BADEN EPT - Day Two Live Update - At A Glance

[Djinn]

Fourth table break already - the upstairs part of Day Two has dwindled - it looks like the last three tables will be in the Darkroom downstairs next to the TV table - going to be very tough to get photos in there with no flash, so I'll build up a few now..

Two more tables' counts:

Table Nearly-Chip-Leader

Nicolai Vivet      67,000
Morten Erlandsen  50,000
Christian Togsverd  180,000
Sven Polarski          46,000
Michael Ellis            30,000

Michael is British, and I am rooting for him especially as last time I played with him I outdrew his expertly-played Aces.  May the luck be on his side today...

And Table Hard-To-Spell

Csaba Kuremszki     30,000
Anders Osterstrom  53,000
Ramzi
Kristian Kjondaln     66,000
Ronny Eidem         17,000  (who beat with to stay in with even that many chips)
Jurgen Klein          25,500
Thang Duc Nguyen  100,000

[Djinn]

Yet more chip counts (what a huge difference having a full list of players in seat order makes):

Table Lucky Goodwin

Argyris Argyrou    60,000
Dario Mineri         76,000
Martin Wendt      90,000
Matthias Stieger   62,000
Jules Kuusik         20,000
Marc Goodwin      68,000  (more on that in a minute)

Table Steady Storakers

Johan Storakers    133,000
Rob Hollink            40,000
Mika Paasonen       15,000
Markus Golser        79,000
Tomas Martinsson   70,000
Phil Shaw              16,000
Age Spets            105,000
Hans Eskilsson        22,100

[Djinn]

SO - Marc Goodwin.  With the Aces.  On the Button.  Holding 20,000 - -

Only AQ and AK against him.  That's how quickly it can all change, folks.

[NoflopsHomer]

We're just on a 20 minute break which will shortly be over after which the blinds will be 1200/2400 with a 300 running ante.

[Djinn]

The field has almost halved, with 42 players remaining.  Down to the bit where the money is in sight (36 get paid).  No sign of slowing, however.

[Djinn]

Oh go on, let's have that payout structure one more time....

1        487,397
2        251,560
3        125,780
4        110,057
5          94,335
6          78,612
7          62,890
8          47,167
9          31,445
10 - 12  18,867
13 - 15  15,722
16 - 18  12,578
19 - 27  9,433
28 - 36  6,289

Vicky Coren has gone. She called a button raise with A4 and pushed on the K-4-2 flop but the button made a good call with 55. Then short stacked, she shortly went out afterwards with K-9 to the T-T of the same guy.

Thanks to Sverre Sundbo for that.

Morten Erlandsen (Pokergirl1?) is also OUT. He pushed with K8 on the button but the SB had the dominating AK, made more dominating by the A-K-J-3-3 board.

[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.

[Djinn]

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

[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...

[NoflopsHomer]

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 32 get paid. So a certain rapper may show his face  later...

[NoflopsHomer]

37 players are left...


You know what that means....










Yes you do....




STOP, BUBBLETIME!
