EPT at the Vic - Day 1a Live Update - Interactive

[Numpty Dumpty]

Blinds are currently 100/200

Just found the name of one of the chip leaders (pictured earlier on Ram's table)... Sam Hapak from England.

100/200? shouldnt they be higher by now? thought they had already passed that level

[AlrightJack]

OK, my first update of the event.

Simon Zach has had a good little run, winning a few hands in a row. Chris, a Walsall dealer was moved to his table and Simon recited a tale to me from the Midlands Medley final earlier in the year when Chris coming on to deal resulted in bad luck for Simon as he was eliminated that very hand.

Anyway, Simon flat calls for 400 from early position and short stacked Trevor Reardon makes it 1200. Its folded back round to Simon, who calls.

Flop is 

Simon puts a stack of yellows in, more than enough to cover Big TR's remaining 4k.

Trev thinks for a minute or so then calls, showing 

Simon has 

The turn is  , the river the 

Trev exits and the Bubble (who then went on to win the very next pot as well) now has a good squeak at it, on over 35k.

The blinds are 200/400 with a running 50 ante.

Come on guys, feel free to interact and get involved.

Also, for the guests, if you want to see the piccies from today, then you need to be registered on the blonde forum. It's free and easy, just like me.

Don't be shy folks, and remember, your snoopy needs you...

Mickey Wernick's stack has been yoyoing recently. Since his last recorded chip count of 17k he went down to 10k, then doubled up to over 20k with kings versus A-9. Shortly thereafter he was accused of string betting, but either way he found no callers and showed his pocket deuces. On about 24k now.

We're on another short break til 1am. Where the blinds will be 300/600 with a 75 ante.

'Milkybarkid' Ben Grundy is OUT, he pushed with AQ, got called by K8 and the king came on the river.

The board says there is 90 players left, but we reckon it's a few less than that, so the average stack is about 23k now.

wish micky good luck please

[AlrightJack]

One possible reason for Petr Hedblom's incessant hyperactivity could be that he is an asthma sufferer and smoke from the restaurant kept billowing over on to his table. He told me his pulse is currently 30 beats higher than it should be as a result. Anyway, his table has now been broken and he has been moved to another one.

[AlrightJack]

wish micky good luck please

So who the leaders at mo?   

[Surprise]

Hi guys,
Good updates as usual.
How's Isabelle doing ?

[Layers]

dpommo has eliminated his buddy, Mark Teltscher.

dpommo raised to 950 from utg+1, only for Mark to make it 3k a few seats down.

dpommo then pushed all-in, and Mark called for his final 2k, although he was considering folding.

dpommo = A-Q, Mark = K-T

Not sure why Mark made the move, but it didn't pay off and he is now out.

 

Has Pommo put these chips to good use? Can we get a chipcount please?

thanks for the updates all!
