So, having taken some notes on players before they start seat-changing, I can say that unfortunately, Taximan, Kevin O'Connell's not had a good start.  Down to just 3,600 right when we got in the room...I don't think I would like someone asking about that while I was at the table, so I'll wait and pounce in the break.

Also, incredibly famous Patrick Bruel, who seems to go everywhere followed by hordes of TV cameras, has taken an early (possibly fatal) knock at the hands of slowplaying Robert Norberg.  On a board of Patrick bet out 5k, and found Robert pushing in for 3,200 more - but only after some consideration.  It turned out that he had that generally-unlayable-down second set:  , while M. Bruel had just and asked, "how can you wait so long..." plainly not convinced that his opponent was ever going to pass. 

[snoopy1239]

Still early days, but a big hand has already caused a slight stir.

Board =

Mark Secher Petersen =

Allan Aspholm =

Mark bet 1k, Roy Brindley (who was also in the hand) folded, Allan made it 3k, Mark moved all-in and Allan called.

As a result, Mark Secher Petersen is one of the early chip leaders.

[snoopy1239]

TJ Cloutier -- 10,235
Marcel Luske -- 10,750
John 'Punkgloyd' Conroy -- 10,750
Bjorn-Erik Glenn -- 9,650
Rob Hollink -- 5,025
Jan Sjavik -- 6,475
Roy Brindely -- 10,875
William Thorsson -- 9,775
Juha Helppi -- 11,250
Martin Green -- 10,425

-------------------------

Passing through the tables, I caught an all-in on Table 2.

The board read , and Gerald Lemke was all-in with Pocket Bullets versus the of Erik Koskas.

The turn brought a menacing , but the flush never came into fruition as the hit the felt for the River.

As a result, Lemke has doubled up to around the 6k mark.

[Djinn]

Chip counts from table Dan Smith, who after his erratic but very watchable performance in Dublin could be one to keep an eye on chipwise over here...

Table 15:

(1) John Baarstrom        11,725
(2) Tom McEvoy             4,700
(3) Henrik Engsig            9,525
(4) Dan Smith                8,200
(5) Kent Ballegaard         10,700
(6) Age Spets                6,125
(7) Lotte Kalland            9,800
( Thomas Blomberg      10,600
(9) Peter Asterfeldt        12,100
(10) Donny Morris            9,800

Not a whole bunch separating this lot, but elsewhere the chips are more unbalanced.  A sample:

Birgitta Johansson  15,300
John Kabbaj           11,400
Per Ummer             1,000
Ingemar Backmann  8,325
Jim Kerrigan            9,800
Gunnar Ostebrod    13,600
Iwan Jones            16,000

Also saw Les Kerrigan wandering behind the ropes, keeping an eye on brothers, having turned his player badge backwards and pinned it on his sweater like a press pass.  I salute your ingenuity, sir - done the same thing many a time in the early days.  Now, just a matter of roping him in to doing some updating...

[snoopy1239]

Ole Andersen -- 4,550
Jeff Kimber -- 9,925
Jim Kerrigan -- 11,000
Erik Friberg -- 11,750
Gunnar Ostebrod --14,475

[Djinn]

Nick Slade can't tear himself away from the casino (to be fair it's a bit miserable outside) and brings the story of Iwan's chip gain hand...

There's a raise preflop, a Norwegian in the middle calls, Iwan calls with 7-8...
Flop:  6-8-9  "The Yank bets 1,200, the Norwegian folds, Iwan makes it 3,600, The Sherman Tank goes all-in, leaving Iwan less than 3k to call...he was up against Kings."
Turn:  9
River  8

Meanwhile, Patrick Bruel is OUT, while Kevin O'Connell is back to 9,000 somehow.

TJ Cloutier just doubled up to 16k after hitting a set.

[Djinn]

Hand between Kim Hemmingsen (who moved in on the turn for 4,025 with 3,200 in the middle already) and Rehne Pedersen, who was thinking about making the call.
The board:  .  Eventually he called (leaving himself under 2k behind), showing .
Kim Hemmingsen had .
River: 

Oooh, say the crowd, and they split the pot.

That makes the chips on that table (16) look like this: 

(1) Mikael Fors            8,000
(2) Peter Swartling     12,625
(3) Tyrone Kerrigan     11,525
(4) Brian Hansen         19,000
(5) Claus Andreasen    4,100
(6) Rehne Pedersen     8,000
(7) Tobias Nebel          2,900
( Kim Hemmingsen    6,600
(9) Martin Wendt         14,000
(10) Soren Knudsen      13,600

[Djinn]

And Table 17...

(1) Andre Alcaria             9,000
(2) Anders Wijk              12,000
(3) Guenther Hornung     14,000
(4) Bo Knil Jensen           16,525
(5) Marius Olsvik              7,100
(6) Paul Linton                9,025
(7) Mads Andersen          5,700
( Gary Haglund             8,250
(9) Mikkel Haga               10,200
(10) Sverre Sundbo         7,200

[Djinn]

Meanwhile (if you can take your collective eyes off the pictures of the DTD girls) Iwan Jones is your probable chip leader right now, with just under 30,000.
Neighbour-to-Iwan counts (I was there, after all):
Gunnar Ostebrod   27,000
Griffin X Sanchez    11,000  (what an awesome name)
Anne Lovmo         5,200

Well, action caught by us or not (not, when there's poor photoshopping to be done) here are some more chip counts:

Table 14

(1) Steven Heard          10,250
(2) Jeff Kimber               5,125
(3) Mikael Gibbermark      OUT/moved
(4) Tobias Christensen     11,500
(5) Jeppe Juhl                11,000
(6) Ghassen Yafaoui        12,100
(7) Ole Andersen             8,100
( Henric Carlsson           7,425
(9) Hilmar Tveit               10,600
(10) Janno Andersen       12,000

Just saw a hand here when Jeppe Juhl pushed in on a flop, against preflop caller (of his raise, oddly, I think) Ghassen Yafaoui.  He got the call for his 4k or so, showing .  Ghassen showed , and was told, "I am the favourite," by his opponent.
Turn: 
River:  I don't even think it was dealt (which is very strange practise indeed).
