Interesting hand 1.10pm: Didn't get Cater fully Cater Phillips just lost a big pot but it could've been a lot worse for our recent EPT Barcelona champion. The river was out giving us a 5-3-10-3-7 board. Phillips led for 9,050 before his opponent moved all-in. Phillips thought it was a call and tabled A-A which was losing to his opponent's 5-5 for a full house. The floor was called and the ruling was that Phillips' hand was dead as he exposed it out of turn, thus he lost no more chips. He now had 15,000 left to work with.

The floor was called and the ruling was that Phillips' hand was dead as he exposed it out of turn, thus he lost no more chips. He now had 15,000 left to work with. The correct outcome seems to have occured here, but for the wrong reasons. Exposed hand shouldn't be killed. But the guy with 55 shouldn't have exposed until he was 100% sure he'd been called. So the AA guy should simply fold once he sees the 55. That would apply to TDA/RRs. However, EPT seem to have their own rules. The only rule I could find says: 25. No player will be allowed to expose his or her cards during a hand. But doesn't say what the specific punishment is. Later on under general possible punishments it lists having a hand declared dead as one of them. So by their rules this is fine I guess. Will be careful not to expose my cards if I play an EPT! And for what it's worth, I agree that exposed hands should be killed :) (Shock! I'm disagreeing with RRs!)

It will no doubt improve from Day 2 and beyond.

From earlier.... Table 41 has got a distinctively British flavour to it. There are five Brits including J P Kelly, Neil Channing and Jeff Kimber. The latter of these was just involved in two pots and he managed to win the first one but lost the second one. Kimber raised to 600 from early position and had two callers before a three-bet came from late position to the value of 2,450. Kimber's response was to raise again to the value of 9,000 and that was good enough to make all fold. The very next hand Kimber was at it again with a raise to 600 that was called in four spots including the two blinds. The flop came 4s 7s 5h and Kimber's 1,800 bet was only called by Kelly. The turn came Jh and Kimber's 1,875 bet was raised up to 4,500 by Kelly. The call was made and the river came Kh. Kimber checked this time and then called Kelly's 5,500 bet but mucked when Kelly announced "Flush" and opened 7h 4h Kimber shook his head and claimed to have been holding pocket fives.

When you have an aggressive style of play it is quite likely that you will suffer large swings in your chip stack during a tournament. Nobody knows this more than The Queen of Poker, Annette Obrestad. Annette, like 738 others, paid £5,000 to take part in the EPT London Main Event creating a prize pool of £3,540,500. During Day 1 421 of those players lost all their chips and had to settle for a place on the rail whilst 318 players returned for Day 2, all with a legitimate chance of taking the title and the £850,000 first prize. Early into proceedings, Annette busted last year's runner-up, Michael Tureniec when her Ace-Ten was very fortunate against her opponent's pair of Jacks on a board that read J-9-8-x-7 to make a straight. Every tournament player needs a bit of luck now and again! One player out of luck was the WSOPE Main Event Champion Barry Shulman. After losing a massive portion of his stack moving all in with pocket sixes on a Qh3c2h only to run into a pair of Aces, which held, Shulman once again found himself all in, this time with 5d6d on a 7d2c8c flop. His opponent, James Tomlin made the call with AcQc, spiked a queen on the turn and flushed on the river. Shulman quickly left the table, not even waiting to shake Tomlin's hand. Meanwhile, Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliot was having some fun at his table. Having moved all-in preflop he told his soletary opponent, "I have the best hand, otherwise you'd already be in there. Just try and do something before the blinds go up to 4,000/8,000." The Fish then asked if his opponent had a pair, "Yes" was the reply. "Oh then, don't call" said Ulliot, slanting his sunglasses across his face telling the table this was his impression of Van Gogh at the beach. After more dwelling his opponent folded and showed Jacks whilst Ulliot turned over pocket tens. "I'm glad you folded" said Ulliot, "Now I might win the tournament!" Unfortunately he busted not long after, though at least he still has his own hair! Annette chip stack was rising and falling like there was no tomorrow and she managed to double up to over 200,000 when she flopped the nut flush against an opponent who bluffed his stack off on the river. He limped in middle position and Annette checked her Big Blind with Qh7h. The flop was a beautiful AhKhJh and she check-called a bet and again on the turn. She had an easy decision to call on the river and her opponent showed 7d6d for an audacious bluff! The chips she won in this hand were quickly lost to Andrew Chen when she called his all-in bet preflop with AsJd to find she was in a coinflip against a pair of eights. The flop came 4cKd2d but the turn was an ugly eight of diamonds, the river was 2s, locking up the hand for Chen. Always a fighter, Annette then doubled up herself to go past the 160,000 mark when she shoved over the top of Michael 'Beppe' Greco's late position raise. Greco called with AcJs only to find he was dominated by Annette's AhQh. No help from the board for either player and Annette's queen kicker claimed the pot. As action drew to a close Annette amazingly doubled up again when she re-raised an early position raiser wth AhKh. The initial raiser then set her all-in and she made the call. Her hand was well in front of the KdQs of her opponent, even more so when it was announced two other players had a Queen in their hand. The JdAcJh gave him an extra couple of outs but an 8c turn and 4s river saw him eliminated and Anntte soar past the 300,000 mark. Play resumes at 1200 UK Time where 111 players will return to the felt with seven of them going home empty handed as only 104 places are being paid. Annette 'Annette_15" Obrestad will sit down with 312,000 chips, with the average stack being 190,000. Stay tuned to see if Annette can add an EPT title to her already impressive resume. Title: Re: EPT London Main event thread Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 05, 2009, 01:29:48 PM Annette's rep has paid off for her. Finnish guy just 4bet jammed 300k into her from button with Ad 8d and she snapped him off with Ac Kd, faded a flush draw. She's chip leader with 800k now.

It was just a few weeks back that Berry had no real plans to be here. It took winning a 5,771-player Mirror EPT Challenge on PokerStars. That win took him to a 290-player qualifier and first place there earned him his seat in London's Main Event. He considered anything after the money today as just another freeroll. Every money jump was just more money than he invested nothing but time to earn.

What more can we say about Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier? Well we've done 'Mercier wins this', we followed up with 'Mercier wins that', and now we can top it with 'Mercier wins the other'. The young player from Florida has just added the £2,500 No Limit side event here at EPT London to his trophy cabinet... and another $185,000 to his bankroll. Mercier's success story shows no sign of ending. He first hit the big time when he won EPT San Remo in Season 4. Months later he final tabled EPT Barcelona, and six weeks further down the line he won the first big EPT 5 High Roller event - scooping the £20,000 buy-in showcase in London. More results followed, and this summer he added a WSOP bracelet after winning the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event. It was just weeks after this that PokerStars announced he had joined the illustrious Team PokerStars Pro, and that seems to have just spurred on his poker even more: he chopped a side event at EPT Barcelona last month, and only last week he final tabled the WSOP-E Main Event in London, finishing fourth for $440,000.

How does this guy do it!? Title: Re: EPT London Main event thread Post by: TightEnd on October 06, 2009, 12:10:46 PM courtesy of the Betfair blog
It took just under 11 hours of play to whittle down 111 players to the final 24 in the £5,000 EPT London main Event. Each of the remaining players is guaranteed to go home with at least £17,000 but they will all have one eye on the £850,000 awarded for winning the tournament. Betfair's Annette Obrestad started the day with 312,000 and she quickly added 35,000 to this on the first hand! Less than an hour later, when on the money bubble, her stacked peaked at 430,000. With the screens displaying 105 remaining players, it meant the next person to bust out would go home empty handed. That dubious honour went to Piero Mormina after he open-shoved his last 28,500 chips with 3h3s only to be called by German Benny Spindler with Js8c. The board ran out 7sTcThAd9c and Spindler's straight was more than enough to burst the bubble. Spindler finished 3rd in the EPT Main Event in Paradise Island in January and will be looking for at least more of the same when play restarts this afternoon. Ms Obrestad then won a mammoth pot to become the tournament's chip leader. Harri Suni raised on the button and Annette re-raised in the big blind. Suni then shoved all in, prompting a call from the talented Norwegian. Both players revealed their cards, Suni had Ad8d whilst Annette was ahead with AcKd. The flop of 7cQdTd brought Suni a flush draw but it failed to appear as Qh and Kc fell on the turn and river and Annette boosted her stack to around 750,000. Shortly after the break, 'Annette_15' extended her chip lead when she once again got her money in whilst dominating her opponent's hand. This time Annette raised to 16,000 in the cutoff, Raymond Wu flat-called on the button but Umberto Vitagliano moved all-in from the blinds. Annette then re-raised to isolate Vitagliano and Wu obliged by folding his hand. Annette held AsQc and was up against AhTs and it stayed ahead on a board reading JhJs2s6h4d to take her to 900,000. Not everything was plain sailing for the 2007 WSOPE Main Event Champion as she managed to get all-in with Aces on a flop showing Qx8x5x to find she was against Ace-king but the turn and river were both Kings to knock her back down to 750,000. Her relentless aggression looked like it was paying off as she passed the magic 1,000,000 chip mark later in the day but after losing 77 to A6 and either initially being played back at and then getting no action towards the end of play, Annette Obrestad finished the day with 730,000 chips, to put her 16 from 24 in terms of chips. There are still some notable faces left in the field including 2008 WSOP Main Event Champion, Peter Eastgate, popular Irish player Marty Smyth and WPT winner Vivek Rajkumar. The title of chip leader goes to Michael Berry (pictured), an amateur player who won his seat in a freeroll held in conjunction with the Daily Mirror newspaper! What a story it would be if he could take the tournament down, well finish second behind Annette of course! Twitter Updates from Annette15 yesterday * 730k. Done for the day.
