PARIS WPT - SECOND DAY ONE - LIVE UPDATE

[tikay]

It was not a laughing matter Mr Bloody jbsc7769. We were marching along at a fair lick, then WHACK.....Jen did not know whether to laugh or cry, she really thought I was badly hurt, & rushed to my aid. I was a bit hurt, but it was my pride that suffered most.......

Well, that was not the greatest but I went down fighting, im sure DC will ask 'what were you doing in the pot anyway'.

I did put him on a bluff, thought AQ/AK or smaller pair (maybe 99 or 88 w/ other outs), still have alot to learn, having fun and now I can get to London, may take mad marty up on that tv poker deal he keeps emailing me about.


Rookie busted out 

[tikay]

Yeah, Rookie with a WSOP Bracelet. If you fancy dinner later Brian, you know where I am.

Simon Trumper down to just 3200 after an unfortunate river vs. GetMinted qualifier NabTheAce.  Simon held AK vs. Nabil's 10 J.  On the flop of 10 J Q (two hearts) Simon bet with the nuts and was called.  The blank brought a bet from Nab and an "I'll take it right now" raise to 8000 by Simon.  He was flat called again and when the pair came giving the 10 J the full house on the river, Nab went all-in immediately and Simon had no choice but to pass his AK, which he did face-up, leaving himself with just about 3000, but still in.  Not such a happy camper, but Mathilda there sharing every hand - good and bad.  She looks more upset than he does...

Many thanks to Rolf Slotboom, who is being SO helpful to blonde, giving us FAR more help than we are giving him.

OMG, that was cruel for Simon. Mathilde sweats him every single hand of every comp. He's a lucky fella, though he may not realise it right now. Mathilde is French, though.

[tikay]

I saw Bob Coombes yesterday here in the Aviation, but I was flat out busy at the time, & never had chance to chat with him. He had Joy with him. I do hope she feels a little better.

A GREAT comeback by Barny Boatman. After his AA v KK accident, he was actually down to 2,400, not 5k as I noted at the time.

But he's back to 13k now, dancing too. He just stole a little pot with a board of  Q-Q-T-T-A, I am SURE I saw him flash J-2 in my direction......

Earlier, he got involved in an odd one, he had AK with 1 diamond, Matey Boy had A-J. Flop came J high, with 3 diamonds, all the chips go in, Barny is in a hole. "Did the Diamond come Barny?", I asked, "no, the K" was his jaunty reply. He's a happy bunny now.

[tikay]

Tony G down to 4,200. He's being a good boy.

Mr Tikay - any news re Carlo?   

[tikay]

But Simon Trumper is OUT. Don't know what happened, but his seat is empty, & Mathilde is nowhere to be seen. Simon looked (to me) really down today, & that beat when he flopped the nuts musta felt like a dagger to the heart. He'll be back, he's a fighter.

[tikay]

Willie Tann has "13 or 14k" he replies with a derisory shake of his head.

Peter Roche has 9k.

Very interesting hand on the old Table 1 -

Threeway action between Roy Brindley (s.b.) Alex Kuzmin (b.b.) and Tobey Maguire (button).  When I came up to the table, the flop was out: 10c, and it looked like Alex had bet 700, called by Tobey on the button, and Roy was thinking - he raised 3000 after a few moments.  A much longer dwell from the Russian resulted in a Re-raise to a total of 7700!  Button Maguire decided he really wasn't that interested after all, but Roy Brindley flat called and moved in when the came on the turn.  Almighty break-reaching think from Alex and he passed giving Roy a 16000 pot.

Interesting aside on this: there was talk as is usual about what everybody had, and apparently Roy's 10 4 pushed off Alex's 10 7, although we'll never know for sure. 

What would have been even more interesting was that El Blondie passed a pair of threes and Tobey the 5 6 so if THEY had made it to the turn there would have been even  more fireworks. 

On a break.

[tikay]

Czarlo - yeah, I just spoke to him, Sam must by a mindreader. He's OK, nice & quiet, not pulling up any roots, but he's here for the long game. We will follow him a bit closer after the break. I THINk he has about 13k or 14k. That's just fine. They began with 15k, by the way, & blinds are about to go to 100-200, so LOADS of time.

Thank you
