POKERSTARS EPT: BARCELONA - INTERACTIVE

[Djinn]

OK, although Nick Gibson has come back from technically no chips to a healthy 25k or so, the Climber of the Day has to be Johnny Lodden (pictured, drinking the life-force of his opponents).  His start to the tournament was, some might say, disastrous - down to 400 and literally chip and chaired.  Now he has over 50k (although doesn't stack in a counter-friendly manner).  Ian Woodley can have a prize too - for quietly building up 44,500 without anyone taking much notice.  He's in the big blind when Johnny's on the button.  Would make for an interesting Day Two if there were no seat redraw...

With 14 minutes left of Level 9 (which looks like being the last), Bog TK has ordered the press to leave the tournament area.

However, I did manage to get the odd chip count as I departed.

Nick Gibson -- 34,000
Ian Woodley -- 41,200
Ben Grundy -- 20,100
Gosler -- 16,900

whom no one could identify (even Rolf Slotboom)

 

Yes quite shocking, even worthy of one of these...

Play has ended, and it does look like Julian may have departed at the 11th hour (so says Bad Girl).  The rest will come back after a day's break, but we'll be here to follow the action tomorrow, Day 1b....

I busted with 30mins left getting it allin on Ac7c4s flop with 4h4d, I was up against As7s and turn and river were spades giving him the nut flush.  55k pot....SICKKKKK

Seconded - very sorry not to have caught up earlier - that's a pretty nerve-twisting exit to be sure...

I'm even more sorry that I didn't spot you. I vaguely recall your face from Vegas, but it's hard to keep track sometimes when there are so many names to remember.

My apologies.

Wave your arms about like a mad mad next time and I'll come running.

Bad luck on your exit.

Chip-counts don't seem to be emerging, so, until 5pm tomorrow (our time - although don't hold me to that as everyone seems to suggest a different kick-off time)...

Cheers spoony, see you and Jen tomorrow!

enjoyed the updates as always, great to have something to read before work.

I wonder if anyone else reads these in a towel fresh from the shower?
