blonde poker forum

Hello - Jen here, in one of our classic impromptu press corners, at the back of the restaurant area.  Announcements are coming thick and fast about the nearly sold-out event which will be starting shortly.  The MC is saying "who dares to play a one-hand satellite?  Come on!  Only a few seats left!" and there is a busy atmosphere with lots of recognisable faces... All efforts to get Tikay to play a single table satellite have failed, and we'll be bringing news live as soon as the players get going.

The open-plan Holland Casino Amsterdam is a pleasant environment, and our last minute press allowance (thanks to Caroline Westerling) means that we have pretty free rein to wander and get our counts and stories.  Pics must be supervised, however, so please bear with us until we can collar a supervisor.

you've aged Jen

looking forward to the update....

is it raining, as usual in Amsterdam in November?

any time to wander?
 

Apparently unusually, the players are only just now starting the draw, but the dealers are sat in their seats ready to go.  It's one of those tables-in-surprising nooks kind of places, with some right behind our computer area, some in The Pit and some around the main room.  The announcer is busy trying to sell the remaining six seats with the proclamation that the prize pool is now "over one and a half million dollars."

Hi Tight End, as soon as the blonde enclave loses the players currently using my laptop, I will look like my old self again...#

No it was straight from the airport again, with five minutes to check into the marvellous Owl Hotel and then set up over here.  I do appear to have accidentally booked myself an extra day, however, so some wandering may yet be accomplished.

hello, who's there then?
any of the big names?

That's better!  Yes we have just been sat with Dave Colclough and Tony G, and the expected Noah Boeken, Mel Judah, Julian Thew, Juha Helppi, Woody Deck, Joe Beevers, John Gale, John Shipley, Rob Hollink, John Duthie, Alan McLean are all here too.  Luke Smith, Jon Kalmer, Roy Brindley.  Ok that's enough for me to be finding seats for at the minute...

Hi Jen,

Say hello to Thomas "Buzzer" Bihl for me if you see him please - 7th there last year and I've got a %  8)

Have fun in the 'Dam on your day off - I can recommend the Pedal-boats on the canals just be careful you don't wander onto the main commercial canal like we did or you might get sunk by a large tug :D Oh, and some of the bridges have next to zero clearance! A must for any trip to the 'Dam

Loads of good vibes to Mr Beevers

Hi Jen, have a good one and good lucK to the blondes

good luck all

glad to see you looking like your young self again jen

ruru r u going to blackpool??

Doubt I'll make it to Blackpool mate - got a lot on these days so I won't be going anywhere until St. Kitts. I assume you are?

nah cant go to st kitts no passport

but i am going to blackpool for some spaggettii

hi all

any chance of updates on jeff buffenbarger would be great jen ( should have a baseball cap on with M on the front   plus he is american)

thx

good luck tonight jen on blue sq

will be cheering u on

Play has commenced, unfortunately just as we have been moved to a new, powerless corner.  So we'll either find a new place or there might be a quiet moment in about an hour and a half as our batteries collectively fail.

Hi Jen/Tikay

Thanks for your efforts.

I wondered if you could find out if Red-Fox (malcolm mckinlay) is playing today.

Cheers

The Bear

Please ask The Camel if his lucky socks are coming in useful

Aah, jealous not to be there but how nice not to deal with all that crap. Best of luck to all the Brits and especially Joe/Ram/Ross and Skalie!

balloo red fox in amsterdam? mucky pup

but if he sat at a table wish him the best (he cant play poker but he is a lucky son of a gun)

Cheers 77Dave (who incidentally I see just put up your 77th post).  I will have a look for your guys as soon as we're settled.  I think it may be too much to hope for a list of entrants, but I'll do my best to find out if they're here.  Just a little moment's patience as we move again.

red fox might be wearing a blondepoker cap (which i was extremely jealous he had and i hadnt gotten one last time we met)

RedFox is aberdeens only representative. Iris had hoped to make it back from the Tournament Of Champions in vegas but her flight had been hit by lightning on the way home so she will be playing the fiver rebuy in the international tonight instead.

i thought it was  £10 rebuy on a wednesday?

Come on the other Robert, still waiting YOUR tournament report and updated league 8)

Malcolm McKinlay and Jeff Buffenburger are both here, along with:

Keith The Camel Hawkins (complete with amazingly lovely pics of little Jake in QPR jumper)
Simon Trumper
John Kabbaj
Jon Shoreman
Isabelle Mercier
Kiril Gerasimov
Marcel Luske
Jani Sointula (early chip leader after an AA vs KK situation which eliminated Michel Abecassis)

John Gale OUT

More to follow (there are actually four separate areas including part of the Salon Prive in which Roy Brindley and Patrik Antonius were hiding)

We have just "walked" the whole arena, & Jen is now busy inputting a list of big names.

I gather John Gale is OUT.

SO also found:

Simon Hennessey and Mike Tse, of Gutshot notoriety
Angelo Besnanou
Jim Reid
Ross Boatman
The American Jeffrey Bensinger
Abel Meijberg
Carlo Citrone
Bruno Fitoussi
Skalie (Jon Kalmer)

Gwibbo - Nottingham Nick Gibson is here and sends a message to Anna - his mobile is out of juice (apparently) but he's here and well and says hi.

Stuart Fox is also here, minus facial hair which made it briefly hard to recognise his cheeky smile... we're heading for the end of level one - might be time for a little chip counting.

Just saw The Camel lose with 57 vs 34 (which hit a pair of threes).  I've been told it does lose sometimes...

El Blondie has busted out with AA every day this week, but he's just got them through, & is up to 17k. About time, too.

have you played at all this week Tikay?

Message for "Surprise", who is Isabelle Mercier's Mum. Isabelle, who we profiled on :oker 425 last week, & is the subject of this week's Caption Competition, looks gorgeous, she is wearing spectacles today. Men DO make passes at Lady's who wear glasses. Trust me.

So they started with 10k in chips, and hour levels.  So Dave up there with the early leaders.  I think that must mean it's time to look for the other ones.  And Malcolm McKinlay.

Dave prefers to slow play aces so they will get beaten a good few times!!

Hi Tighty, yes, I played Sunday, 270 runners, but I busted out in the 90's when my 88 was turned over by A-7. I did not have enough chips to get him off his hand, he was kind of pot committed, so I don't treat it as a bad beat, I needed a bigger stack, & if I'd had one, he'd have not called my RR.

I could not play Monday's Omaha, it was a 2 day event, & I had to go back to Lonsdn on Tuesday & record 425. So I played cash Monday night, & won just over €2,200. (a lot for me!). When I got back from London last night, I played cash again, but dropped €700.

Jen has gone off to get some chip counts now.

Hi ifm, yes, Dave likes to get cute with AA, but in Limit, which he played yesterday, it's hard to get rid of opponents, as you know.

Simon Trumper did great yesterday, finishing 2nd in the Omaha, after winning the same comp last year. Some performance.

Rob Holink did even better, playing two comps at the same time. He finalled in the Omaha, & won the Limit!

There is a tremendous quality field here today, maybe the best field we have seen in Europe this year since Copenhagen.

The entire Hendon Mob, Devilfish, El Blondie, Tony G, Bruno, Hollink, Carlo, Aces Trumper, Camel, Marcel, Thewy, Gwibbo, Skalie, Isabelle, Sverre Sunbro, Frogi Fagilierefrofogi (he's Norweigan, a "Norseman), Pascal Perrault, Ivo Donev, Jani Sointula, & loads loads more.

No sign of Willie Tann though, or Milky Bar Kid.

Roy The Boy Brindley, who is the feature interview on this weeks Poker 425, is here too.

Paul Parker is here, looking magnificent in a black, wide pin-striped suit. Super Cool Paul. We are officially not allowed to take pics, but we are working on the lady, I am giving her the full tikay charm offensive. No pics then. Yet......

My fellow criminals from Moscow, Ted Giddens & Racing Ronnie de Beaulox, turned up here on Monday night, they came by via Dover on the ferry. I saw them both at the bar last night, but I've not spotted either since.

You do mix with some bad 'uns  :D

Afternoon Jen and Tikay,

Escaping the boredom of Hammersmith with your updates :)

Ta as ever :)

Heid

Carlo Citrone      9,750
Chicken Joe      9,200
Ross Boatman   10,600

Ahh Heid, Hammerswith, W6? Is the Palais still there?  And the Shepherds Bush Empire? Happy Memories. Joe Loss used to be based at the Palais, & Very Lynn, Charlie Drake & other Superstars of the early eighties were often at The Empire. Happy days.

I also spotted Jon Shoreman, who finalled in the Limit yesterday. Also Tim & Pippa Flanders on adjacent tables.

And Ian McDonald from Notts. I'm not sure if Tristram, his son is here, he generally runs well in Amsterdam.

If he is watching, a big hi from loads & loads of us to Bob Coombes, we look forward to seeing you out & about soon Bob.

Just saw DC facing the button with a board of  Ks Qh 8h 2h Qd.  He bet out 1,200 on the river and after a lengthy dwell, his opponent passed, only to be shown what looked like  Jc 9s from where I was standing.  But it may have been suited.

They turned the Palais into a skanky club, but recently turned it back :)

I am between H'smith and Olympia :)

By the scrummy Persian Restaurants :)

Don't forget, Jen is playing her online Unusual Suspects comp tonight on Blue Square at 8.30pm UK, so she is popping back to the hotel to play it. So we will be a bit thin on quality updates for a few hours, but then again, I expect you all to be sweating Jen in the chat box - hint hint.......

can't she multi-task? I'm told ladies are good at that....she gets you to do her running and in between folds/bluff re-raises she updates the chip counts...call yourselves professionals?!?  :D

Robert - that's Robert from THM, not Robert HM (confused?), feel free to update your guys on your site as & when. Assuming they don't bust out. Ram is on the sort of feature table right now.

Tighty - you want me to RUN? What?

Hi to Charmaine, & At-It. Bet you wish you were here.

Amsterdam is a beautiful city, but it's grey & it's raining & it's cold.

I've also seen Nic Szeremata and his stunningly beautiful daughter, Kate.

Cheers Tony, are you sure the entire Mob are there? I didn't realise Barny was coming back from the TOC to play, just thought it was the other three?

And to Robert-HM - on their way!

We are staying at The Owl Hotel, a sort of homely cross between a B & B and an Hotel. Cooked breakfast consists of Boiled Eggs, Eggs (Boiled), & Boiled eggs. We are all egg-bound now.

I recommend Amsterdam to anyone. The Airport is huge, & beautifully designed, puts the UK Airports to shame. The City Centre has a nice mixture of old & new, & I went past Eva Braun's house yesterday. I think she was something to do with the Second World War. The new buildings are astonisinghly well designed, & architectural mastepieces. Lots of bikes here, millions of them. All the taxis are Mercedes.

Oh, & the Hotel has a one-eyed cat. We call it Kiv.

Robert - apologies, you are correct. One of the Boatmans IS missing. The one that IS here is the one with sausage fingers.

the airport is horrible, i once spent 8 hours there after my connecting flight was cancelled coming home from Seattle

Hi Tikay,
Glad you're back .
How's Isabelle doing ?

ifm, it's a damned sight nicer than Moscow Airport. I'm in a "be nice to Airports" mode at the moment, it may just help me avoid the odd problem here & there......

OK, Jen is walking the floor, & she's on her way back, so I'm off to get some chip counts.

We are on our third office of the afternoon, after being evicted from the first two, but big thanks to to Caroline Westerling, Communications & Marketing Director of Casino Holland, for allowing us access.

Poker 425 were due to be here, but permission was withdrawn when Casino Holland realised that Poker 425 were associated withn an online Card-Room. Bizarrely, Online Card-Rooms are illegal in Holland, but "live" Casinos are OK providing they are owned by the Government. as Casino Holland is. Uniquely.

Hi Surprise, Isabele Mercier has 18,200. Jen has a huge list of Chip Counts, & is inputting them right now.

Hi to The Rookie, "WIN BABY WIN". Brian has just won his seat for the $10,000 Foxwoods WPT.

And to M3Boy. He's thrown Charmaine off the computer so he can watch.

We are on a 5 minute break right now.

And the players are on a break!  Which is convenient as it gives me time to give you the rest of the counts:

Tim Flanders   13,200
Marcel Luske   11,700
Sverre Sundbo 10,000 (he was singing, "Some people call me the space cowboy..." as I came to his table)
Kiril Gerasimov   8,400 (sat to Sverre's left)
Mel Judah       10,400
Ivo Donev       9,700
Edgar Skjervold 8,200
Patrik Antonius  20,000
John Duthie      3,200
Joe Beevers     11,100
Alan McLean     8,000
Dave Finney     16,000 (Sutton Coldfield resident, sat next to Thewy)
Ram Vaswani     7,200
Paul Alterman    9,100
Ian McDonald    10,800
Dennis O'Mahoney  12,000
Julian 'YoYo' Thew 14,000
Luke Smith        12,800
Keith Hawkins     7,700
Rob Hollink         8,400
Paul Testud       9,350
Tony Kessa       9,200
John Kabbaj       7,250
Ed de Haas        10,300
Frode Fagerli      9,500
Nick 'Gwibbo' Gibson  17,500 (came fourth in the Limit event yesterday - Good news for Missus, he says)
Mike Tse            6,000
Jon Shoreman    4,225
Pippa Flanders    7,025
Andreas Hagen   10,300

Quote from The Camel. "Never try & bluff a mug". Quote from Luke Smith. "I knew he was at it". Luke has 15,500, many of them, apparently, loaned from The Camel.

But I have to be nice to The Camel. He nipped me for €20 last night, but has just given me €10 back. "Minus the cost of my drink".

I have to tell you this about the Camel. He has bought 4 pics of his one month or so old Son, Jake with him, & he's shown EVERYONE the pics. Several times. He's gone all cooey wooey.

Hey... im watching !!!.... i love the live updates  :blonde: :blonde:

I've gotta start playing  7s 4c more often, Kudos!

Is malcom still in? Or did he try and trap someone again?

Hi Charmaine. Sorry no pics yet, but we ARE working on it. But we are lucky to even be in here, most of the usual Updating Teams have not been able to get in, so we can't push it too hard. But we wll get some soon, & we have a nice library of pics too, so bear with us.

Hoody-wearing Simon Hennessey got off to a less-than-perfect start with the following hand (which he'd written in great detail on a little pad- how handy for me):

Holding  Ac Kh he called a raise of 325 from an early-position raiser.  The flop was  3h 5c Ts, the guy bet 200, call.  The turn came  Kd, this time the guy bet 200 and called Simon's 800 raise.  The river brought the  4d, and Simon called 2,000 to find his opponent holding  Ah 2h for the gutshotted straight.  Seems somehow apt, considering his apparel...

But then I saw him win a couple of thousand with Aces, so he looked a little happier.

Hi Balloo  I have not found Malcolm McKinley yet, but I'll try & look him up shortly. It's VERY crowded here, & the tables are in 4 or 5 different areas.

GL all...... i unfortunately had my flight booked and was ready to come out on Mon only to become really poorly Sunday night so couldn't make it. Very annoying!

yeah where is the red fox must have blinded down to 9.2k by now

Hi to two veterans who have both tuned in, Karabiner & sixpac. Gooo the Saga Boys.

As the players went to break, I got chatting to floorman Laurens Dekker, who is a blondeite-to-be, he assures me, after asking what was meant by "gutshot" and "double belly-buster" and receiving satisfactory descriptions from me and David Lloyd.  Despite all the restrictions the staff are friendly and we don't seem to be having too much trouble sneaking up to the tables and asking our followees for their counts.

Great Updates as usual Jenn, good luck on Blue Square later !!   :)up


Jo xx

Ta very much Jo - although I wouldn't worry about the disruption to service - I am likely to be back in no time.  Thanks to Tony for his assistance with speedy connection, without which all this multitasking would be nigh on impossible.

I think Tikay's gone to get counts now, and I am sure he'll be able to find Malcolm eventually, if he's still in.  Which is more than likely.  It feels like the blind levels are three hours, but that might just be the fact that they're an hour and a half and I am a little sleep-deprived...

Veteran ???  Saga ???

Jen you must keep Tikay away from those "coffee" shops  ::)

But I can recommend Paradiso and Melkveg  :kiv:

Fingers crossed, but it looks like this corner of the bar is sufficiently out-of-the-way to have got us a settled update post, from which I can see only a wall and the side of the bar, but a few steps in the right direction lead to the Pit, where most of the action is.  Tikay's back with some more up to the minute information...

Just spotted Harry D, I missed him earlier, he is on the same table as Carlio & Pascal. Harry has 9k. He says Hi to all his fellow blondeites.

If Harry D has a particularly tough decision to make, I'm sure we wouldn't mind helping if he wants to chuck a quick thread up, answers within three minutes..six different answers, but answers anyway

ask Harry if Isobelle has emailed him again!! :D

Simon Trumper just found Tikay with a story - he's down nearly 3k after flat calling a pre-flop raise from Jani Sointula with  Ad Js.  The flop brought a Jack, and there were three successive bets which eventually saw Jani's hand as  Ac Ad, and Simon got away from it without doing any terrible damage to his stack.

When the blinds go up they announce it with a little jingle played over the tannoy system.  Very weird as the casino is otherwise musicless.  Anyway, the blinds are up.

Dedvilfish just had play stopped on his table whilst he was photographed being cuddled by 4 young "Babes". There's a novelty.

Tighty - Harry D says he has another Post to put up about a tough hand, he says we are NOT gonna like it. It really is GREAT to have Harry on board, though trying to teach Iron to play may be a bit much for even him.

Dave Finney has 14k. He's from Sutton Coldfield. I am SURE he used to be in Slade.

I befriended an American guy in the €800 on Sunday. He's David Gurevsky, & he has 8,200. We had quite a tussle on Sunday, & I really enjoyed his company.

Johan Storakers has 15,500, Tony G 8,800.

Stuart Fox has 8k.

Ram Vaswani 7k, Alan McLean 8k,Carlo 8k

I am just doing my live phone in to the 425 Sporrts Betting programme. Weird.

wasnt dave FIT finley   the guy on itv saturday afternoon wrestling

Joe Beevers OUT - Tikay managed to spot him at the bar just now despite being in the middle of the live phone-in.  Now THAT's multitasking.

In case I didn't mention how Nick Gibson's chips were suddenly looking so healthy -- they came from a steamer who lost his stack in two rapid-succession big pots.  After paying off a nut flush, the player found KK and Nick with AJ.  After the Ace came on the flop, Nick would not be moved off and collected around a 10k pot from his opponent.  He looks calm and is happily chatting away when the blonde workers file past with our notepads.

Cheer's Tikay, i'll be lurking as usual. Best of luck to everone.

Could you tell Keith that i will try and get up to see Jake in the next couple of weeks, also ask Simon to call me as soon as he is back in the UK.

I just did my Live Phone-In to the Channel 425 Sports Betting Show, I think it has the rather natty title "4/5" - 425, gerrit? Guests were Ronnie Oranni, the cricketer chappie, who's name I have mis-spelt, & John Hendrie, the Scottish footballer geezer. It was a bit difficult, to put it mildly, as it is SO noisy here, & I could not hear a word from their end. So I just blathered on for 4 or 5 minutes. as usual.

Talking of footballers, we have a certain Jan Molby playing here today. Think he used to play for Liverpool or someone, maybe even Wrexham. He's quite intelligent, as footballers go.

Poor Jen has not slept for 2 days, & she's just had a bowl of chips and fallen asleep over her keyboard. She worries me to death, there is not much of her, 6 stone wringing wet I'd say, and I do wish she'd take better care of herself. But you can't tell girlies anything, eh?

Hi sixpac, yes, I will pass both those messages on. Don't forget, we wanna see you back with us soon. And do try & come up to the blonde bash in Birmingham January 6th & 7th.

I'm back...

Wish i was there, never been to amsterdam!

Lokking forward to blackpool next week, you there tikay? Goodluck tonight Jen!

GoGo YoYo

Hi At-It,

Blackpool? Yes, I hope so. Dave is hoping to play Tuesday to Friday, & me Wednesday to Friday, but we don't know if we will get seats, as it usually sells out early, & we are not back in the UK until Sunday. We cannot play the Main Event, as we are both going to Monte Carlo, Dave to play, & me to Live Update. Should be plenty of easy money in Blackpool, Ironside will be there from Thursday onwards.

Hi sixpac, message pased on to Mathilde & Simon, they both send hugs & kisses.

Simon finished yesterday in the 240 runner Omaha, an event he won last year when there were 230 runners. And he made 5th in the big Omaha comp at this years WSOP. If he practices, he could become half handy at Omaha. I keep telling him he has to use TWO cards from his hand, but he plays it like Hold'Em.......

Dave 'El' Blondie news - I miscounted his stack by one pale pink chip (5,000) as I drifted by just now.  That means he has over 27,000 and we will hopefully find out how he's been accumulating in the dinner break which is due in five minutes.

They just cleared the Pit of all non-players in preparation for the break, but here are some counts grabbed on the way out:

Pascal Perrault   9,100
Carlo Citrone     7,800
Ross Boatman  12,600
Devilfish           4,550
Noah Boeken   29,000
Angelo Besnanou 11,500
Jeff Buffenburger 10,000
Simon Trumper  13,200 (from 6,000 just a minute ago, he said)
Jani Sointula       24,800

any word on jeff buffenbarger

I think the announcement was just made that there are 205 players remaining.  That looks about right; another two tables have broken in the last half hour.  Marcel Luske has been moved to Simon Trumper's table and says he's in "the danger zone."  I don't know if he was referring to Simon or himself (he has 15,000).

I will take a look & see how Jeff Buffenburger is  doing.

Hi everyone, keep up the good work.
Tikay, have you done any window shopping whilst youve been in Amsterdam? ;) ;)

I should have pointed out before you went looking for him that Malcolm is infact not a Redfox. He is a green one.

Jeff Buffenburger 10k (I think that list was one of those awkward end-of-page posts).

Correction - They appear to be playing, still, which rather suggests that it is not a dinner break as yet.  I must have misunderstood the Dutch announcement.

We've already had chips and mayo with a side of apple pie so I think we'll probably be skipping it, when it happens.  But maybe not...

Simon Hennessey OUT -

He found  Ah Ac on the big blind and flat called a raise to 450.  The flop came  Jh 6s 8h, at which point he thought it best to check-raise all-in.  Which was called by the unlikely  7s 9d only to find a  5c on the turn to take him out.  Just no luck today, that boy.

Our current Chip Leader seems to be Anthony Lellouche. Anthony is on about 45k. This is a LOVELY guy, French unfortunately, but he has great game, and he has his name on a big win sometime soon. He raises the table to death, raise, raise, raise, just little half raises, but he just strangles everyone. He is sat between Carlo & Harry D, with Pascal Perrault on the same table.

Tony G is in deep trouble, he's down to less than 2k after losing a monster pot.

Devilfish has around 4k.

Yoyo Thew has 10k, he's been down to the felt, up to the ceiling, & he's mid yo right now. Don't know if he's on an up Yo or down Yo though.

New level, 100-200, & Dinner Break is in 15 minutes.

Interesting information discovered in the Ladies' just now - there are big posters in there for some reason advertising the fact that the winner of the Lido also receives a Package to the WSOP worth $15,000.  That's the first I'd heard of that.  How nice.

Hi Tikay and Jen

Great updates, just wish I'd remembered about this sooner as I was bored earlier on this afternoon at work.

I'd like to know who is gonna be in Blackpool and when.  Jo and I were aiming to be there on Saturday for the biggie, but if lots of peeps are going to be there on Weds or Thurs, I may nip through for an hour or two.

Are you going to Blackpool Jen?  Will you be updating?

Good luck to all Blondes in The Dam at the mo.

Trace
xx

P.S.  Good luck tonight Jen - I'll be there cheering you on!

I just went to see Isabelle Mercier, but her table has broken, & I don't know where she is sitting now.

Hi Jen/Tikay,

Can you please give me an update on Thomas "Buzzer" Bihl......    like Ruru I also have a percentage...  

If he is out can you please give him a slap for me :D


Cheers

SHAABOOOM

Hi could you get an update on
Chris Sokrati (soxy)
Stuart Fox
and
Pete Haslam please?
Wish em luck for me

cheers

They only just announced it a couple of days ago - http://www.pokernews.com/news/2005/11/wsop-foreign-satellites.htm (http://www.pokernews.com/news/2005/11/wsop-foreign-satellites.htm)

Essentially Harrah's are doing deals all round the world to give winners of big events WSOP seats next year.

Great job as ever Jen - don't run yourself into the ground for our sake.

It's actually the dinner break now...

Hi Trace - may well be in Blackpool for a while, but sadly the end of it clashes with the Monte Carlo Millions, which are in need of updating, so we will miss the main event.  Next time.  Oh, and I'm quite excited about Monte Carlo  :D

Ali - Martin Green has 11k.

We will have to pass on the other requests for Chip Counts for a while, as it IS Dinner Break now.

Tony G has made a remarkable comeback, he's up to 5k now, & "on the tear".

Luke Smith - "The Doc12345" is now sat to Anthony Lellouche's left, & has just taken down a big pot from Anthony. This could be a great battle - Luke has position, & won't be bullied by anyone. (Except Claire).

But Anthony has busted out Carlo Citrone.

Djinn.... It must have been a hard decision.. :D

YoYo news now - he's back up to 20,000 after winning a big pot off The Camel, whose raise he called with  Qd Th, hitting one ten on the (10 7 7) flop and another on the turn, getting paid by Keith who mucked on the end.

His table has been joined by Patrik Antonius, and as far as Keith is concerned he's still in the running with around 12k but has done a few chips in the last level (according to Julian his mucked hand as described above contained a 7).

Thewy reports he is up to 20k, so the Yo is Yo-ing UP. He got AA, & was a shade unlucky when he hit his set, as his oppo had QQ! Unlucky to hit a set, eh?

I Know It - absolutely not. Been to the library, & the Museums.........

A couple more counts to tide you over the break:

Rob Hollink   12,000
Paul Testud  7,500
Tony Kessa  16,000
John Kabbaj  20,500

URGENT MESSAGE FOR JEN!!!


Blue Square have an upgrade and it's took me a while to download it, it errored first time round, so don't leave it till last minute to log in for your game just in case.

T
xx

Thanks guys for the great work

Whats the total entrants and payout structure for this? Is it due to finish tomorrow? Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere.

Cheers

The Bear

COULD SOMEONE TEXT/PHONE TIKAY AND TELL HIM TO TELL JEN ABOUT MY BLUE SQUARE POST PLEASEEEEE?

Trace - Thank You! Jen is trying to do the upgrade right now, but she only has a Vodafone Card here. She intends to play the comp on her Lappie in Tony Kessa's Hotel room at the Marriott, where they have hard-wired access.

She says "thank you"....!

By the way, Trace, can you try & assemble some Railbirds for the Unusual Suapects comp tonight, to give Jen a bit of support? I'd really appreciate that.

I'll do my very best Tikay!

Team Norsemen news, brought by pro loiterer (and Norwegian Poker Hero and TV Presenter) Sverre Sundbo:
He has 17,000
Frode Fagerli  20,000
Anders Berg  8,000
Edgar Skjervold  3,000

Ok, we are about to start again here. Don't forget to remind us 30 mins before the Blue Square Unusual Suspects comp is due to start, so I can shoo Jen away to go across the road & play it.

The players have had their one minute warning.  I'm off to finish looking at the stacks and see if anything interesting is developing back at the Kiril/Sverre or Yoyo/Camel/Patrik Antonius tables.

Thomas Bilzer please??  Buzzer   ty  ty ty

Shaa - can you remind me what Thomas Bilzer looks like please?

Buzzer taken at ept baden

M3Boy - I never realised he was here? I am SURE he is at home, with the lovely Charmaine.

Hi Guys

Good Luck Jen!

Tikay - Just catching up - any news on 'Gwibbo'

Cheers

Anna xx

Can someone tell Keith to sort it out.

Also do we know what 1st pays, more importantly what 8% of first is....lol

Jen is online and live in BS lobby and shouting for coffee  lol

There is no kettle or coffee in the room.

What is it with foreign hotels, don't they understand our need for coffee?

Anyone in Dam not busy and willing to run a coffee over to Jen, would be gratefully received  lol

Hehe you are quite amazing Trace.  Just checking back over the road to check that Tikay has it all under control.  It looked as if the security guard was planning on letting me back in after this.  Let's just hope so.

M3 has been hard at it in his office all day ( makes a change for him to do that much work )  ;)
Great updates as usual , and good luck Jen  :)up :)up
Take it east guys n gals  :respect:

Thanks Jen, but seeing what you do on here, I am no where near as amazing as you.

I'll be seeing you on Thursday next in Blackpool, a drink for you on me!

xx

Right, with Jen, gone, I'M IN CHARGE, whahoo!

Done a load of chip counts, but let's start with some really bad news, our special friend Harry D is OUT. pah!

body slammers wohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

any news on red fox


and ask harry who is giving who the lesson on thursday out already i only do that in freerolls

Marcel Luske, 20k.

Simon Aces Trumper, sat to Marcel's left, was down to 2k again, but he's back in the green zone again with 10k, after a series of confrontations, which went 4-0 in his favour. He was in a pot, & some geezer spoke out of turn "how much to me" with 3 players still to act in front of him. Well, that lost Simon his customers, & he went off on one - quite right too!

Alan Smurfit - 9.5k

Dave Colclough, 28k.

Tony G 4,500.

More....

redfox has?

Steve Jelenik 8k

Graham Hiew 5k

Jim Reid 5.4k

Skalie 22k....!

Johan Storakers 17k

Stuart Fox 12k.

More......

you just cant get the staff these days bring back jen all is forgiven

Remind me who Red Fox is - is it Malcolm McKinley? I've not seen him lately, but I'll have another look.

Frank Sinopli, from Holywood, Florida, has 42k.

Devilfish, 7k

Martin Green 10k

Kate Szeremeta 12k. The 2k attributed to her earlier was incorrect. She is VERY cute.

Pascal Perrault 11k

Anthony Lellouche 47k

Warned you already Iron - I'm in charge now.  :tikay: :redcard: :redcard:

OH NO


I take it you havent seen thomas BUZZER bihl   :-(

oi - how did that old man smiley get there? I'm SURE I never pressed his button.

Wish Martin Green luck from me please Tikay

hey tikay carefull or i might not tell you the password for the next blonde comp

yes malcolm he is the one thats got a blonde cap and i aint

will do Dubai. Why ain't you & dpommo here?

Ok, just seen a monster pot between Luke Smith (TheDoc12345) & Chicken Joe Kuomi. Or it may be his brother. This was the, err, slightly larger one.

They get isolated pre-flop, & it goes like this.

 8d 9c Th

Check check.

 2h

Check check.

 7s

At this point, Luke mini-raises, Joe RR'd, Luke mini RRR'd, then all hell lets loose, & all the chips go in.

Luke turns over  Js Qd

Joe turns over....

 Jd Qs

"Coffee" in Amsterdam is probably an  euphemism(nb Tikay) for hashish, if the coffee shops are anything to go by  :dontask:

We have demanding girlfriends Tikay!

dont make me laugh

Lol

how much they demand?

kivs normally cost £150 for 24 hours

Well sometimes its £250 an hour :)

lap dancers are much cheaper and the good thing is if you finish off the job in hand after the dance you are not likely to catch anything

Never mind that Jen, Ace Reporter tikay here........

What happened to BOGOF

:redcard:

John Shipley 9k

Bruno Fituoissi 23k

Mr Foujan, another Froggy, 45k

Mel Judah 14k

Thewy 24k

Patrick Antonius 23k

Camel 9k

Pippa Flanders, much the better player of the Flanders Hubbie & Wife team, has 19k, after she busted Jon Shoreman who had  Ah As with her  Jh Js and flopped the set.

How many left? How many chips does Ram have?

Hello again

ANy chance of a count on Pete Haslam and Chris Sokrati - chris was on table 11 after the dinner break. Don know petes. May aswel have a Stu Fox re count at the same time too if poss !! Cheers guys, doin a great job!!

Jen is on her way back!


Unlucky hun.

About 180 left, maybe a few less.

Ram Vaswani, missing his new arrival, has 6k

Tony Kessa has 16k

Paul Alterman has 17k

Simon Trumper 5k

Noah Boaken 33k

Marcel 19k, with his trademark huge pile of low-denom chips.

Tony, can you ask around the locals and see if anyone knows of a good centre half for Championship Manager 2001?

Thanks in advance

Jen out? No, say it ain't so.......... She SO wanted to do well in that. She's been "3 outered" so many times. I ache for her. It's so nice when a "regular player" gets a shot at the big time, especially someone as self-effacing and nice as Jen, she's golden. Well, maybe a sponsor will take a look at her now. I hope so.

Top man Tikay many thanks....

Can you tell both Buzzer and Martin Green I wish them well


Cheers

Never mind that bobby, i DO know a good referee for your silly game. :redcard: :redcard:

Hi Tikay    ;)

Any news on Nick??

Cheers Anna xx   

Thewy story. Mr x tells him "player Y has a tell, if he looks straight ahead, he is bluffing".

So, Thewy has  As Ks, board comes  3h Qh 5s 7s  Kh

My Y bets & looks straight ahead.

Thewy calls 5k.

Mr Y turns over  Ah 6h for the nuts..........

Anna, I will go & see if I can find Nick. And I will try & find Pete Haslam (that Bullit Pete?) & Chris Sokrati, also Foxy.

Meanwhile,the Sporting Odds.com qualifier Ken, has 16k, and is having a BALL.

Kevin Hofland

yes thats bullitpete cheers

Jen is back, so I apologise for the reduction in service from here on in........

Cheers Tikay... U R A   *g

for some strange reason there are a few good scotish players in 2001 i think james lagfield is a promising goalie steven milne a good striker and alan archibald a top class CD i am sure thats 2001

Can you see if Isabelle is still there ?

No sign of Isabelle I'm afraid...

Yes that was short and sweet - jp and ricky still in it, although blinds already 150-300 so fingers a bit crossed...

Scratch that - 200-400 - yikes! I am surreptitiously lurking to see how they do (and grumpy who I just noticed).  Gl to them, just trying to catch up with the action here and there's plenty of it.  Tables breaking fairly rapidly now.

what about the sly old red fox

Correction - Just because I didn't see Isabelle during my breathless rush back in doesn't mean she's not there - Tikay found her on 24,000!!

tell tikay to put his eyes back in

But Simon Trumper is OUT........

El Blondie 16k

Martin Green 17k

Stuart Fox 22k

Tony G 2k. Apparently he tried to bluff Isabelle, but she was not buying.

Devilfish 7k

I just can't find Nick Gibson, but that does not mean he's out. Jen is off to do a full Update of all the names, & lets wait till she is back.

did you ask jen to ask about cm2001

No!

I refuse to discuss childrens games on here. Unless it's subbuteo.

Burnley John is out of the BS FGR League!

subbueto is CM for people who lived before electricity

Hi
No joy with bullitpete and Chris Sokrati's counts?

We were warned NOT to take pics unless we had the Director from Casino Holland with us, & I can't find her.

But there ARE 2 or 3 guys snapping away down there, so maybe I'm gonna take a chance & try taking a few pics. If i get caught, I'll say it was a misread, I thought it was my i-Pod I was using.

LOL

Did you flick or push though Tikay?

Promising Scottish goalie OMFG  :blonde:

I was more of a flicker, we awarded free-kicks for push throughs.

Players are on a short break - here's the first half of the counts:

Marcel Luske   25,000
Jani Sointula   17,200
Paul Alterman 17,000
Julian Thew    26,000
Ram Vaswani   5,700
Tony G           1,700
Isabelle Mercier 23,000
Rob Hollink       20,000
Stuart Fox       17,500
Jim Reid          16,000
Graham Hiew     2,000
Dave Colclough 17,300
Kate Szeremeta  9,200
Patrik Antonius  42,000
Devilfish            4,000
Edgar Skjervold  13,000

I'll challenge anyone at subbuteo for any amount up to a tenner. :D

Thank you very much for the chips count,
and keep up the GOOD WORK.
I feel better now . 

Patrik Antonius is quite possibly the best player in Europe imo. HUGE online winner, and a terrific live record to date.

We play down to 10 tables, OR 0230 (Hollandish time) on Day One..

...and it's 23.20 here now.....

How many tables or players left ?

Still looking for Bullit Pete & Chris Sokrati, though I don't know the latter.

Patrick Antonius best player in Europe? Don't know about that, but he's sure hot. There was a GRRAt tussle between him & Thewy earlier, & Antonius was the guy who hit the nut flush against Thewy, when Thewy was a non-believer.

He has won more online than any other player in Europe.

Hi Tikay & Jen

Thanks 4 all the updates... Nick has just texted, he has 19k

Good luck all

LOL

A xx

Definitely the best online player. He plays the biggest games at ALL the online sites, Limit/No Limit holdem, PL Omaha. The guy is the guv'nor

Won over $3million online in 3 years.

Thanks Anna - did you ask him where he is? I've been looking for him for hours, & you give us his chip counts from home!

I'm gonna have to give that Jen a good slap. Chilli - get your butt over here.

but is he as good as Ironside???? now thats the question

Didnt he win the EPT in Baden after anteeing half his stack by turning up 6 hours late??

NOW THAT IS CLASS!

Dave Colclough is OUT. No details. He's seriously out of form, but it will change soon. I hope.

Just got a text from Red Fox he says he has Marcel and Simon T on his left and that was it !

Any idea of his chip count would be nice.....you prob will find him easier, he is the Red Fox on the right of Marcel

no ironside hasnt played outside of the UK

we send a team over to forgien land and have to get text fropm the players for info tikay your fired

Cheers for the updates guys-great job as ever. Has buzzer doubled up yet? That 9k from earlier seemed quite big for some reason 8)

So here's half two, with omissions being researched as I type by Tikay -

Tony Kessa        6,000
John Kabbaj      18,000
Bruno Fitoussi     35,000
Pippa Flanders    27,200
Pascal Perrault      9,000
Anthony Lelluche 47,000
Luke Smith          18,000
Mel Judah            12,000
Noah Boeken       46,000
Angelo Besnanou   4,200

Was that my butt Tikay & is it chilly?!?  :D

Am getting flight on Friday afternoon - so will see you at 8ish Amsterdamage time

LOL

A xx

Guess what - I've found Red-Fox. He's to the right of Marcel Luske.......

4k.

Happy now?

With about 145 players left, word is that we are finishing at 2.30am tonight (1.30 UK time) or when it reaches 100 players.

Sorry about the lack of detecting of Red Fox, not for want of trying.  Now we know where he is, you will be updated. 

has he played a hand yet

tell him iris is stealing his blinds in the international so better hurry up and get a rebuy

Hi Tikay,

Sorry for walking out a little unhappy. I had my kings run into aces and shortly after my aces ran into kings which got cracked. Have vacated my room and got a flight back to London. Am now at home and calm enough to say "worse thing happen at sea".  Good luck all blondites and see you in Walsall.

Unlucky Denis - that's horrible.

Now, I've had a productive wander.

Bullit Pete - sat to Ram's right - 13k.

Chris Sokrati - thin faced, dark tously hair, mid twenties? If so, 3k.

Paul  Alterman 9k

Thewy 24k

Tony Kassa, in Bet Direct colours today, 13k.

Ram, 6k.

Before Shaa asks again, how's Buzzer doing?  :D

Thomas "Buzzer" Bihl has just met with an accident, when his  Js Jh collided with  Kc Kd, & he's down to 1,800.

while shaa is at it get him to sort his pic out

A remarkable story developing here with the Sporting Odds.com internet qualifier Ken Gunning, a Jersey resident, playing his first major comp, sitting comfy with 27k. I had to bring his branded shirts across, & I bought 3 with me, in case he finalled. Hope he does, he's a smashing fella.

thanks tikay, I shouldn't have asked :(

How is Buzzer doing TK :D

140 runners left. Poor Jen is dead on her feet, I'm trying to get her to get back to the Hotekl & get some kip, she'll be nice & fresh for tomorrow then.

I said "that's an order, do as you are told". She said "no".

Power, see?

Trust Ruru YWB to put the scud on him :(

now fix your avatar before i set red dog on you

Why does his advatar have a red cross instead of a picture?

Red dog is a pussy cat and I like the red x look...... 8)

wuf

I'm not dead on my feet I'm just on screensaver.  Worry not.

I don't know if you remember from the WPT in Paris the enthusiastic team from EverestPoker?  The lovely ladies who bewitched Tikay and got us pointed in the direction of their qualifiers about whom they were pleased as punch?  Well they were back today with a 21-year old medical student qualifier by the name of Rick Dawson, and a slightly older French gentleman qualifier, and I wished we could have got a pic of them both as they were sat at the same table for a long time.  Not sure if either still in, but Rick clearly endeared himself to the team as just being "so cute."

 ~:

as you know, we've had some trub getting permission to take pics here, but I've taken a couple, just to see what happened. Here's our Rhow...... By the way, Jen is doling a full patrol to get chip counts right now.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Having been so remiss with Red Fox news - here's some:  He moved all-in under the gun for a very small 3,650 (with  Kd Kc, as it happens) and got a call with  8c 8s.  The board came out  9h Jc Qs 5s 7h to get him back to 8,000.  Still not a giant stack with the blinds at 200 - 400 ante 50, but back in it.

And for the other Fox - Stuart - he's now on a very comfortable 38,000, having doubled up with flopped quad nines.  That was, according to him, "quite easy to play."

The Camel is OUT......

Thanks for finding the sly red fox! Appretiated lots I wasnt meaning to sound like I was complaining - I know how hard your working with these updates  :D

Whats the payout structure?

Here's Luke Smith's Claire.......

[attachment deleted by admin]

While Stuart's chips are on the rise, the following players are down slightly from the last check:

Isabelle Mercier   18,000
Julian 'YoYo' Thew  16,000
Ram Vaswani          4,300
Paul Alterman         15,000

Mel Judah and the Devilfish OUT

And to show we are not sexist, here's some beefcake for you, the sexy Ariston, taken at Rob Yong's home game last week.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Oh stop my beating heart.

More beefcake, Robert HM is THAT jumper........

[attachment deleted by admin]

he might not be complaining but i was come on iris

Re Mr Hm's pic: Not sure what puts more fear into my heart - the apparel, or the gym equipment.

Did this guy play in the William Hill Grand Prix?????

This is Cochester Kiv, wearing THREE sponsors gear - the Blue Square Fleece, a William Hill Shirt & a blondepoker cap. He's a sponsors whore. These are all from Rob Yong's home game, as we are struggling to get pics from here.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Nice pics :)

Jeez I hope I am never in camera range anytime soon - best angle on me is the one facing away <g>

This is Rob Yong himself, holding up a somewhat tired & distressed Nick Smithers Whiten.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Kevin O'Connell picking his nose........

[attachment deleted by admin]

Food no good there then?

Here's Chili. The shirt is a "Shuffle Up Shirt" jobbie, and it says "you will not get a tell looking HERE....."

[attachment deleted by admin]

you wanna bet on that chilli?

Tony G and Ram Vaswani are OUT

Patrik Antonius is still doing well (as you all clearly expect) with 55,000, but there are two REALLY big stacks (belonging to people I have yet to introduce myself to) - over 100k. 

how cold is it chilli??? :)up

Smithers again, definitely "wasted".....

[attachment deleted by admin]

Flushy Fish blowing away another stack.

[attachment deleted by admin]

The Flanderses are still in - Pippa on 9k and Tim on 4k.

Edgar Skjervold  23,000
Kate Szeremeta  7,000
Kiril Gerasimov     4,000
Bullitpete          12,000

At-It Bradley after winning a monster pot.

ROTFLMFAO

Wheres that red card icon...

oh here it is!!


I clearly have more hair than that!

Oops, never realised HE was online....

Jen is logged on in my name, it was her, honest......

the guy in the picture has a better hairdresser than vidal anyway

"When spray tans go bad"

Lol... Don't make me bring the "Tikay" jokes out!

I'm sure Jen would'nt do such a thing...

(http://)

This is me after winning a large pot!

[attachment deleted by admin]

Spray tan... hmmm give me an idea!

I could use some colour in my cheeks   ;)

With the breaking of yet another table, that must mean that we're down to 110 and the 2:30am deadline is looking realistically breakable.

You guys work way to hard, I just won another seat in the Foxwoods event, took 5 hours instead of 7 like last night, Im done for the day, going to watch a movie, wakeup at 9am for a massage and then play the $5,000 event here at Foxwoods! But it would be fun to be there so I could take on all takers in a little side action of heads up!!!!! Easy $$$$$$$   

More beefcake. The Camel shortly after busting out. Some days he does not look quite as good as this.

[attachment deleted by admin]

Now that is a classic, can Adam make me a tshirt w/ that picture on it??? I just need the right saying above it!!!!!!!!!!

Blimey a werewolf from Darlington  :cheers:

Excellent pics old man , got any of a Russian customs officer snapping on a pair of rubber gloves ??  :D

lmao

ok i am off to bed night all

thansk for updates and tell redfox iris is a better player cause balloo says so

Thank you for that Kiv. Here is Kiv about to do his stack to yours truly......

[attachment deleted by admin]

Connection down???

sorry! clearly not...

Was that the game I won , where me and Chili got to heads up...and YOU and Chubbs tried unsuccesfully to help her win ??  I cant believe you could possibly think she needed your help LOL

Sorry for break in service, Camel came to tell us stories about young Jake.........

So, play has ended. While the official counts are being sorted, here's a selected few.

Pippa Flanders 26k - she had a straight flush!

Surinder Sunar 12k

Martin Green 12k

Thewy - who got sooooo lucky with AK v KK, 41k

More........

Well, for this last half hour there's been a bit of a slowdown and they're calling a halt right at this moment.  Which means that a handful over a hundred players have to come back tomorrow, but only 27 get paid... we'll leave the tension creation til tomorrow and just say that a few of your favourites have ended the day in good shape:

Julian Thew    41,000
Stuart Fox      45,000
Paul Alterman  18,000 (who just lost a preflop raising war with Julian who'd had enough of his reraises and instantly re-re-raised 20k getting a quick fold)
Rob Hollink      13,500
Marcel Luske   26,000
Noah Boeken  46,000
Tim Flanders    15,000
Mike Tse         13,500 (after I lost track of him for about 4 hours and had consigned him to 'out' status, he popped up on the feature table looking quite comfortable with some chips in front of him)

Thanks for the updates Jen and Tikay.

Kate Szeremeta 13k

John Kabbaj 42k

Steve Jelenik 50k. He just flopped THE nuts with AJ, & although a scary flush came, Matey Boys pocket 3's were blown away.

Sverre Sundbo 35k

Anthony Lellouche, 7k

Isabelle Mercier 10k

Jim Reid 19k

Johan Storakers 23k

The Vietnamese gentleman - very nice man, too -  who Pete Costa blew away on LNP - 44k.

These counts are of course only as accurate as our wavery eyesight; they are compiling the Real List of all counts but it's both going to take a while and probably not be instantly available when completed.  So the full list of all players and their remaining chips will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to be revealed in its fulness to you all.

Isabelle Mercier reveals to me that play restarts on Thursday at 2pm Dutch time, that's 1pm UK.

OK, it's bedtime, night all from Jen & the same from me.

Thanks a lot!

Nice job Jen and Tikay, now don't be doing anything that I wouldn't approve of out there.

I believe that Paradiso is still going strong if you need any encouragement  8)

Thanks guys

great job as usual ... Cheers.

Straight back to the hotel tikay.... no window shopping ;)

Ps. I have nicked that pic for my avatar.... almost makes me look like a poker player :)

I missed a fair chunk, had to go out and do some work for a change. Thanks for the updates and the photos and thanks a bunch for that one of me!

Great coverage guys.....The Bannana bar is the place to be....

yes rookie - he was i our heat...... for about 45 minutes  :D

Hehe, way to go Junior.

As we have a news embargo on the William Hill Grand Prix, we will say no more. But Mr Antonius ran into a heat that included a Notts boy. Enough said.......

Notts rule, OK?

Oh, & it was straight to bed last night - too tired for all these dreadful places you boys keep suggesting. But tonight.......

I think that guy might remember the ROOKIE a little more than Junior, after all he only played 5 hands or so, everyone will understand when the event comes out. Junior, what is your new favorite hand? I will give evryone a clue, I love IT!

Whats his username online?

May be worth posting this question on the Day Two Thread IKI, all the punters will be over there. Good question, too. I'll take Shipley though. You?
