Pokerstars EPT Barcelona - Day 1b - Live Update Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Mike Matusow is OUT.

All the chips flew in on an T-8-8 Flop.

As expected, the cameras moved in like an army operation, all praying for a Matusow outbrust that never came.

Mateyboy held T-T and, with two blanks on the Turn and River, it was all over for the Mouth.

From the expression on his face, I think it's fair to say that he wears his heart on his sleeve.

Jim Kerrigan and David Binstock are both on the same table as Matusow. The table is constantly surrounded by press, TV crews and general hangers on. Neither seem that happy with it. He turned up an hour late but since then...

"Its like a circus" they both said in unison during the last break.

On a sidenote, it's good to see the EPT attracting so many stars. Although Moneymaker and Raymer don't seem to have made the trip, we still have the likes of Vaswani, Luske, Hachem, Mercier and Hansen, not to mention additions such as Kenna James, Mike Matusow and Phil Ivey.

Here's another Swede, a rather reserved-looking Ramzi Jelassi, whom I know was awake at 5am yesterday when the Casino closed... hopefully got some rest.  He's in the worst table with regard to access, squashed in a corner so no idea how he's doing presently.

There appears to be a lot of pink shirts out and about today, but I think the award for antecoolness must go to this fellow for his pink (not salmon) hoody.

Mr Antecool currently has just over 10k.

"snoopy, come in, can you hear me. What does he have? Over"
"Joey, this HAS to stop, I'm NOT going to cheat. Now pack it in, or else..."

A rare breed indeed here in Barclona. Praise silence for the inverted chair sitter.

Sverre Sundbo -- 8,325

And before I go back to watching the halved field (it's Staggered Dinner Break Time), a most unusual sort of picture of Paul Parker - with everyone all moving and blurry around him, he's actually sitting still.  And not talking.  Extraordinary.

Awesome.  He's being adopted, going to get his name.

Andy Black is down to 7,400.

Mateyboy raised to 450 from the button, Black re-raised to 1,300 in the BB, MB called.

Flop =

Black bets 1.5k, MB calls.

Turn =

Both players check

River =

Black checks, MB bets 2.5k, Black calls.

MB announces "staight!" and reveals pocket fives, Black mucks.

Andy Black is still sighing now and looked rather het up.

I think my pink shoes are having a worrying effect. Matt Tyler, who is on 11.5k, just embraced and kissed me (on the cheek before anyone posts).

I'm not accustomed to the modern world we live in.

On a serious note, Matt was mugged a couple of days ago whilst leaving a bar, just yards away from the casino. He was knocked unconcious and when he awoke he couldn't rember anything, but his pockets were lightened.

There's a distinct aura of threat around these parts and I'd recoomend people act cautiously when travelling the streets alone.
