EPT BADEN - Final Day Live Update - Interactive

[thetank]

Boooooo, Thang got rivered.

[Djinn]

Actually, you are lucky, but only because my camera batteries just ran out and so Chris is getting you pictures, which will be far better than mine.

[NoflopsHomer]

A veritable flurry of hands for you now.

Firstly Peter Eichhardt bet 70k on a Jack high board only for Ben Johnson to push for only another 70k, Peter felt obliged to call with A-T but Johnson's K-J was good and remainined so.

Next Dario doubled up Argyris with Q-4 against A-9 on a 6-7-8-K-J board.

Then Argyris doubled up Rodion after raising his BB from the SB, the Russian's A-K was good and held against the Cypriot's A-9

I think Thang Nguyen plays on Party a fair bit. Used to always eat the leaderboard for breakfast last year.

Can't for the life of me remember his Party username, but it'll come to me soon.

Had a few "Clash of the Titans" battles with him last summer. If it's the same chap, I'm in his corner today.

gooooooo on, shake your groove Thang

Tis ok, the guy I was thinking of is called Thach, not Thang. So this is a different Nguyen. 

Sod it, I'll root for him anyway. 

[NoflopsHomer]

Argyris Argyrou is our 10th place finisher.


Crippled in the Rodion encounter. His last chips went in with  but he was up against Dario's dominating 

The flop came:

 

Ooooooooohhhhhhhhs and Ahhhhhhhhhhhhs from the crowd.

Turn:

 

Yells and screams from the italian contingent.

River:

 

[thetank]

yayay, telly bubble

[Djinn]

Yes, although you've technically made the final table if you come 9th, it's the Eight who get shown all over Europe who benefit, having their profile raised etc. etc.  Chris is tableside currently - maybe now might be a good time for some chip estimates...

[Djinn]

There's quite a spectator ring at the moment - it's good that the nine are still playing in the Atrium bit as there's access all round the table, but someone else's head always seems to be in the way of the chip counting... nevertheless, here's my best attempt (in seat order):

Rodion           250,000
Daniel Dodet   210,000
Sasa Biorac     170,000
Peter Eichhardt  330,000
Jonas Molander  348,000
Dario Mineri       525,000
Ben Johnson     490,000
Andrea Balla      265,000
Thang Nguyen  470,000

[NoflopsHomer]

Ok, they've all moved onto the same table upstairs which won't be redrawn when they go to the TV table. Jen has chippy counts for you.

Meanwhile there's not too many flops and a lot of preflop action.

First, Dario raises to 37.5k (blinds are now 8k/16k with a 1500 ante)

Thang re-raises to 125k. Dario dwells before passing  . Thang shows 

Next Jonas raises TUTG to 40k and Ben Johnson re-raises to 150k. Jonas dwells for ages before folding  face up. Ben doesn't show but I'm reliably informed he had Aces.

Finally Peter limps on the button, Jonas folds the small blinds and Dario moves all-in from the big blinds for over 400k. Peter eventually passes.

Elsewhere Bad Girl is in the money in the €2000, she has 180k which is great considering the average is 97k sooo go Bad Girl!!!

Any news on the 2k event would be nice too.............I believe Richard "Squelch" Redmond was overnight chippie so GL to him and any other Brits still in.

Yes I spotted him in the main room - so I can verify his continued tournament presence.  Will try to take a peek next time I'm up there.

[RED-DOG]

Boooooo, Thang got rivered.

Well shucks, tain't no thang!

[Djinn]

Should probably mention that we're currently on a 10 minute BREAK.......

[NoflopsHomer]

Daniel Dodet (in the middle of the photo) doubles up on the last hand of this level, it was folded round to him one off the cut-off, and he put in a suspicously big raise of 80k, Peter Eichhardt moved all-in from the button. Folded back to Daniel who instantly called.

Daniel:

 

Peter:

 

Board:

 

And Daniel let out a whoop of delight at that river.

Peter is now short and we are on a 10 minute break. Blinds will be 10k/20k with a 2k ante when we return.

[Djinn]

That photo is great because of the spectators - I especially like the three on the right (Ramzi in the middle) looking like they've been told to pose as interested audience members, and starey guy in white on the left, who's clearly worrying the shorter guy stage center.
