Amsterdam Master Classics: Day Three - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Erich Kollmann is OUT.

He raised pre-flop with A-4, was called in the Big Blind by D Makowsky who had 5-3 of diamonds. The Flop came A-2-6 with two diamonds. Makowsky bet, Kollmann moved all-in and Makowsky called. Turn was a black 4 and Kollmann missed his full house on the Rive. Makowsky is now on around 60k.

Here are the chip counts taken 45 minutes ago (I was starting to wonder if it had all been a nice dream).  So, expect the odd inaccuracy - think of it more of a snapshot in time...

So, no longer strictly accurate, *** indicating no longer actually in the tournament.

That Paul Parker's a lot bigger than he looks on these updates.

We're easily amused...

[Djinn]

Jan Boubli moves all in for over 100k, giving initial raiser Keith Hawkins on the button a decision (Jan's on his right so it must have gone call/raise, raise/re-raise from Keith, re-raise all-in for a lot from Jan).  Anyway, it's a pass.  Next!

[snoopy1239]

J Petersen doubles up in dramatic circumstances, he couldn't resist a bang of the table either...

M Vlek raises from under-the-gun with A-K, shortstacker Petersen makes his move with A-J and Vlek calls.

Flop = A-9-7

Turn = 8

River = T

Ouch, through the back door... otherwise known as up the bummy.

[snoopy1239]

German player, Michael Keiner, is saved on the River all-in against Vienne ESOP victor, Sigi Stockinger.

K-Q vs 6-6, King on the Flop, 6 on the River.

[NoflopsHomer]

Tell Rolf to remember it's a "skill game"

[snoopy1239]

Interestingly, Paul Parker decided to fold Sevens just before his exit. Jan Sjavik had raised to 5k under the gun, leaving Paul a tough decision with his shortstack of 15k. Although he folded, Rolf Slotboom and Keith Hawkins were adamant that he should have made his move there and then.

As we always say, poker is a game of opinions, but I'm with Paul, I don't like calling there. But then again, I haven't won as much as Mr Hawkins or Mr Slotboom.

Hello

Back home with my tail between my legs.

I've been lucky enough to play poker all over the world this year, and i have to say this is the best comp i have ever played in. The Dutch are wonderfully polite, friendly and funny people (schtoooop), they run a fantastic comp- the structure was incredible, they charge no juice, they provide free drinks and buffet, they added huge amounts of money and 9 wsop main event seats- Jeeees this comp is a must play for me next year. Oh... and in some parts of town beautiful women stand in doorways waving at you to come in for a 'chat'... jeees there sooo friendly.

Best of luck to Keith, and as both Thewy and myself are jockeys- he's a cert!

Fab updates snooops and jen- keep em coming!

[Djinn]

Something's happened to Alexander Kuzmin, and it's not good - he's down to just 15,300 (on the TV table) and moves all-in... but no callers, even though the blinds are Rolf and Jan Boubli... (he shows AK).  Paul Parker commentates:  "Just goes to show, you can get your bets through, even with a small stack." 

[Djinn]

************************20 min break*****************************

It's coffeetime.

But first, Rolf 'Ace' Slotboom re-raises to 32,000 on the button, after Sigi puts in an early position raise.  Everyone else has gone to the bar, so when Sigi folds and Rolf takes the pot, there's no-one but the commentator to show interest.

12k 700/1,400 (200)

Okay, here's a question for you.

Which option would you rather choose?

(1) Pay €5,000 for an equal stack of 10k and 350 players (ie, normal comp)

or

(2) Buy into the comp for €5,000 with 12k (700/1,400 blinds) and just 54 players left (which was Paul's Day 3 position).

[snoopy1239]

And as quick as he accrued them, Jerome Bradpiece has conceded his chip leaded and given a chunk of spondoolies to Norseman, Sverre Sundbo.

Sverre raised to 3,600 pre-flop, Jerome called from the bug blind.

Flop =

Jerome checks, Sverre bets, Jerome re-raises, Sverre moves all-in and Jerome calls.

Jerome =

Sverre =

Turn and River both miss Jerome, which means he is now down to 175k whilst Sverre jumps up to 240k.

no doubt nr1 for me.

nr2 would be like playing a super turbo game..either you double up within 2 rounds or you're F'ed...I don't like turbo's

[byronkincaid]

2) I like turbo's
