..I'm watching the EPT live coverage of the featured table....


Lee Jones does something that I always find annoying. A player bets on the flop and another player moves all-in, Lee Jones jumps in to start counting the alin players chips.

Exactly what is the dealer there for ?

Why do tournament directors feel the need to do this? The dealer wasn't having any sort of problem, but Lee Jones just jumped in for no reason.


Does this confuse or irritate anyone else?

Totaly agree. I also hate when he jumps in when its a showdown and puts the whole cards way up so we almost dont see them... What is that all about?

[DesD]

Can't beat Jen and Floppy.....

[rebornVTV]

im more annoyed of the concentration level of the commentators at the moment.

a limper, both small blind and big blind limped resp. check to see a flop. John Duthie went "a couple of limpers, could be interesting".

then the flop came down 442, small blind bet out, BB went over the top AI. Then the both commentators started guessing the hands. They both saying, time and time again,  that the SB has a five. why on earth does he have a 5 and what does that has to do with the flop?

Lee Jones probably wants to be seen more often on tv now, to maximise the popularity of pokerstars. Like John repeatedly mentions pokerstars.com on TV.

Mickey Wernick (shown here, sitting next to Pab) is OUT - blinds are now 5k/10k ante 1k and he got his short stack in against Eric Lindberg (On the far right with the demon eyes)'s A-J with Q-9 - no joy.  "Now you need some luck," he says as he heads to get his prize.

28 players remain.

[Djinn]

Down one Dirk Specht too - about the same time as Mickey.  Prize money for 30th and 29th - €9,250

[rudders]

you have probably told us- but how many are they playing to tonight- and brits stack size if poss please.

[NoflopsHomer]

Phillip Yeh (pictured) bets out what looks like around 75k on the turn of a board. Gunnar Rabe moves all in and Phillip passes after a short dwell

Gunnar shows .

By the way, chips counts and hands are a REAL bugger to get again, they've closed off the last 4 tables off and the press are stuck behind the same rail as the spectators, so very hard to see anything again.

[Djinn]

Man, we're really struggling to see what's going on.  I mean the detail, like whose are the cards that are on their backs, how much is in the pot/stacks, what the board cards are.  Ropes have finally gone up around the three non-TV tables, but it' too much too late - a jostly crowd of non-journalists kept annoying the directors, and now the press and others are behind the lines.  Mainly, I am behind tall people.

Therefore please excuse the rather basic coverage now.

Marco Liesy is OUT, for all of you not watching the live coverage online...

27 players left, I imagine three tables of nine reforming.

[Djinn]

John Duthie confirms: there is now going to be a redraw.  I think we'll wait for it to settle and then give you all the names and positions of the last three tables.  Probably not full counts, though, sorry in advance.

 keep up the great work Jen and Floopy,...... the live webcast is only covering the TV table, ....and its not too detailed at that !!
