already. The scandinavian in the pot, (to Julian's right) eventually makes the call with Aspades Qc, but this time he runs into Ahrt Ad the board coming 8-Q-J-4-J.

NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 02:34:17 PM Ray Wyre is OUT, 7-7 vs A-J, all-in on the turn of a J-J-6-4-A board.
Thewy is down to about 5k. After the affore-mentioned A-Q vs A-A. Thewy called a raise on the button with K-J and Mr A-Q previous hand man called as well from the small blind. The flop was K-3-3 with two suits and straight away the small blind moved in for 6k into the 2k pot. The other raiser flat-called with 2k back and Thewy put him in for his last 2k which the guy surprisingly passed for. The small blind was indeed on tilt as he turned over K-5 but spiked the 5 on the turn. Julian said, "I'll probably get a lot of stick for the call but I felt there was a good chance I was ahead and could've built up to 30k if I win that pot, and if I lose I still have 8k left." Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: Chili on December 10, 2007, 02:57:23 PM Some chip counts from the players I recognise, there really are a lot of European players I don't know but I shall endevour to learn today.

Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 03:11:36 PM The fabulously named Kenneth Hicks Jr has doubled through the equally wonderfully named Juilani Junnilainen with Tens against Eights on a 8c Td Ac 3c Ad board. All-in on the flop presumably.
Nicolas 'Hatpimp' Levi has lost a big chunk of his stack with Ahrt 6h against Kh Th on a 3h 4h Ts board. His opponent checked the multiway limped pot, Nicolas bet 750, received two callers, (one of whom apparently held Queens!) before the short stack moved in with his Kh Th, Nicolas moved in behind him but missed a heart or Ace. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 04:10:37 PM Jean Philippe Rohr is feeling like this:

He's just knocked out Julian (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=225) Thew (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=225) with A-T against Fives. Ace on the flop. 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) is OUT. Ace King against Nines, an Ace and a Nine on the flop. Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=113) Penly (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=113) bets 1,100 on a 8s 4c 5d 8h. His opponent in seat 2 makes it 3,000. Undeterred, Dave makes it 6,700 and elicits a fold from his opponent. Rolf (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=726) Slotboom (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=726) is squawking on table 17. His opponent has just bet 1,000 on a Ac 9c Ts Th board. "I'm folding the best hand here," he said, "Don't show me a bluff! Don't show me a bluff." He mucks the 9s. "I'm a chicken! A chicken!" shouts Rolf to anyone who is listening. I don't think he's a farmyard animal, but he's clearly left this planet. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: Chili on December 10, 2007, 04:47:32 PM have just done a hunt for big stacks and found these lucky/skillfull fellows:
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) - 40k Rob (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=724) Hollink (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=724) - 38k Don't know but looks scary - 53k Luigi Rizzi - 43k Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 05:15:23 PM Jeff Kimber is OUT. He raised with A-Q, called a re-raise all-in versus K-Q. The King came and then a flush as well to add to insult to injury.
Running out of Brits today, though it seems there's a lot more playing tomorrow including Priyan De Mel who won a sattelite last night. Nicolas Levi, the almighty 'Hatpimp' is out, he'd raised out of the small blind with Sevens getting one caller, bet a 2-3-4 flop before pushing on the King turn which he reasoned was most likely a blank, except his opponent had called his raise and flop bet with K-8... Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 05:48:39 PM Dennis Plejdrup just went out in a really big pot just before the break.
He'd bet out on a 3d Th 4c but was re-raised all-in by we think by Adrian Koy and faced a big decision for his tournament life. He stood-up and decided to go with his read and made the call with Jacks, a good call it turned out as his opponent was on a stone-cold bluff with Ad 9d until he spiked an Ace on the turn, winning what looked to be upwards of a 40k pot. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 06:25:52 PM Arnaud Mattern just knocked a player with Aspades Jh all-in preflop against Ahrt Tc. Ho hum I hear you cry...Except that the flop came out Th Td 5h only for the Ks and Qd to be the turn and river.
Lex Meijer -- 15k Habala Zdedek -- 12k Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: Chili on December 10, 2007, 06:51:24 PM Rob Taylor is OUT at the hands of Daan Ruiter. His Jacks tripped up on the flop but Daan used his get out of jail free card for the turn when he hit a third King.
The last level of the day has just started. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 07:52:36 PM 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), the Scandie Mitchell Brother is going well. In Baden he was the only person to hold a percentage of Julian (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=225) Thew (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=225), literally 1%. Here, he's accumulated a big enough stack to terrorise the hanger-ons. Just as I took this photo Martin had already raised when the big blind realised he'd been dealt three cards but hadn't looked, unluckily for him, his hand was declared dead and Wendt and took the blinds.
(http://www.blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=6624&g2_serialNumber=1) With 10 minutes to go, it's been announced we're playing 5 more hands before ending the night and colouring up the chips. Most of the dealers actually have some 500 and 1k chips in their tray and have occasionally, when many green 25 chips have been in a pot, been colouring up some of them already. A great idea in my view, to speed things up for the end of the night. Katja (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=624) Thater (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=624) just got very lucky, setting a short stack in with Qh Th and being instantly called by Ks Kc. Until she connected pretty hard with the 9h 2d 5h 6h Jh board that is. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - At A Glance Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 08:03:41 PM The press have been kicked out for the last couple of hands but play has now finished for the day. It's so odd to be finishing at this (relatively) early hour. But in a way, I actually like this lean structure, it stops the days from dragging too long and for a change I actually still feel awake and not immediately ready to sleep like I usually do.
Anyway, we'll be restarting once more at 12pm (11am UK time) for Day 1B. Many more Brits will be playing tomorrow, so hopefully less unknows and more names. It's been very tough today without a player list appearing immeditately and the high number of people we've never seen before. Tomorrow should be easier, we hope.
