Paris WPT Live Update, Day 1b

[seamus]

Hello from Spain

With the blind structure being so drawn out did anyone deliberately miss the first couple of hours of play and have you since noticed anyone sitting out?

Also it looks like 9 to a table  - yes?

jen/tk is roland still in,its just that his screen name is playing a 300 pound sng on crypto!

[TightEnd]

Out of interest (probably to me only) it seems that very few of the big name Americans came across the pond. Hellmuth yes (perhaps he has appearance money for all I know), but no Negraneau, Matusow or the rest. I know its not unusual but....

Why do we think that is?

Hello person from Spain.

I was not aware of any "late sit-downs".

I am not aware of anyone sitting out.

They began with 10 to a table, and still are 10 to a table.

Yes, he has 14,100.

Questioned about his screen name being in use, he gave an answer I can't exactly Post here, but basically, he registered no surprise, & appears to have sub-contracted out his account for the night. Hope, for Roland's sake, it's not to Ariston, poor Roland will end up boracic.

Is Simon Trumper playing?

Richard,

Very few big names came over last year either.

It seems they were a bit shook up from the srmed robbery in 2004 where several had guns pointed at them and were forced to ground hands on head...

Someone told me a funny story how Ivey reacted. He's just too 'king cool!

The big names havent been back...

I am afraid Stu Fox's small stack went in after the break, in a blind vs. blind situation with John Kabbaj, who took him out after he'd struggled between 1 and 2k for a good long time.

[Djinn]

Is Simon Trumper playing?

Nope, no sign of him.

[TightEnd]

thanks Keith, i remember that now


If it's tellable on here, would love to here the Ivey story.

Indeed - they have much more pressing concerns this week. Yesterday Negraneu, Ivey, Lindgren, Brunson, Sexton and Greenstein were playing golf at Shadow Creek in Vegas...
