EPT Copenhagen Day 1A - Interactive

[Djinn]

And hello all brave afternoon watchers - I set my alarm clock for 12:50 (should be able to get in the lift and walk into the casino in 45 minutes, right?) but failed to set the time on my phone correctly, so when I actually got up it was 1:50, thus causing no-shower panic which was entirely unnecessary given the lateness of the start.  That's the only thing to be criticised here, though, we have wifi, free cokes (the ones in glass bottles) and the tournament area is sensibly laid out with space between the tables and everything.

And unfortunately for us Brits, it looks like Stuart Rutter was the very first exit of the day, almost 45 minutes ago in fact (According to EPT London finalist, Peter Hedlund).

Hopefully one of Stu's friends, or Stuart himself will fill you in on the details of the hand.

I can only assume that it was a cooler.

If this guy's eyeball starts bleeding, it might be a tell.

any pics jen?

Pics coming soon, I'm just finishing off obtaining descriptions of all the players so I can identify them when they move.

Not too many players I recognise today, so it could be a nightmare if i don't do this now.

Just brutal, my empty seat is explained by the way I predicted I would go out to continue my miserable run, middle set agsinst top set. It was against Peter Hedlund who I´ve played some massive pots with in the past with both of us having very little, so I think it was unpassable.

It all went in on

                         vs    

Gutted, but youn can´t let this game get you down, so I´m trying to keep smiling!

Ul pal... nobody lays down there... well maybe Paul parker but nobody else

[b4matt]

Hows Nick doing guys please... updates when u get the chance :-=) dc too if he's still in... :-))

[Djinn]

Pics, then - from the Upstairs tables (I think 14-20) - this is why there's a decent amount of space between the tables in the main room this year - some players have been moved into a room of their own, like:

Isabelle Mercier
Peter Eichhardt
Steve Vladar
Nick Slade

has slade got a willhill shirt on?

[Jim R]

Hey Matt did you not win a seat whats going on

[Djinn]

As you can see, the blinds have just been raised to 50/100.  As you may also see, screen left, the whole thing seems to be under the banner of 'TK Poker Events International' - he's not even here and he's subliminally promoting himself...

[snoopy1239]

15 minutes into the 50/100 level and we still have very few exits, one of the few has been identified, and he is Helge Stjernvang.

[Djinn]

has slade got a willhill shirt on?

Yes, yes he does.  I will hazard a guess - he qualified on Crypto?  If there's anything else to it, I'll bug him in the first break to tell me.
