Day1a today

The European Poker Tour’s Season 8 visit to Berlin will be the third occasion the tour has visited the German capital. This is one of the biggest stops on the tour schedule, as this event has historically attracted a big field. In the first year, and incredible 945 players took part in the Main Event, while 773 registered to play in 2011.

The big winner in Season 7 was Canadian player Ben Wilinofsky, who took down the title and €825,000 in first place prize money. The final table featured four players from Germany, but the local talent was unable to get the win on home soil. In the two years the EPT has visited Berlin, the total prize money awarded in Main Events has been more than €8,500,000 - the 2012 event will see it reach new heights.

€5,000 + €300

Day 2 at the 2012 PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Berlin Main Event has wrapped up after a full six levels of play on Wednesday. To begin the day, 329 hopefuls returned to action. At the conclusion, that number was whittled down to 102 and they are all in the money.

Former EPT champion Anton Wigg, who won EPT Copenhagen in Season 6, maneuvered himself around all of the obstacles he ran into today and bagged up 695,000 in chips. That's good enough to claim the pole position and he'll be the man to catch on Day 3.

He wasn't the only man to have himself a great day today. Right out of the gate, EPT Snowfest Season 7 champion Vladimir Geshkenbein stormed to the top of the leaderboard. He made quads, he smashed trips with a straight and also had his kings hold up in a big three-way all-in pot against AundefinedQundefined and pocket jacks. All of his run-good combined with some very solid play meant he was just about as unstoppable as one could be in a poker tournament. After entering the day with 201,600 in chips, Geshkenbein finished on 675,500, which is good enough for second place overall.

 Finishing in 113th place was EPT London Season 7 champion David Vamplew. His kings failed to hold up against Heinz Kamutzki's queens and he was out the door empty-handed.

Good luck Marc.

Be rather good to watch "animal on animal" when he clashes with some of those aggro lads.

Stumbled across this young man when my ukipt table broke and I got moved opposite him.

I look him up at break. Kid has one of the sickest poker ''life's'' I think I've ever come across. (not Cody esque but still)

Considering his online volume he's either one of the sickest players to have ever graced the felt, or he's the biggest luckbox alive.

Either way, GL to him and Marc! gettttt

Railtards just took the chip lead

 850,000

Vul for David vamplew ,kings beaten by queens ,is there a case for folding into the money there ?

Doubt i'd be folding kings at any point.

GL to Tim Bettingen also

No me either

yeh, think he bubbled something else big recently, and tweeted before the event "please don't bubble" !

the guy won a million in the london ept, my heart aint bleeding for him just yet

Marc up to 1.2m and c/l once again

From Pokerstarsblog, seems a bit odd...

 Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst and EPT Berlin Season 6 champion Kevin MacPhee just had a big preflop clash on the feature table that saw MacPhee double to 870,000.

According to Anton Wigg, Selbst raised to 17,000 and then MacPhee made it 37,000 from the button. Selbst made it 86,000 and MacPhee five-bet to 131,000 with 294,000 behind. Selbst jammed all in and MacPhee went into the tank. He thought for about 10 minutes before finally making the call.

"Do you have ace-jack?" asked Selbst.

"No, ace-nine," responded MacPhee.

The look on Selbst's face was along the lines of "what the heck is going on here" as she turned over the 4♦4♠. MacPhee's hand was the A♣9♥.

The flop, turn and river ran out A♦8♠6♥Q♦A♠ and MacPhee's 425,000 turned into 870,000 with the double. Selbst dropped back to 525,000 or so and was left shaking her head a bit.

from pokernews.com

We are in danger of Marc Wright running away with this tournament as he is now up to 1,400,000 chips. He got his stack in with {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} against the Slovakian electricity company owner Jan Bendik's {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and by the river the board read {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, gifting Wright a flush and eliminating Bendik

Wouldn't know whose balls were bigger out of these 2 , maybe have to ask liv ? Or try the old crocodile Dundee trick ?

UKIPT in Notts you get people wearing CP goggle jackets with the hood on.

EPT Berlin you get Thorson wearing a stone island top with the badge off.

Class , hope he wins.

:)

I would like to think it is the former but almost certainly one of the biggest luckboxes alive. The box was running low though so I only managed a 34th here but it is safe to say there are still a number of "weaker" players left in. On to Monte Carlo :)

PS don't ruin my flying under the radar routine please

ha, so you quote someone giving you props

Not sure if this is kind of out of line or you want to keep it personal or whatever, but do you mind telling us your story?

I've played with you a few times, and a couple times at Gutshot, mainly the Monday after you binked the sunday mill. Your mate told me your story which seemed incredibly sick, but not too sure how much/if any of it was fabricated!!

No, I don't mind. As someone said I obviously wasn't too serious when I quoted being giving props lol.

Go to bank to extend over draft > Deposit $300 online > Play a load of MTT satellites to the Sunday mil/ Warm up > Collect T$ > Forced to play it because last satellite finishes during the million > Win it

Then just really played Sundays and WCOOPs/SCOOPs and a few live events and binked more than my fair share. I plan on putting in a lot more volume though and seeing where I go from here.

Good luck to Marc and if anyone sees/recognises me at an event please say hi, it would be nice to meet some of you.

Post more, Mr PVAS.

Go win it Marc, all the best.

Indeed Tikay.

Grats on all your binks Paul. Sigh ul on your bust out from Berlin, still a nice spin up though. :)

All the best to Marc today! Go show them your well and truly OI! glgl

I can't post in the Staking Board so can someone please pass on my GO GO GO GO GO GO regards...

naeraly down to single figures now and the really big wonger!

Crazy to think you would have had to come top 3 to beat ukipt money this week!

Hi has any one got a link to this so that i can follow progress?

Cheers

Steve

not sure of the hand, but marc is right back in contention up to 2.45m   cl 3.9   11 left




EDIT he spiked a 7%er AJ v AQ aipf jack river

pure skillz ;)  TID

You can't teach talent like that on the training ground...

Yeah,played on Pauls table at GSOP Manchester, defo got flair...I too would like to hear more.

Apologies if this puts a negative spin on this thread, but remember somewhere reading a controversial thread about Marc Wright...is this the same one and has anyone got a link to the story please?

FT  weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

its history and def not warranted in this thread. Marc made a mistake, put his hands up, grinded like a king has been paying back as he goes (no idea where he is up to), binked for many blondes along the way and hopefully is gonna win 800 large and be back where he should be

GLGL marc!

All the best you one of the sickest online grinders on stars atm hope you ship this. gl f the haters!

(http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/marc_wright_ept8ber_d4w.jpg)

"Marc Wright led coming into today, then lost that huge pot to the excitable Kilickeser. It risked sending Wright into self-destruct mode but, in a sign perhaps that he had moved on from the fate that took him from chip leader to the rail in one circuit during the Irish Poker Open two weeks ago, Wright recovered, reaching his first EPT final in his first EPT."

"On the other table Marc Wright was losing half of his stack, reduced to less than 1.5 million in a hand against Bahadir Kilickeser who showed a set of eights to Wright's top pair, and is now chip leader.

Wright was cross with himself, talking out loud, telling himself what he should have done. He was powerless as the hand played out. Kilickeser let out a "yes!" as did a man who came out of nowhere to pat Kilickeser on the back. They come out of the woodwork in these deep situations. "

I assume there will be a Live stream of the final tomorrow, links to www.pokerstars.tv when they come up

+1 this negative energy can gtfo plz.

That's a bit harsh. Lee is perfectly entitled to ask

goodluck to Marc tomorrow!

yh agreed. gtfo

Wow missed this totally, GL to him even though he was an arse to me way back  :D

wow. Didn't think i could like the guy any more.. I was wrong!

I should say Rich...
Firstly I wasnt sure if it was the same Marc Wright & secondly and most importantly I don't remember what hes supposed to have done that was controversial and still don't.
I remember glancing over something, but as you all know I'm very much part time on here.

Does that mean if Blatch has a big win eveyone will be rooting for him toooo!

can we just keep this shit off the thread

you done nothing wrong in asking, Hes a hard lad to dislike though! Gl marc get those debts paid off!

I would root for anyone on blonde even solaris !

Well, I still don't know what he's supposed to have done & don't have the time to read up, but it can't be that bad if regs on here are supporting him, so best of British.

wow, slight over reactions to a reasonable question?

Good luck Marc, been impressed by the way he has tried to handle things since he let himself down and hope he scoops the lot.

Proved em all wrong ... Get it won !
Gl : )
