Title: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: AdamM on February 16, 2005, 05:30:43 PM Tikay's still in (after two hours :o) so he's asked me do keep everyone updated.
2000 buy in. Day 1 playing down to half the field which started at 248 runners. 1 hour clock with 10,000 starting chips. at the first break, two hours in there are 227 left. Early casualties include; Marcel Luske Kevin O'Connell (trip Aces vs flush) Julian Thew (KK vs Bambos with AA) next break is at 7pm GMT so unless Tikay has crashed by then (hopefuly not) he'll get me more info and I'll update.

top stuff by the way , thanks for the quick updates Great news for us about Mel Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: goonner on February 17, 2005, 08:02:27 PM Great show Mel. ;)
For all of you who dont Mel. She runs the Slough Palace Home game with her other half Eugene, and her lucky charm baby Declan.[ not to sure which 1 is the biggest baby 8)] Anybody who was at the poker 4 charity event in Luton last week. Mel was the lady doing a great job as tournament director. Which just goes to show that good things can happen to good people. keep it going girl ;D Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: tikay on February 17, 2005, 08:43:56 PM Dinner break here, start again 2200 local (2100 UK).
Mel doing just great, & a lovely lady. 2 hands pre-dinner, she R'd 15k, I had AQ & passed. She had a pair, & told me she would have not passed, so a 50-50 avoided, for better or worse. Somehow I did not fancy my hand, & if she had AK I'd be in deep doo-doo. Thanks to Adam (last night) & Simon (tonight) for the updates. OK, gotta go, got work to do....... ;) Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: jbsc7769 on February 17, 2005, 09:33:35 PM Jeff Duval OUT.
There are now 25 players left. The blinds are up at 3k and 6k, antes 500. Tikay has 68k and I am sure you want to know Mel has 35k ! Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: Newportlad on February 17, 2005, 09:46:36 PM Remind me what the odds were again on Tikay making the final table?? ;D
Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: K9sixtwo on February 17, 2005, 09:49:11 PM thouroughly entertaining reading all the updates .....Good Luck Tikay ..... :)
Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: jbsc7769 on February 17, 2005, 09:54:32 PM I think i read 13/2 but not 100% sure.
Yes, the site is really good and all three of them have done a good job. Hopefully it will continue to grow and be a major player out there soon. Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: keith on February 17, 2005, 10:37:05 PM Hi JB , any chance of a tikay v Mel heads up ??
do you have the chip counts for both and who is the current leader ?? thanks Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: jbsc7769 on February 17, 2005, 10:38:28 PM Firstly apologies for delay, we think Gabriel is out but...... :-\

Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: Karabiner on February 17, 2005, 10:54:54 PM Willie Tann in Betfair colours, I thought he was with Sporting Options !
Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: jbsc7769 on February 17, 2005, 10:56:43 PM Great news for fans of Mel....
Ivo Donev is OUT (thats not the good news!!) Mel up to 100k Tikay up to 79k As for Willie.....I can only work with the details i have been given...thank god i said i was merely a pigeon!!! Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: keith on February 17, 2005, 11:01:11 PM Superb stuff !!!
any idea how Mel got so many chips ???? ( I know Im pushing my luck a bit with this one !) Didnt take them off Tikay , I have them in a reverse forecast ! Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: jbsc7769 on February 17, 2005, 11:09:24 PM OK, this bit is above and beyond the call of duty....it seems Sporting Options MAY have gone into administration and there was a rescue package put together by Betfair..... here is the link....
www.sportingoptions.co.uk I guess i ought to say here that I am not part of blondepoker so if it is wrong, do not sue blondepoker please! (or me!) Keith, yes pushing your luck!! I wish I could say that Tikay funded my trip to France to cover this but, the harsh truth is it s being done via text message FROM tikay whilst he is playing. Is that guy a legend or what! I am sure he will fill in the gaps when he views these messages at the end of days play. Although, maybe sleep would be a better option. When you get old, you need your sleep. (Just joking tikay!) I will keep you updated the best I can but, I live in Greece so, it 2 hours ahead here, my bed may beckon at 4am !! Simon Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: jbsc7769 on February 17, 2005, 11:16:04 PM John Gale OUT. 19 left.
I don't have the full details of how this hand was played but, his AQ was busted by a monster of....75. And why not! Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: keith on February 17, 2005, 11:17:07 PM ha ha ! finally got you on something !
You are right about Sporting Options , they went to the wall , owed a lot of punters a lot of money (if you were unlucky enough to have left any with them ) and Betfair stepped in to try and help some of these unfortunates out. Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: carlo citrone on February 17, 2005, 11:18:53 PM ha ha ! finally got you on something ! You are right about Sporting Options , they went to the wall , owed a lot of punters a lot of money (if you were unlucky enough to have left any with them ) and Betfair stepped in to try and help some of these unfortunates out. Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: keith on February 17, 2005, 11:19:11 PM Are we definately stopping at 18 jb ??
Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: jbsc7769 on February 17, 2005, 11:22:16 PM Nope, I think not....now just down to 18 and they are redrawing seats as we speak.
Mel now down to 75k Tikay down to 73k. Somebody, who will remain nameless, stated that another site was the most up to date for the EPT details....did they ever visit this site.... lol Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: keith on February 17, 2005, 11:26:17 PM I hope you slapped them down !!
Now , a more tricky question - how many players left can you name , and any chip counts ?? I'll give you more than the usual one minute !! Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: jbsc7769 on February 17, 2005, 11:27:33 PM OK, they have 15 minutes left then they can sleep! Bob Coombes has just been sat to Tikays right with approx 300k chips!
Tikay or I will post full chip counts then, (sorry it is not 1 minute!) not sure if he plans to get to his bed immediately or not. Knowing him, he will be here. Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: jbsc7769 on February 17, 2005, 11:30:36 PM Hi Carlo, Welcome to blondepoker.com
I notice your message was just a quote from a previous message, I am intrigued what you were going to say now........ ??? Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: Karabiner on February 17, 2005, 11:34:10 PM O.K. I admit I was being a little bit sarcastic, but not having a go at you, you're doing a great job.
Willie got a few of his 'friends' to sign up to Sporting Options, so it's somewhat ironic that he now wears Betfair's colours. Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: keith on February 17, 2005, 11:38:04 PM thanks jb.
So I take it we can all get some sleep in a little while. The remaining 18 will be back on Saturday or Sunday ? Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: jbsc7769 on February 17, 2005, 11:43:41 PM Ooops! Didn't know that Karabiner. To be honest I only really play on PokerStars (and very rarely Party) so was not familiar with Sporting Options.
Does seem a little ironic now! Keith, I THINK, it is Sunday down to final table with approx 2pm ish start then onto televised table. Don't quote me on that though, just seem to recall that from Copenhagen and Dublin, maybe another reader would perhaps know? Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: goonner on February 17, 2005, 11:54:50 PM from the EPT final on Saturday. Unless they change it :D

Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: tikay on February 18, 2005, 10:35:58 AM Thanks Guys, it's Double-Up or Die time, that's for sure. Either way, it'll be pretty soon too, with blinds ar 5k-10k, antes 1.5k, 55k dont last long.
Anyway, once I am out, I can get back to writiing some articles for blonde - I been slacking this week! xx Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: Karabiner on February 18, 2005, 11:06:14 AM Really nice seat draw Tony !!
::) All the best matey, we're in no hurry for your reports. Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: julian on February 18, 2005, 12:49:48 PM 20 mins to go until we restart the last 18 - tikay is pacing around the room like a caged lion, he knows what he has to on a very chip heavy table.
mel & willie are on the other table which only has two stacks over 100k - the play will be pretty cagey on there. they play down to the final eight this afternoon, i will try & update as much as poss before the 1000 event starts (in 2 hrs) - it's a good 15 min round trip from the card room to the bedroom & back again but i could do with the exercise. i met bob coombes for the first time last night - what a lovely fella, he looks a shoe-in along with the camel to final in good shape. i have a vested interest in 2 players, 2x5%'s - Come On Boys! Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: Ruru on February 18, 2005, 01:18:21 PM well I'm cheering on the Betfair Poker boys - good luck to Willie, Jeremy and Bob. 8)
Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: julian on February 18, 2005, 01:37:26 PM 15 mins in, 4 gone.
mel moved her short 50k in with A3 but the BB woke up with AK tikay stole a hefty 24k of blinds & antes with a 10-7, but on the next hand when bob coombes brought it in for 30k UTG tony tried to create his rush by moving 76k in with A-10 - the SB then decided that A-Q must be in front & moved for 150k & wasn't going anywhere with his KK. bob must now have a quarter of the chips in play. a thin french guy with an i-pod was next out - this guy took a minute to act on every hand, i doubt he'll be missed. Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: julian on February 18, 2005, 01:39:51 PM my bad, it was bob who wasn't going away with KK.
oh yeah, & devilfish won the 300NL adding another 37k to 30k of til-fodder he had in his pocket Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: julian on February 18, 2005, 02:00:49 PM willie tann at last finds the double thru he's waited three days for
Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: Junior Senior on February 18, 2005, 02:04:47 PM Nice updates guys!
I'll have a sheffield report for you over the weekend. Been there all week so far. - Can't win a bean!! Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: Ruru on February 18, 2005, 02:06:19 PM top class coverage thanks. what's willie up to now?
Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: Bad Beat on February 18, 2005, 02:32:34 PM Just spoke to Willie. He says he went out with 10,10 against A3 but I couldn't quite follow what happened. He wasn't too chatty. I think the blinds were 1500/3000 and the geezer moved in with A3 for 130,000. WT called for about 120,000 with 10,10. All seems a bit mad with these blinds - are these figures right?
Also any news of Keith and Bob? Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: TightEnd on February 18, 2005, 02:35:30 PM at the beginning of the day the blinds were 5k/10k with a 1.5k ante, so c27k in each pot to start
hence the tikay/mel lofthouse's with 50k had to stick it in reasonably quickly! Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: Bad Beat on February 18, 2005, 02:39:05 PM Ahh. That makes a lot more sense now - cheers.
Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: DTD-Nick.W on February 18, 2005, 04:34:05 PM any news on tikay
Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: redsimon on February 18, 2005, 05:01:07 PM I think Tikay busted vs KK and AQ according to Julian's report.....great reporting. Looking forward to the sheffield lowdown too
Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: julian on February 18, 2005, 05:03:49 PM ok, after nearly 4 hours of play we have a tv table - i don't have a list but can tell you that bob coombes is in with a little under 200k.
he took a bad beat when an 80k stack moved with Q-4 & bob found 8-8 in the SB. the young american(?) justin who got close in copenhagen got the 9th place finishers chips in a battle of the blinds - both were short with 30ish each after posting, the SB moved with Q-5 & justin wasn't gonna pass up a shot at a 120k stack with A-8. best hand won for a change. the camel was crippled when he moved on the buttton with 7-7 & the BB made a big call with A-J, keith couldn't survive & finished a disappointing 10th - an hour later, beer in hand & he's in good spirits. it was one of those days for mike lacey, but 5400 for 12th has eased the pain - sam, the holdem100 qualifier finished 13th & was happy with 4500 for his biggest ever draw - well played. a young oriental guy looks have the chip lead with over 700k - i'll have all the names & counts later. Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: Ruru on February 18, 2005, 05:21:57 PM there's going to be a market on betfair soon...

Mark Ristine 251,000 Peter Eichhardt 202,000 Jeremy Tuckman 372,000 Brandon Schaeffer 691,000 Bob Coombes 163,000 Justin Bonomo 124,000 Carl Olson 349,000 Luca Pagano 316,000 Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: julian on February 19, 2005, 11:31:36 AM more excitement here in deauville - on his second overseas tour nottinghams 'bookie jim' takes down the 139 runner 1000NL freeze-out.
final table play began at 4am, devilfish & isobelle fell early & at 6.30am with 5 left a deal was tabled, jim taking 26k, the other 4 (including a certain mr w.tann) scooping a nice round 20k. top result jim! mrs moult has been informed, luckily she was sitting down. Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: Junior Senior on February 19, 2005, 11:39:44 AM fantastic stuff Jim!
you always were lucky! Budweiser please Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: londonpokergirl on February 20, 2005, 11:21:40 PM just wanted to say a big thank you to you all for giving our Slough palace players a running commentary on the EPT Deauville
It was a great tournament and was great to meet Tikay, Julian, Mike "LuckyBlind", XPham, Vicky and countless of other players I can honestly say had a great time over there, and now hoping to be at Vienna :) I'll do my trip report in next couple of days for you Mel xx Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: tikay on February 21, 2005, 10:00:31 AM Thanks Mel - it was really terrific to meet you & Eugene, & what a great effort by you both in the biggie.
As for the running updates, as you know, usu-able internet connections in Deauville were almost non-existent, so the thanks for the updates really belong to Adam (Adam M) & Simon (jbsc7769) who were simply marvellous at this end. Thanks also to Julian in Deauville. Our plans all went wrong, 'cos he exited early, & tikay went deep (all week in fact), so Julian was doing his best to do updating as well. Now, get yourself entered for Vienna! Title: Re: Deauville main event, the story so far Post by: scarface on March 05, 2005, 08:39:13 PM who knows how to get into the concord card casino vienna...I mean I want to watch it on the web cam but can't seem to figure out the website hmmm can u help?
