regarding the joe hachem hand.....

when i first read about it, i thought it was a shame, checked down and he didn't show his hand, that joe hachem acted so unprofessional as i really like the guy. And woody deck, whom i don't like, was right. But then reading the correct version, if Joe Hachem bluffed, was called and then other guy shows his hand, ofc Joe doesn't have to show his hand. However if the other guy asked to see the hand before he shows his, then Joe has to show.

I dislike woody deck even more now.... :-)

boobies are fake, is that so hard to see? :-)

great coverage on this tournament, more great than usual!

Go (f*ck) the Swedes!

us swedes sure have something to learn from you english when it comes to live updating. Keep up the good work guys!


Now... 

 

[“raised the bar” in updating.]

I think it’s fair to say, the general consensus feel that the Live Tournament Updates by the Blonder Poker Team are by far and away the best available. It doesn’t matter which tournament or which updaters are on duty the reports are always excellent and well received and greatly appreciated by those unable to attend said events.

That said I have to say, it is my feeling that the reporting at this tournament has “raised the bar” in updating. I cannot explain why, it’s just a gut feeling I have as I read the reports. I really feel as if I am there watching the action myself.

So my thanks to Snoopy and Chili for this and long may the updates on Blonde continue.

These are just my thoughts which I wanted to share with you all.

Couldn't agree more! Was following the Swedish Open on a swedish site few weeks ago, and they had hand for hand updates on the final table. Great i thought! They didn't update the chipcounts one single time and there were mistakes in every other hand.... was the worst shit ever.

Gotta love blonde! Good work guys!

Are the cards in the air (or on the table) yet?

private sideaction going on, go andy black!

can we get some norkage pics please

 

Your wish is my command, this lovely lady is Lina.  She is the Swedish blogger for Pokerstars and is joy to have in the press room, including trying to teach Snoops some Swedish naughty words.

qft!

Hornswagglers favourite swedish sentence: Du är en stor hååååååååååååååååååååååårig ****!

go Andy Black!

Edit: Eek, my secret source informs me these are naughty words.

there is only one stuart, Stuart Rutter, updates please! Don't bother with anyone else :-)

Stuart is in fine fooling as usual.  He woke up at 12.58pm today (I know cos he said ) but due to a slight late start he just managed to sit down before the cards were in the air.  There are no drama's to report as yet - although his cheeks are looking rather flush, I suspect these will die down once he has woken up a bit more.

Typical donkish stu, he is probably hungover. He might have a chance now!

+13 right back at ya hornswaggler!

Any updates on Ed Pelligrini?


 

He's not on the list of players still in, I'm afraid.

This is an outrage, could he be under a pseudonym?

Mr Hornswaggle, I have to object to your latest unlikely hero. This man passed aces twice on the bubble of a WPT event. That is not a heroic act, but cowardly and a disgrace to poker. I would hate to see him on the bubble of a $50k HORSE event.Back to Ireland, on your bike.

Cheers for the updates guys, great as ever. Can we have updates on the captain, Tony G, who has been surprisingly quiet so far this year.

to even mention that AA folder, is just wasting space here. Cmon the swedes! w8, there are none, oh well... :-(

when the action get under way?

2pm (US time), 10pm (UK time)

Jen & Floppy will be your updaters, I'm off to play cash at Caesars.

cheers and gl

when the action get under way?

cud be, but they are a joke compared to blonde....

Yes, good luck to you guys! And if you see the better half of TeamPaul, mr Higgins, tell him good luck from me!

beware of the leprachaun.....

Hello! 

Good luck to Higgins, take them english fish down!     

It seems strange if they dont play down to 15...

lets see some overall chipcounts and average stack please :-)

In the interests of professionalism, we shall remain here in Bolton Casino until they provide us with full, accurate chip counts (to the hundred, which is now the lowest denomination chip) - bear with us for about 15 minutes.  Then you can add them all up and divide them by 19 for the average (or, more precisely, the mean).

cheers!!!
