PARIS WPT - SECOND DAY ONE - LIVE UPDATE

[RedFox]

Excellent reporting again guys.

I was gonna put some info about the Aberdeen Internationals novice night Tusdays at 9pm - PLH 2 rebuys,  but decided against it as the chief might have done his spam bit and binned it .

I just popped outside for a breath of fresh air. The Aviation Club really is in a quite remarkable setting, on the Champs Elysses.

The pavement outside is a throng of people, lots of pretty girls & hungry guys. The pavement is maybe 30 yards wide, with 2 rows of trees, one in the middle, one by the road.  Another row of trees on the opposite pavement. The trees are all beautifully but symmetrically trimmed - I think that's called aboroculture, but I'm not sure. Slim trunks, branches don't start until a good way up, all exactly the same height.

The Champs Elysses itself is nine lanes wide, & is cobbled throighout. The cobbles are in a sort of radius/arc pattern. Plenty of traffic. The Arc De Triomphe - which is HUGE - is about 400 yards to the right. The Place de la Concorde is about 2 miles to the left, & the road between is arrow straight. Place de la Concorde must be the biggest roundabout in the world, Hyde Park Corner x 10, it's a fearful place to cross the road.

To the right, is the Seine, very wide, with boats fitted out as restaurants moored along the banks. Continue down past the Place de la Concorde & you eventually reach the Louvre, which I am told is a bit of an Art Gallery. That in itself must be half a mile long, it's a whopping size building.

It really is a beautiful city. No wonder they call it romantic, it's quite lovely. Oh to be young again, you could sweep a woman off her feet here, I daydreamed.....

Started to walk back in, & I bumped into a few players. "So the flop comes J-K-7 & the muppet bets.....". Back to realiity with a bang,eh?

I note a whole load of posts in the General Discussion section, some of which need a response from me, but you'll have to bear with me, am flat out here.

I have some good news (I think) on the next Blonde Tourney, hopefully I can update you all tomorrow.

[tikay]

There's always a bloody comedian ready to jump in with a quip, eh....?

It's a little sore, truth to tell, & I got a thumping headache.

Jim R gets the vote for the best post on this subject - I think he described me as "a pain in the glass".

redfox spamm away a card room with the quailty of the international cannot be over spammed

you know it's the home of great champions and can easy take on any of the englandshire casinos if a heads up challenge was made

beginners night does that mean someone will teach iris about the game?

[Ironside]

btw 2 rebuy is that the cheapest dealer supplied B&M casino game in the world?

[tikay]

Right, back to business, we are playing again here.

John Gale needs to find a hand, he's about 4k. Stuart Nash is about 37k, Devilfish 28k "going on 42k".

[tikay]

Managed to chat with Bob Coombes & his wife at the break, Joy looks marvellous, which was nice to see.

[Rupert]

Sounds like good news for nab so far wish him luck from the getminted regulars!!

[tikay]

Mr Brindley is on a roll, he's just busted Martin De Knijff out, & is up to 32k.

Roy made it 600 pre-flop, Martin raised it up to 2k, Roy called. Flop was K-5-2, all hearts. Roy checks, Martin moves all-in, Roy beats him into the pot.

Martin turns over A-T, (A clubs T hearts), Roy has JJ. No change on the turn & River, & Mr De Knijff is OUT.
