Title: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 01:30:20 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!!!!

Pokerstars party. Please do not fret though because I am on the picture uploading case and will succeed!!
Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: Chili on December 10, 2007, 11:16:23 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. Play started rather promptly at 12.02 pm. Also ***** BREAKING NEWS****** from 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) "It's bloody expensive here!!" He informs us that 4 vodka's and a bowl of soup in the Hilton 24 hour cafe cost £70!!! Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 11:24:30 AM Marc Karam, the former Grand Final Runner-Up, is off to a flier, he raised a 300 bet to 800 on a Kc Qd 9s flop, raised a 500 bet to 2,500 on the Ahrt turn, before having his 4,000 bet called on the Jh river by his female opponent. "Flopped it," was the almost inaudible phrase muttered as he turned over Jd Td to take a big early pot.

Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: Chili on December 10, 2007, 11:31:14 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.

There is a well known Czech over here answering by the name of Pavel Blatny from Brno who is a semi pro poker player and qualified on Pokerstars for $8 or some such. He is also a 4 time Czech Master of Chess!!! Blatant chance at getting some puns in!
Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 12:01:16 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 (pictured below - and 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?

Good luck to all Blondes playing today. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: Chili on December 10, 2007, 12:10:11 PM How is it possible for people to get there near 10,000 chips all in after a boring flop when faced with only a 1,200 bet in the first level?? This guy was not even a scandie nor below the age of 40 AND whilst I am recovering from dehydration and am grumpy, have you ever been faced with a player so annoying you want to call his all in bet just in the hope that he can leave the table? Listening to music (loud) whilst sliding your head in a side to side motion is not a good look to be all in with!

Good luck to all Blondes playing today. Yes it is nice to see and reckon they should just make the 500 capacity by tomorrow. The lower entry of course attracts people and maybe even Prague itself having an alure to restless poker players.

Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 12:34:01 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.

If I was ever annoyed about the smoking ban last July taking away our rights and telling us what to do bla bla, then I take it all back right now. I had forgotten what it feels like to have smoke in your face all the time and the smell of cigarettes on your clothes when you take them off at the end of the night.
Anyhow, amazingly you can even smoke in the arena where the EPT is being played! Not actualy at the tables themselves but in the gangway going down the middle of the tables. Just as I typed that Chris came back from the room to say they made an announcment NOT to smoke in the tournament area from now on. Haha bad beat for the smokers ;bumwiggle; Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 01:25:49 PM Arnaud Mattern bets 1,875 on the river of a 7s 8d 9d 7h 3s board, Jeff Kimber calls but mucks when he sees Arnaud's 7d Td.
On a board of K-Q-8-3-7, a player (we're still waiting for the tournament lists) bets 1,850 into Marc Karam who says, "King-Queen or Jack-Ten?" (I'm guessing he can beat the latter). He makes the call with Kd 6d which gets an insta-muck from his opponent. There's a shout and a groan from a centre table which attracts reporters like flies to blobs of jam, turns out just to be a Qc Kh Kd 4c Ac board with Ks Kc and Ahrt Aspades being the hands. Shame it was all-in preflop. I saw a huge number of blue chips in the centre on a Kh 5s 4s board, one player had bet 1,500 only to have his erstwhile opponent move in behind him eventually he made the call and an expectancy. The re-raiser all-in showed Qh Qd whilst the player who had made the call turned over Ks Tc which held for a 18k pot. We're just on a short-break while players get some food, but apparently there is NO proper dinner break so we will just be playing straight through all the way meaning we'll be finished by 9pm tonight. The leanest EPT in history?

5h 4d Ad it was checked twice Turn: Js check check again River: 9s Katja checked but matey made a 2,250 bet. Katja picked up a chunk of blue 1k chips and threw in 6 of those in total. Matey called rather quickly already deciding that Katja didn't have an Ace, with Kh Kc which was good against Katja's Th Ts.

Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on December 10, 2007, 02:34:12 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."

Arnaud Mattern 8,600 Jeff Kimber 10,200 Dave Penly 7,600 ("had an accident" he says that's what he gets for calling a raise with J6 spades but gets suckered in with a K 9 6 board, 2 spades. He didn't improve though and 6 was no match for pocket Aces!" Bengt Sonnert 11,500 Rolf Slotboom 16,900 (his tictacs are getting closer to his nose) Julian Thew 4,400 Christoffer Egemo Hansen 15,600 Katja Thater 5,400 Gunnar Ostebrod 13,600 Jonas Molander 12,300 Johnny Lodden 9,500 Markus Golser 10,600 (nice jacket, picture proof to follow).

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.

"......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......" Let me enlarge upon this: Our largest expenditure in blonde - by a long way - is on Live Updates, & we are, rightly I feel, proud of them, their interactivity, humour & community feel are as good as it gets, even though, technically, we lag behind the deep-pocketed big Sites who have some lovely bells & whistles. They will, by the way, always remain "free to view". We run blonde with extreme financial prudence - we have never borrowed or had an overdraft, & we never will. So until we find replacement Sponsors following the successful 12 months we had from our good friends at DTD, we are being cautious in the planning of our 2008 Update Schedule. We have to - sending Updaters to Prague & Monte Carlo & The Bahamas is well expensive, even though we don't pay the Updaters anything like they deserve. And, oddly, we find that our traffic is very high for most Domestic Updates which are, of course, cheaper to cover. We have already decided to cover almost all of the blonde Festivals in Ireland in 2008 - there are about 4 scheduled so far. We are, in fact, still developing our own Update bells & whistles, to create Updates which are, if not technically up wth the Big Boys, still good entertainment. This in itself shows our long-term committment to blonde Live Updates. So, it's still very possible (probable I'd say) that we will cover all the 2008 EPT's & such-like, but it just depends on what Sponsorship packages we secure. We are talking to numerous parties on this, & it's late in the day because we were unsure what route, if any, DTD wished to take with us in 2008. We will NOT be covering the WSOP or WPT again, in the near-term, but that's nothing to do with money, it's because they just treat us, & more importantly, our Staff, badly, & expect us to pay them fortunes for the right to part-Update their Events. They can whistle. We are free-to-view, & so should they be. So, bear with us while we negotiate our 2008 Sponsorship Deals, & maybe the EPT's can all still be covered by blonde. I hope we can. In the meantime, a big thanks to DTD for their invaluable support in 2007, & also to all of our Updaters who, without exception, have been magnificent. I hope this fully explains our caution in scheduling our 2008 Update Schedule. Now, lets get back to Prague, & enjoy!

You had him on the alphabetical list in an earlier post. Cheers, Stu Ask, and ye shall receive. James only has around 4k though.

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 - Interactive Post by: Chili on December 10, 2007, 05:54:15 PM Bumped into Annette Obrestad just now who was eyeing up her posible opposition and rueing the fact that it appears alot more "known" players will be playing tomorrow and on her table. I asked her if she enjoyed Paris and her eyes lit up and said "The cash games are awesome, playing a 5 / 5 table with crazy players pulling up 10K was great!" She assured me she ended up a winner and may even spend a week playing cash in Paris "during the WSOP perhaps in the summer."
Which led to my question of "Oh yeah, I forgot you are not old enough to play there, when will you be able to go?" Annette - "Not till the summer of 2010." Jeez, that sounded so so far away for her.......Oh well, being the queen of Europe may be some consolation at the moment, the US of A will have to wait.

Well, I found him and just bokked him. A matey had made it 2.5k preflop and Ken rerasied by the popolar method of, tall tower of blue 1k chips placed over the line. This was effectively putting matey all in.
The dwell came but he couldn't lay down Ac Qs. Lennard turned over 8d 8h to be ahead but an A on board doubled up matey and sent Ken Lennaard down to 15k.

In Baden he was the only person to hold a percentage of Julian Thew, 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 Thater 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.

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 immediately and the high number of people we've never seen before. Tomorrow should be easier, we hope.

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. My one sick move of the day i'm so glad he raised after check check on the flop allowed me to make a much stronger looking move with A6 of clubs which may of had a few outs if it went wrong and i got called.

Could you give me some information about my friend : Beser Altug 18 2 Turkey I will be glad..... Thanks a lot... You are doing great job Afraid he didn't make it through judging from the chip counts. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: JaffaCake on December 11, 2007, 03:45:26 AM I don't see many big big names in the list for today although Natalio Jose Camacho Casado seems quite meaty. We've got a photo of that nobody Jeff 'Jaffafish' Kimber, but surely your viewing public deserves a picture of one of the biggest names of poker?... No wonder the dog got left in Luton and the A Team got send to Prague. As ever, great updates Snoops Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: JaffaCake on December 11, 2007, 03:48:40 AM In more amusing news, there had to be a semi-table redraw when all FIVE Betsson players, including 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), Henning (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=575) Granstad (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=575), and Gunner Osterbrod (pictured below - and 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? Why would this re-draw happen? Is it because 5 people from the same stable can't be trusted not to collude? Or because Betsson have some sort of right to seeding to keep some of their players apart in the early stages? Same happened first time I played a tourney in the Bellagio, three of us excitedly entered together, looking forward to the new experience of the best cardroom in the world, we ended up sat in a line on the same table like we were playing a home game back in blighty, bah Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: riverrobbert on December 11, 2007, 01:12:40 PM A friend of my is playing today. His name is Yannic Mulder and he's playing on table 38 seat 6. Could you give me some updates about his chipcount and probably a picture of him in action too? Would be really great!
