BADEN EPT: DAY 1A

[NoflopsHomer]

Here are some other big stacks.

1) Jen thinks this is Siegfried Stockinger. He has around 70k at the moment.

2) Ramzi, Smokin' Steve and crazy young italian guy. Jen and I reckon the 1st and 3rd may well clash in a big pot before the end of the night.

[Djinn]

Also still in, with what looks to be a slightly less than average stack.... MR. KERRIGAN

[NoflopsHomer]

Joining these big stacks thanks to:

1) This hand,

2) Is this guy.



So you readers out there? What do you reckon his opponent had? Clue: All the money went in on the flop. Board was    and our winner held

[NoflopsHomer]

El Blondie is OUT.

He lost a race with 88 vs KT then pushed with A7 which was flat-called by an American matey, before Jeff Lissandro (spelling?) pushed with Tens sensing weakness. Unfortuanately for Jeff and Dave, said American had flat-called Colclough's push with the old bullets... and took both of them out.

************correction************

This is Sigi Stockinger.  They could be twins.  It's not just because I'm tired.  He has over 60k.

[Djinn]

And as we enter the last half hour of play, there are just 44 left in.  Blinds 600/1,200 ante 100.

Hmmmm.

Before: Rivering the nuts and getting paid.

After: Rivering the nuts, getting paid, then flopping the nuts and getting paid.

The latest victim of this man was John Kabbaj who had raised with AJ and was forced to call when his opponent flopped the nut straight with KQ on the A-J-T board and pushed.

He now has, according the guestimates of Ash Hussain, Julian and Bad Girl around 180k. Easily the super chip leader.

[Djinn]

Awesome bit of trivia for you now - Dario, referred to as Crazy Young Italian Guy up til now by Homer, was the first guy to get the Porsche from Stars for 3,000,000 Frequent Player Points.  (Thanks, Ash Hussain, for that nugget).  Sick.  And he and Ramzi are sandwiching Steve Vladar...can't be a comfy position.

[Djinn]

Hmmmm.

Before: Flopping the nuts and getting paid.

After: Flopping the nuts, getting paid, then flopping the nuts again and getting paid.

The latest victim of this man was John Kabbaj who had raised with AJ and was forced to call when his opponent flopped the nut straight with KQ on the A-J-T board and pushed.

He now has, according the guestimates of Ash Hussain, Julian and Bad Girl around 180k. Easily the super chip leader.

More accurate accounting, perhaps, by supersleuth Stephen Bartley - 134,000 (still chip leader) and this is the Mystery Russian, who won't, apparently, give a full name when questioned.  He is simply "Rodion," which sounds like an obscure vitamin in breakfast cereal, or something which makes ants in 50s movies grow really really big.

Sounds like a Star Wars bounty hunter to me....

[NoflopsHomer]

Who does this foot belong to? Come on, somone guess.


And what does the opponent of "Rodion" have in this hand below?



Get your guessing hats ON people.

Hi de hi campers!

The cat asked me to pass on her regards.

And also our Myspace profile quote of the day - "I cuss like a freaking sailor".

[NoflopsHomer]

Hi Dana, this still occupying your time?

[Djinn]

It's the closing 15 minutes of Day 1A currently, and although quite a few short-stack all-in-or-bust moves are being made, there's not a whole lot of reportable action going on.  Just 42 remain, and look likely to do so, coming back on Day Two for the redraw in which they will be intermingled with their Day 1B brethren.

Although this event is Twice As Popular as last year, it's not actually sold out, and the field, although nice and chunky, is not unmanageable.  With under a hundred looking like they'll make it back for day 2, we should be able to cover the thing in something resembling detail.....

Headphones:  Small and early 90's walkman style a la Steve, or chunky I-might-DJ-in-my-spare-time a la Ramzi?
