Jeff Kimber -- 6,700
Cicinatti Sid -- 2,350 (Just saw him push on a board to take down a pot)
George Danzer -- 8,900
John Kabbaj -- 6,275
Ben Grundy -- 6k

Ben was well above 10k until moments ago, then in a 4-way pot on a board, there was a bet of 500, called in one spot, before a raise to 1200. Ben made it 3k getting just the raiser calling. He followed up with a 2.5k bet on the turn which was called before his opponent led out 4k on the river. Ben dwelt for about two or three minutes, as there was now 18k in the pot. Then the dealer actually said something along the lines of, "You have to make a decision." In effect calling a clock, although I was there for the whole hand and no player had called a clock on Ben. (Local german rules say that dealers can call clocks on players). Ben eventually mucked, though he did take exception to the dealer telling him what to do.

Michael Greco to the left of Sebastian Riviere - off to a good start.

Hello can u give a GL to Tonio(21) who is playing today.
All the member of teh "Dijon Poker Tean"  wish him a big s**t for this fisrt big tournement.
For a picture from him visit www.dijonpoker.fr  "Membres/les membres" and Tonio is the "vice tresorier".

Here's your man - sat next to Womble.  Real name Antoine Boudat (Tonio, not Womble), we think - thanks to Benjamin Gallen who, being French, is the best source of such information.

Thanks a lot......

Ordinarily we don't allow links (just for future reference) but your photos are so good that I'd like to leave this one...

Also your blog is in French so might be somewhat tough for us, although everyone can guess what 'Table de la mort' means...

Just a quick reminder that TONIGHT at 8.30 is our last comp on Tribeca before we move networks.

Tonight at 8.30 on blonde-poker $30 NLHE Feezeout with 30 min blind levels.


See you at the tables.

Any news on Richard Wild aka wildrick, he'll be wearing a laddies top.

Yes, yes he is.  And one of those more subdued black ones, so I missed him first sweep of that Hollink/Testud table.  But here he is, yawning already..

Nice one Jen!

[Djinn]

Barney Boatman (top) and Ross Boatman.  It almost comes as a surprise that they're not on the same table, the way the draw has fallen today...

[wsopin07]

Could u please tell Mr Cool that I need him to stay in the comp so I have someone to follow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then ask him if he wants to play 18

[mimilman]

ty Djinn for giving us some news of tonio (dijon powwwwwa).
your coverage of copenhagen was excellent ,i hope it will be the same results for the french players.

Sverre Sundbo is after the title of climber of the day, having been down to just 600, he's now on a more modest 4,000.

We've now got another staggered dinner break, with half the tables getting a one hour dinner break whilst the others play the 100/200 level before having their break.
