PARIS WPT - SECOND DAY ONE - LIVE UPDATE

[Djinn]

I have located the GetMinted qualifier NabTheAce who is sat on Simon Trumper/ Andy Black's table.  He has 5,000 more than he did a minute ago, having flopped top set of 10s.  The board paired beneath the 10 on the turn, and his opponent bet 3000 (holding the trips).  He tried to raise to 5,000, was made to make it 6, and got a call.  The oddest check of the tournament came on the river when the other guy checked to him, however.... ("I felt sorry for him" said not-ruthless-enough Nabil)

Yes, Chuc Hoang, looks like a Chinese Gentleman, but he's French. He won the E500 at the Deauville EPT Festival, run all over me in the Final. He is THE nicest man you ever met. Bows when he talks to you. I think more of you should do that. Starting with the boy Thewy.

Pass on my regards to Nabil - he played for us in the British Poker Open - lovely chap but whatever you do, don't ever tell him he's not allowed to smoke somewhere!!!

wpt off to a good start, at table w/ DC so thats not so good, have played well , about 17,000, spiderman (tobey maguire) at same table down to 5,000, DC up to 16,000. Just donated 2000 to DC last hand, river A to give me AA, DC hit fush w/ river A

Now that IS interactive....

[Robert HM]

Geez. Give that table their own laptop!

[Shaa]

Are you allowed to smoke at the tables?? 

[Djinn]

As if Table 1 couldn't get more interesting, Tony Bloom has now joined it next to his business partner Martin De Knijff!!  Roy Brindley was joking that he was doing about as well as the guy who wasn't even there - well now we know who that is... Break in a minute and I am sure there will be more Live and Direct from Table One.

[Jim R]

Tony just read your 425 report always said you are you are a pain in the glass .

Just seen it !!

At least you had the good sense to provide subdued lighting.

I just realised that my best feature is my bridge-hand !!

Hehe, REAL interactive, eh?

And the delayed Tony Bloom now saitting next to business partner Martin De Knijff - how spooky is that? They run a Sports Betting Syndicate, anyone can join if they ante up about 25k. They place bets on Premiership matches - HUGE bets, 6 figures regularly. They place the bets in the Far East, where I guess the market is a bit more liquid than in the UK. I mean, imagine trying to get 250,000 on Man Utd v Arsenal at Laddies....! "You can have 75 Sir....."

Players are on the first break of the day now, they have 15 mins after every level.

Dinner is after 3 levels, & they play 5 levels today in total.
