PARIS WPT DAY TWO

[Djinn]

Hello and welcome back to the ACF as the Day 1 survivors check back in with a table redraw and a plan to play down to either 35 or 27, no one can quite agree which.  Good luck to all, especially the British and Irish contingent and those whom I have been following.....

Hi can you tell me how Elvis Senior is doing?

[Djinn]

Players are starting to stand around in the hallway in preparation for returning to the tables (all the chips are still in their plastic bags and you can't get in there yet).

Among others are milling:
Frank Callaghan  --the chip leader with 92,325
Gilles Haddad       70,850
Ken Lennard        67,525
Noah Boeken       61,425

There are 81 players remaining according to the very helpful sheet the ACF has provided.  We are also told where they are all seated - makes my job quite a bit easier.  Out of interest, Noah Boeken, Alex Kuzmin, El Blondie, Stuart Nash, Peter Heighway and Carlo are all on the same table.

Good Luck Jen!

[Djinn]

Elvis senior being Bruce, right?  Slap in the middle in chips.  Sat with Roland de Wolfe.

[Djinn]

Hey Tikay I don't need luck, the guys on the press table are all fish

[tikay]

Compared to you Jen - CORRECTA-MONDO!

[corp0803]

Thanks

[Djinn]

Oh - they've just started.  I am going to catch the first hand of the day one of these days.  Off to take a peek at the short stacks.

[Djinn]

<aside to Tikay:  Can't remember the name of the guy who was winding Brian up calling him 'Son' - could you remind me for profile which is otherwise done>

[Djinn]

El Blondie OUT - still not feeling well he took the inevitable double-up shot with pocket on the big blind raising Noah Boeken's button raise with 10 J.  The J appeared to knock him out.

Devilfish OUT - All-in pre-flop with the Q 9 of diamonds, he was called by 44 and although he picked up a flush draw on the flop he didn't improve.

Wow, barely enough time to pick up the notepad.

[Djinn]

Andrew Black NOT OUT - (just testing) but he was all-in picking up 13,000 from the guy he dispatched.  He's now in the low 30ks.

[Djinn]

Counts from the right-hand room: 

Frank Callaghan  perilously close to 100,000
Dan Alspach      51,000
Alan Goehring   28,000
Surinder Sunar  19,500
Gilles Haddad    59,000
Mikael Thuritz   69,000
Ayhan Alsancak 10,000
Roy Brindley     45,000
Steve Worr      18,000
Jani Sointoula   30,000
Tony Bloom     16,000
Casey Kastle     40,000

Hi Jen,

you're doing a fantastic job in Paris just as you did at the World Series. Other blondeites may not know how good a player you are yourself though. You're far too modest to point out that you knocked Howard Lederer out of this event last year.

 

Keep up the good work and hope to see you soon,

Martin
