BADEN EPT - Day 1B - Interactive

[NoflopsHomer]

Andy Black ran into a set of Queens, and was left with around 6700 which he pushed in with A-T from the cut-off after an UTG raise. UTG had only 3-3 and a Ten on the flop was enough for the double up.

Elsewhere Ash Hussain just took another decent sized pot with after raising utg he got one caller in mid position and the board was checked to the river  where Ash bet and was called by errrrr ....

A couple of counts from the rapidly dwindling 54 (although I stand by my guess of 45 left):

Andy Black        21,500
Edgar Skjervold  16,000
Peter Eichhardt  27,000
Paul Testud       14,000
Vicky Coren       11,100
Juha Helppi        14,300
Ash Hussain       22,000   (quite a comeback, no?)
Martin Wendt    19,000
and
Azad Pivooti       78,000  (Ramzi says he is Swedish - anyone verify or add anything?  So far he's a bit of a mystery, identified by the Buddha statue....)

He is swedish, Iranian background, plays as __Dolly__ on ladbrokes. The blonde guy with the budha card protector is called Tomas, plays as  Five_Aces on various sites. Please wish these two luck from me pls guys. Thanks.

Play has sidled to a close.

It looks like there are 45 left.  I win.

I suppose I could report how in the last minutes, Vicky Coren was all-in twice, the latter time to resteal the button's steal, and the former with .
To elucidate:  SB vs BB (she is BB):  Flop:  .  The small blind makes a bit of a bet; call.
Turn:    Now it goes bet, raise, re-raise all-in etc etc. but the split is clear before the chips really move - he had .
Vicky says, "That magical Five.  What was that?" (pointing at his hand...)

Also Peter Eichhardt had a pretty good last level, finishing on over 65k.  Man, can that guy talk.

And, er, that's about it - Homer has a few tales to tell, but I reckon after a nominal wait for the chip count email, we are going to fight our way to the bar for a short while.  Hell, it's not even midnight - barely midafternoon for a UK tournament veteran like I pretend to be...

Sick. Sick sick sick. 45 players left with 20 minutes left and NOT ONE goes out. 

I even saw a guy push with against  and flop a flush. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Anyways, here be the last five tables and the 45 pfffffft players.

Table Crazy Eyes
Table Stand In My Way
Table Black In Pink

In here are the other two. The first includes Ash Hussain, my climber of the day who went from 3k to 36.8k in two levels.

Table Blondie McBigstack
Table Scandietastic

So that is it. 83 runners will return tomorrow at 11am (your time, if you're in the UK). Also the 2,000 Euro consolation tournament will be up and running and hopefully we'll be able to check on every now and then. Fingers crossed we'll have a full list of chip counts and players for tomorrow sent to us by the incredibly helpful staff here. Time for bed.

"Vicky Coren finds the nuts at just the right time" news now. Late position mateyboy raised to 1,800 with pocket kings and must have thought he was ahead when Vicky Coren pushed all-in for 9,700 from one of the blinds so obviously he insta-called. Unfortunately for him, Vicky was holding  and when she four-flushed the four he was left rueing his chances at running into such a big monster. He ran AT into the almost as big AA shortly after so is now out.

some people have tried to tell me that Vicky was the actual 1st player to claim the  , i dont know
