Otis' chip counts are probably guesstimates. Either way, always go with Tikay, this is his site. I'm just trying to augment the information. Otis at http://www.eptblog.com/ is writing for the EPT and at the tournament as is Tikay. I'm in Washington State and just watching both websites.

Swedish apocolypse--Dinner break chip counts
How it happened is almost impossible to say. I'm not sure we'll ever hear the full story.

Andreas Harnemo, the man who held a comfortable chip lead just one hour ago...

has lost it all.

All. He's gone.

As the players get ready to head to dinner, here are some chip numbers to tide you over.

Brandon Schaefer: 80K+
Anthony Kellouche: 70K+
Willie Tann: 70K
Robert Mizrachi: 50K+
Isabelle Mercier: 50K+
Julian Gardner: 55K+
Scott Bush: 50K+
Jan H. 45K+
Ben Sprengers: 45K
Gus Hansen: 40K

How's Scott Bush doing? Update, if you could.

THanks!

No problem Tikay!
How many players are left? How long before the next break?

Otis at http://europeanpokertour.blogspot.com/ is reporting:

The story of the featured table so far has been Scott Bush. The PokerStars.com Frequent Player Point qualifier came to the table with just more than 22,000 in chips. While he rarely plays weakly, I expected him to shrink a bit in the face of Gus Hansen. Again, I'm learning to stop expecting things. Bush did the exact opposite, raising and re-raising Hansen at almost every opportunity. Only once in the first level did I see Bush lay down a hand to a Hansen bet, and that was to a check-raise on a raggedy board. On the last hand of the last level, Bush showed down queens on a jack-high board for another big win. Bush is now nearing 40,000 in chips with the blinds at 300/600/75.

Go Scottttay!

Nothing wrong with bad beat stories....come on - drop it on us.

If you can update how many are left that would be great.
Otis said it was hot in there. Is it? How you holding up?

I cannot believe my boy Scott Bush is on the TV table!!!

My Lord, how is he doing? Has he taken Gus down yet?

Is it the case that at this late time nobody wants to make a big mistake because of the late hour?

Only 10 minutes left or so! Wonder who's gonna prevail to Day 2!

About 15 of us are haning on your every word. Keep up the great job.

Go Scott!

How much time left in the Level?

Don't forget the "other" Bushy (Scott Bushy). (If you got the time. Thanks!)

You are doing a great job! You're gonna sleep good tonight...!

Thanks for the Scott Bush update!!! His friends appreciate it!

Scott Bush is part of the Yank invasion. Go Scott, represent us well!
