My picks are

Faut Can (Scandie)
Marcus Golser (shortstack)
Ian Woodley

[Wardonkey]

Black, Helppi, Leopold Chow

I've never heard of Leopold but I like his name.

Good luck to all the blondes, esp Matt

Congratulations and thanks to all having a sneaky peek at the updates wherever you may be...

The action here is bonkers - every time you look up there's someone making an exit - at least two tables have gone already and the walk to the press room on the other side of the casino takes up, I'm sure, at least another couple busts.  Hopefully it will slow down a bit in this level (blinds 600/1,200, ante 100) and we can actually get some detail...

Oh the wonders of the Re-draw - the two chip leaders have been sat on the same table - Dan Pedersen and Ilari Sahamie.  The rest of them aren't exactly tiny stacks, so in total their table's chip count is nearly 400,000!  This means that other tables are totally staffed with small stacks, and they are getting busy busting half out, doubling the other half up...

Did Bad Girl and Steve not play in this or did I miss their demises ?

Gl all!

How about this for a suprise stack? 86,000 in total!

And all prised (well, gifted) from the same guy.

A rather loosey goosey player joined JP's table, only to go straight into ultra-agressive mode.

The new arrival raised preflop and JP called with A-J.

JP then bet 5k on a J-A-T flop, Mateyboy called.

The Turn cme a 5 and JP bet again, this time 8k. To his joy, Mateyboy moved all-in and JP called instantly.

Mateyboy had a rather flimsy Q-J. Fortunately, the King failed to arrive, giving JP a much needed double-up.

And then, with JP holding Q-Q, his new found friend shoved in the remainder of his chips in with Pocket Sevens. Funnily enough, JP called and, as a result, is now up there with the chip leaders.

Awesome stuff, but what out for Lodden who is sitting quietly across the table. Could be explosive...

Check this table out - somehow it's not the feature table (yes, the little stage and TV cameras are out and whirring) yet probably should be... nicely chipped up and full of recognisables.  Peter Roche has a very problematic back (and hasn't been playing live for a good while) and the wooden chairs don't look the most comfortable on earth.  I hope it's not too distracting (he's one of my picks).

Stevic   Alexander   63900   
Osberstrom   Andres   47800   
Lisandro   Jeff   34600   
Roche   Peter   42400   
Perrault   Pascal   32500   
Westerlund   Mikael   39500
Davenport   James   18000
Can   Fuat   41000
Woodley   Ian   46700

No chance for demises as they were too late to get in!  I've seen more wistful poker players watching the first few days here than at any other EPT - I think the other tourneys running tomorrow and Sunday will be packed to the rafters too.

Some blondeites still in with a shout of that magical near 700k first prize.
