Title: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 01, 2008, 05:23:18 AM Welcome to the first day of the sold out EPT London, the city overly blessed with some of the greatest poker players the last couple of weeks, though sadly not blessed with the greatest poker rooms ever. The truth is that today will be an insanely tight squeeze, the Vic's pressroom is smaller than the chance of Junglecat not choosing duck on any menu. This combined with the long walk, plus the news that each media team will, at least at the start, be only allowed one press person in the media room and one on the floor at any time should make this week's reporting a little more of a challenge.
So, the cunningly scheduled event features a guaranteed first prize of £1 million pounds, which, funnily enough the WSOPE doesn't have, as Pokerstars have announced they're adding £250,000 to the prize pool. Plus on the last day, there's a £20,000 high rollers event with a £1 million guaranteed prize pool, why you'd almost think they'd scheduled these events to entice everyone to stay after the WSOPE... In other news, I have to announce that this will be the last EPT blonde will be covering for this year, rising costs and more events have pretty much priced us out of being able to afford to cover these events. It's a real shame because, the EPT has ostensibly become the premier poker tour in the world over the last year, pretty much increasing its numbers every year while the WPT Bogota dropped percentage-wise from last year. These events are now the ones everyone wants to play and the access is also excellent, it's just a shame blonde can't be at any more this year. Play is scheduled to start at 1.30pm today. We are in the UK though, so you may want to add several hours. Finally, look out for October 4th, the day when we discover which reporter is 'King of the Hood'...

Due to the Vic's insistance on one laptop per media outlet, I will be commandeering Floppy's fine machine from time to time using his log-in. Yes, we're here at the Vic with the re-assuring sounds of a typical morning on Edgware Road echoing in the background...hurried chatter, constant engines being fired and of course sirens wailing away as the world goes about its business. For us though, the real business is here. With its sick overlay, historic location and tough field, the London EPT is guaranteed to be a cracker. There'll be plenty of blondites to follow, not least of which will be Maria Demetriou aka Chili, who stormed to a final table berth and big score in her last big tournament here. We'll be tracking her along with a host of others as day 1a goes someway to deciding who will be The Champ. So, buckle up, strap in and lock down while we dive headfirst into what should prove an adrenaline-fuelled ride. Enjoy!

Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 01, 2008, 01:57:00 PM To say it's rammed in the Vic, would be an understatement.
The initial provision was for there to be 250 players today and the same tomorrow. They've already added an extra three tables, (soon to be four we think). The list of alternatives is longer than the extended edition of Lord of the Rings and so far includes Dag Martin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1253) Mikkelsen (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=1253), Tom 'Durrr' Dwan and Michael (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=937) Martin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=937). The latter of these arrived last night and was desperate to play, he hoped if there was enough Germans or Italians he might get in quicker or if there was a table of Finns, they all try and take each other out (of the tournament, not like to the cinema on a date). It looks like there will at least 600 people in this event, possibly more. It's incredibly hectic in the cardroom so player names etc are just going be so difficult to sort out, please bear with us.

I made sure she didn't have too much fun at the opening party last night but she told me she had been on best behaviour. "Bit of champagne, then water, then some vodka, then some water. One more vodka and that was it for me! It was a good idea really as it sent me to sleep; I often get pretty wired before these big events!" She's clearly extremely hyped up for this and the great result she got the last time she was at the Vic - final tabling the London GUKPT - has given her a lot of confidence today. (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21465&g2_serialNumber=1) She has an interesting table for sure.

I always find Annette a captivating character at the table. On the face of it, she is just a small, quiet young lady, but there is an intangible aura about her, some sort of presence, that magnifies her stature and transforms her at the poker tables from little girl to poker titan.

He has yet to nail a big one though and a win here would be, well icing on the cake is a massive understatement. But it would be the icing on the cake.

(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21481&g2_serialNumber=1) These two just actually played a pot, Mercier folding to a bet of several hundred from the Nottingham man who flipped 8c 2s which fitted very well on the 8d 5h 2c Aspades board. Nearby I was alert to a lot of red chips in the middle between Anthony Roux and a player a couple of seats to his right. The board was reading Kd 5h Jh 2h 8s and the other player moved all-in for 7,600. A healthy overbet considering there was only 4,850 in the pot. Roux decided to muck and preserve the remainder of the stack. Finally, Dave Colclough is up a couple of thousand having called a sizeable river bet on an A-2-Q-9-x board with a mere Ac 4c, it was good however and the blonde one has had a good start. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 01, 2008, 02:56:29 PM Ian Woodley is out according to Greg Howard, ran Aces into a set.

Jesper has had an amazing year, picking up a bracelet in the summer at the WSOP, only to follow that remarkable performance up with another bracelet at this year's WSOPE only a week or so ago. This feat was record breaking, Jesper the first man to pick up a bracelet on both sides of the atlantic and clearly a man in form, he will tough to stop. Lisandro hasn't had too shabby a year either. Runner up to Mike (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=671) Matusow (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=671) in the WSOP 2-7 lowball event, he managed a final table at the WSOPE and the Italian is always a tough nut to crack.

Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: JungleCat03 on October 01, 2008, 03:02:36 PM Ask anyone with a modicum of poker knowhow their opinion of William Thorson and you will get a unanimous response.
The boy's got skillz. William has made three EPT final tables and amassed almost $2,000,000 in winnings, although remarkably this has been done without ever winning a big tournament. So many deep finishes with no big win to his name as of yet may rankle with William a little and he'll be surely looking to lay that ghost to rest here. Will the Swede remain the "nearly man" of poker? He deserves to take one down in my opinion.

Homer -- Thanks as usual for the terrific Blonde coverage. I'm so sad to hear this is the last EPT event you will be covering as I anxiously await my son playing in Europe just for your posts and unique headlines. Michael Martin just got in and is at table 16, seat 1 so any updates will be greatly appreciated. When he flew in last night, he had no idea if there would be room or not as he was #105 on the waiting list. He was happy to get in as an alternate. TR23 Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 01, 2008, 03:31:40 PM You've got to admire the way the floor staff don't give anyone preferential treatment here at the Vic or actually seem to know who anyone is.
One player awaiting to get a seat was asked his name, "Patrik" was the reply. The Cardroom guy was a little puzzled..."Patrik.....?" "Antonius." "Ok, just wait a second then sir and we'll show you to your seat."

Everyone else passes, including Durrr.
2s Ad Ks Akenhead tosses out a red chip and says, "900." Freiberg calls. 8d Akenhead has only 2,500 back now and checks. Freiberg sets him in, Akenhead quickly passes. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: JungleCat03 on October 01, 2008, 03:40:55 PM Early doors, there are plenty of tired faces on show.
Whether it's because of the showcase opening party the EPT always stage before the event where the alcohol flows and the players let their hair down in style or simply because the nature of poker means the early few levels are often a touch humdrum, we are still waiting for the fireworks to go off. For Pete (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=348) Linton (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=348) however, there has already been an explosive pot. (http://philip9876.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/nuclear-explosion.jpg) Pete looked down to find a sweet pair of cowboys in front of him, and loving the raise and call in front of him, he re-popped, only for someone he described as "a solid South African" to make the sollitary call. The flop fell J-9-9, Pete bet out and was called (the pot was getting big now.) The turn was a low blank...now meye-ty boi bets out...and Pete calls... The river was a blank and the action went check, check... Pete might have been expecting to win this pot, but was sadly mistaken as his opponent turned over a cunningly played pair of Aces! Pete lost 2/3 of his stack here and was disconsolate as he rushed off to grab a consolatory cigarette. "I nearly passed them on the turn. I mean what's he got?!" I tried to help by telling him he had Aces, but he was just out of earshot by this stage...

Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: JungleCat03 on October 01, 2008, 03:59:53 PM Dave Colclough is sharing the felt with tiny titan, Freddy Deeb, who was tucking hungrily into a sandwich as I joined his table. He had time to bet out 600 on the turn of a #9c #2h #6c #2s board though, his neighbours passing, before he turned away to take another bite.
Deeb up to 20,000. Easy game this! The EPT has really grown in stature since its inception. At first, it was really only an attractive proposition to the creme de la creme of europe, but its reputation has blossomed to the extent that now, the World's elite are attracted by the allure of the tournaments. This makes for some exciting mixes of European and World stars. One table that has a good flavour of both is Table Antonius, the Finnish star the most celebrated player at the felt. He won't find it too easy going though, with recent GUKPT Luton winner Sam Trickett, perennial UK circuit player and fierce competitor Jim Reid and David Benyamine's better half Erica Schoenburg joining him at the table. So far Sam and Erica have close to their starting stacks, but Jim is doing well with 13,000 or so to his name. Meanwhile Patrik has not had the auspicious start you might expect and is languishing behind these three with just 7,000 to his name at present. Some other random names and counts... Jeff Kimber - 20,000 (Go Jeff!) David Benyamine - 8,500 (Try and keep up with the missus David!) Beth Shak - 9,800. Incidentally with beautiful women like Beth and Erica playing, you can rest assured I will be snapping them at some point. At present though we are reduced to one camera between us and Floppy has temporary control, though the battle is far from over! Fear not, norkage fans. Totty coming soon!

Beth has employed one of the most feared poker moves during the early levels to boost her stack up to the lofty regions of 20,000. That move is known as "The Shak Attack!"
Due to this, and the fact she is easy on the eye, she deserves to be snapped and thus she has been. Sadly the Vic is crammed close to capacity at the moment, meaning taking a good shot involves wading through a vibrating scrum of Italian reporters, waitresses and poker players rushing for a cigarette. That's before you have to contend with the railbirds... Getting a good vantage point can prove a challenge so please excuse any blurriness. It's Snoopy's fault.

Diverse I think you might say. First off, there's Barny, having a whale of a time, with plenty of chips - close to 20,000. He was heard warning his table partner to "be careful" as I took this picture, not so much in a "godfather you'll sleep with the fishes" way, more in a "haha, we're having a laugh at the table huh? Or are we?" undertone-of-menace type way. (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21503&g2_serialNumber=1) He is doing a lot better than his brother or other mobster Joe Beevers, both of whom have perished at this early point. Also gone is James Akenhead, so close to winning a bracelet in the summer, he'll have to put any thoughts of following that up with an EPT success on ice for now.

The turn was a Q and James again flat-calling before his opponent shoved the 8 river. James called but had walked into the miracle gutshot that his opponent had hit with T-9.
Meanwhile Tony Cascarino is continuing his good run of form, he raised to 600, Mark Teltscher reraised to 1,700 and then the small blind made it 3,600 with about 4,000 behind. Cascarino moved in and Teltscher huffed and puffed and threw his hand away, Cascarino revealing Ac Ad against his opponents Qd Qc and winning after a blank bricky board.

I give you Vicky (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=449) Coren (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=449), a lady who seems to never age, looking lovely as always, with a rather meaty looking stack of 32,000. As I took the picture, an interesting hand played out between Vicky and one of her tablemates. 100/200, Vicky raised it up to 600 from early position and was called by a player in the cut-off. The flop fell Kc 3c 3d and Vicky led for 1,200, only for the button to call... Vicky looked puzzled at this, saying "You can't have a three? I guess you're on a flush draw then!" The turn fell the Th and Vicky quickly tapped the table to check, checked behind. "No club on the river please" Vicky implored the dealer who spectacularly failed to oblige, delivering the 5c in spite of Vicky's heartfelt request. "I didn't ask for much did I?" said Vicky before checking and watching the cut-off curiously. (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21523&g2_serialNumber=1) He checked also and Vicky announced "two pair" showing pocket eights, only for the late position player to reveal a superior pair of knaves in the hole. "Well played" commented Vicky, hitting the table to confirm this. Still on 30k+ though, she will be a danger to collect her 2nd EPT title if she continues accumulating chips as adroitly as she has thusfar. (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21525&g2_serialNumber=1) "Well played sir!"

Soon after though, he was at it again firing 1,500 on a 4c Jh 8h board, this time he was check/raised to 4,600 and gave up the pot very quickly. He's still on about 64,000 though.

Not just posted for the tittilation, this was a key pot between Annette Obrestad and Team Pokerstars sponsored Vanessa Rousso... I joined the hand on the flop of a T-3-3 board. Annette had bet out 2,600 from late position, flatted by the small blind and check raised by Vanessa Rousso from the small blind to 6,000. Annette went deep into thought before picking up her entire stack and pushing it over the line, approximately 30k more! Wow! The small blind somehow managed to tank for a minute before passing and Rousso insta-called! With a $55,000 pot brewing, they flipped their cards. Vanessa had 3-2 for trip threes, while Annette showed down 3-6 for better trips, though a split was by far the most likely outcome. The turn came a DEUCE! Sick card, putting Rousso in the lead. Here was Annette's reaction. (http://www.ac-nancy-metz.fr/enseign/anglais/Henry/throw_up.jpg) Needing to now spike a 6 or T to salvage the pot, neither arrived on the blank turn and river, meaning Vanessa Rousso moves up into what is likely to be the chip lead, whilst Annette looked forlorn and crippled, down to a few thousand chips. Rousso delivered what sounded like a sincere apology to Annette but I don't think the Norwegian could hear it as she stacked up her remaining handful of chips in her sealed world of pain and misery. Horrible luck for the Norwegian, who would have been a massive danger if she could have won that crucial pot. As it is though, it's Rousso who now holds a dominant stack. Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: JungleCat03 on October 01, 2008, 10:00:58 PM Quick mention of blondite Crosscourttbh, who is pootling along slowly but surely with 12,000 or so.

He now has around 50,000. I hadn't seen the earlier double up but on the turn of a Jc 9h 7s 9s Benyamine check/raised his opponent's 2,000 bet to 6,500. The button thought for a good minute before setting Benyamine in, to which the Frenchman called instantly. Benyamine flipped Td 8h for the flopped nuts while his opponent showed the not entirely drawing dead just yet Tc 9d. But the river was a blank 6s and Benyamine was found to just have his opponent covered, consequently busting him.

Of course!" I think he might have been bluffing though... Here he is giggling away like a naughty schoolboy as he sweeps up the blinds.

He was around the 20k mark last time i heard.
Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: JungleCat03 on October 01, 2008, 11:27:25 PM David Benyamine has watched his missus go busto and to be honest he wasn't far off it himself not so long ago, but as Homer pointed out, he has spun it back up to 50,000.
Time to chill now.... (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21555&g2_serialNumber=1) Ian Frazer was just seen raking in a big pot. I didn't see the action preflop but he seemed to have got a bit funky from middle position with Q-9 and with a Q and 9 on the flop had got someone to give him their chips. Good job Ian! Up to 45,000.

He isn't.
(http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/i-sorry.jpg) He doesn't have loads of chips but with around 16,000, he is still in contention and continuing his policy of stacking his chips in symmetrical form... (http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21559&g2_serialNumber=1) Jeff Kimber is short with only 10,000 or so, but he needn't worry as he has a guardian angel on his shoulder to guide him to poker heaven!

He's just been eliminated I'm afraid, I just saw him as he was leaving. Sorry. :( Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: JungleCat03 on October 01, 2008, 11:34:31 PM Beth Shak has been steady if unspectacular at the tables today. I managed to snap her, although judging by the sultry glance she gave me, I was being a distraction so moved swiftly along. Keep up the Shak Attack, Beth!
(http://blondepoker.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=21563&g2_serialNumber=1) And I moved along to Priyan Demel. Perhaps overdue a result in a big tournament, this may be the one, Priyan with 50,000 at the moment, which will have him in the upper echelons of the leaderboard. Well played sir!

Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 01, 2008, 11:36:28 PM Could u check on Justin "truesyalose " Truesdell please? He is wearing a blue cap with a K on it. ty I'm afraid I can't see him anywhere, though I do remember a young guy wearing a blue hat on sideways earlier being knocked out. If this sounds like him, then I'm afraid he went out about an hour ago or so.

Just spoke to him, busted out ak vs jj to how should i put it.... a larger lady :P Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 02, 2008, 12:13:56 AM Jason Mercier really is out now, Nicolas Levi's short stack push with 4-3 was called by Mercier's equally short A-6. A 4 came out first card and Levi has 20k and a little smile now.
Not smiling so much is Michael 'Don't Call Me Beppe' Greco who committed himself with a raise for half his stack on a 5h 7s 5s board after Vanessa Rousso had led out. Liya Gerasimov set Greco in and Rousso got out of the way. Greco: Aspades Ts Gerasimov: Erm...5c Th No spade for the Grecster, he's outta here! Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: Rhonda T on October 02, 2008, 12:17:31 AM Justin was to the right of Antonius at the beginning of the day. Last text from him says he's still in it. Could u check please.
Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: JungleCat03 on October 02, 2008, 12:20:22 AM Here is our chip leader, Carter Gill.
Carter is a regular motormouth, filling every spare moment at the table with chatter. I was informed by a follically challenged colleague in the press room that he was much the same during the recent APT tour, where he finished just short of the final table berths but got himself into contention through some aggressive play, matched by equally aggressive tabletalk. Here he is with his giant 100,000 ish stack. Now that's a whopper!

First we have Nicholas Levi, somewhat tired perhaps in a day which has been quite a grind. He had 16,000 just before the level end, which will mean he'll be looking for an early double through tomorrow... But notice the menacing looking Arnaud Mattern lurking in the lower background. The villainous look on his face seems to be saying "I am ze only Frenchman allowed in zis photo!!" Finally, to complete the ominous tone of the shot, we have Davood Mehrmand, the slightly wacky (now that's diplomacy) German player giving veritable daggers to someone just off camera. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes! Feel free to fill in your own captions!

Thanks very much for following the tournament progress. We'll throw up the official chip counts as soon as PokerStars send them to us, but for now ;stickaforkinme; because myself and Mr Homer are done! Bye guys ;) Title: Re: Pokerstars.com EPT London: Day 1A - Interactive Post by: dino1980 on October 02, 2008, 12:36:05 AM Here is our chip leader, Carter Gill.

I'm glad to read that the best French chances of winning are still in (Mattern, Bennyamin, Perrault) But I'm sad to read that it will be the last EPT you'll cover... (but i can understand your reason... quite good :)up) (you can note the little versification I succeed to do ;yippee;) Thanks for those pages. |
