EPT BADEN - Day Two Live Update - Interactive

[Djinn]

Excuse my ignorance but could someone explain  the term 'straddle'

An optional third, larger, blind bet (often live) under the gun, with perhaps more straddles following.  Sometimes those are live too... makes the game a lot bigger.

[Djinn]

We have a live feed from the TV table in here - the screen is behind me but I can hear the commentary.  Every couple of minutes I hear, "Ramzi raises."  At the moment, he's raising Peter Eichhardt's big blind, who calls.

Flop:     Ramzi bets 12,000 - Peter folds.

This was transcribed live... I could get used to this.

[Djinn]

Now Marc moves all in under the gun for 21,600.  Ramzi asks how much, but thinks better of it, and with no one else even giving it a minute's dwell, he steals wins the blinds.

Dario Minieri doubles up a short stack. He raised one off the cutoff with Q-To to 11k (blinds 1500/3000 with a 300 ante) and the big blind pushed for about 25k total so Dario was forced to call. His opponent had A-K and the 5-3-6-J-7 board was relatively harmless. Dario still has about 120k back though.

That TV table is worth paying attention to, what with Andy Black, Ramzi, Peter Eichhardt, Araz Pirooti, and Birgitta Johansson on it...

Now Marc moves all in under the gun for 21,600.  Ramzi asks how much, but thinks better of it, and with no one else even giving it a minute's dwell, he steals wins the blinds.

Actually, this isn't Goodwin - Mark Bollinger, I believe.

[Djinn]

So Chris is picking Dario Mineri?  I'll take Marc Goodwin.  He just raised to 11,000 in mid position.  Dario made it 25k total from the small blind.  Pretty sharpish Marc announced "all-in" for a good 60k more... and an instafold from the aggressive young Italian.
Marc says, "There's a saying in England - sometimes you get your hands stuck in the till."

[Djinn]

Somewhere along the line we've lost players from the Dark Room (which is actually quite soothing - I think if I sat in the stands around the TV table for too long listening to soothing Austrian-accented announcements, I may have a little nap) - such as Khalil Yafoui, Christopher Roth, Tomas Brolin, Ville Wahlbeck, Phil Shaw, Christopher Truby, Vegard Nygaard and Matthias Eriksson.  This is just a recap, not a recent decimation.

Photo time, especially for Legume...

Peter Gould just suffered a minor hit in his 94k stack, he called Argyris Argyrou short stack push in mid position with  . Pretty reasonable call you'd think right? Especially since Argyris had 

But the flop came or 1 million billion outs twice. Although he only needed the turn so the was incidental.


Elsewhere it's going reallllllly sloowwwwww, after a crazy all-in fest, (scandie-induced I suspect). 38 players are left, and 36 get paid. So a certain rapper may show his face  later...

[Djinn]

Here's the best flashless picture of the TV table I could get (well, of Ramzi and the back of Ms. Johansson's head) - there are stands on three sides, but I haven't figured out how to get to the back lot yet.

[Djinn]

Neighbours at present Peter Gould and Mr. Cool.  They're on a 15 minute break, at the moment, but here they were just moments ago - how animated they look.

Rob Hollink and most of Johan Storakers

Hi Jen et al.

Is Tomas Brolin of Sweden that just got knocked out THE Tomas Brolin? The silky skilled ex-footballer with the Blonde Mullet hair do?

Quality footy player but I wouldn't have him marked down as a poker player.....Most definitely blonde though.

Yes it is. He is sponsored by Nordic bet I think.
