EPT Dortmund: Day 1B - Interactive

[Djinn]

Paul Gourlay made it 600 to go under the gun.  One mid-position caller, and one of the blinds re-raised another 1,000.  Paul called, and so did intermediate caller.
Flop:    The re-raiser simply moved in now for 4,900.  Round to Paul who looks at the third player gauging how many chips he's got and then eventually calls.  The other guy gets out of the way, Paul shows which were actually good against , and stayed that way.

Hello

Is there a player there with the surname Clinton (his alias is ClintonO)?

I've been following his blog recently and was wondering how he's getting on.

Sry, I have no further information, but if you spot a Clinton anywhere on the list, please could you let me know.

More Gourlayaction.

First on a board he bets enough to put Ben Grundy all-in who passes quickly. Paul shows .

Next he limps in mid position and calls George Danzer's 800 chip raise before calling Danzer's push on a . The latter action was done albeit quite reluctantly and included him asking other players if they felt George had Aces.

George:



Paul:



Turn:



"Lots of outs now," says Paul. George stays impassive.

River:



George up to 7k. Paul on around 30k still though.

The chip leader is Sebastian Ruthenberg who had pushed on a 4-T-5-4-Q board for 11.5k with 19.5k already in the pot. He found a surprising caller from a pair of sevens, which have put him up to 42k.

I'll have a look. He plays a lot on Crypto I think.

Do you know who here qualified with?

I've found him snoops, the very helpful Tony Chessa pointed him out to me. A Cryptologic regular, he's here sponsored by Littlewoods and at the moment, he has 10,350.

Thanks, Floppy.

Good evening Jen and Floppy, hope you are both well.

How is Ian "Hotdog" Fieldmouse doing ?

He kept that a bit quiet about playing in this.

Will find out for you now Ralph, I'm sure he started a thread about winning his seat somewhere a couple of weeks ago.

Pretty well, actually.  Over 20k currently, despite just getting away from a set of Deuces, like so:
A five-way limped pot, with a 2-3-6 flop.  Two checks, a bet of 900, Ian raised it to 2,200 and one of the blinds ("rocky") just pushed in over the top for 11,000.  Ian thought about it for a while, determined he'd shown enough strength for a bigger set or the flopped straight to do that (although he says he would have doubled the guy up if he'd just called and checked again on a blank), and laid it down.
He was shown the 4-5 just to confirm his suspicions.

What service 

Only on Blonde.

Nice escape, Ian.

The Flying Dutchman Marcel Luske has been scuttled. Jacks versus Aces, with an ace on the flop for good measure.

Stuart Rutter's table has just returned from break.  When I saw his stack was now 15,300, he said, "I tried to give some of it to Ramzi the last hand before the break, but it worked out for me."  What had happened?  They'd seen a flop .  Ramzi bet 600.  Call. 
Turn:    Now Ramzi bet 1,500, and Stuart (out of position, probably should have mentioned that before) check-raised it to 3,500 (he held , by the way, probably time to tell you that, too).  Call. 
River:     Stuart bet out 5,000.  This is the crucial part where he considered himself to have gotten the hand to go his way - the bet was so large that even though Ramzi (with Ace-high) had pretty much sussed that Stu's hand was a bit dodgy, he couldn't really do much in the way of raising.  He still thought about it for ages before passing with what one imagines to be slight irritation. 
Stuart was in that funny position of knowing that he (Ramzi) knew that he (Stu) knew that he (Ramzi) knew his hand wasn't great, but couldn't do anything about it.  Silly game.

Thanks for the update!

Rutter knew nothing! Well done dude! Keep it up
