EPT Dortmund: Day 2 - Interactive

[rudders]

thanks guys- sounds like bedlam- best team there is.... thanks

[Djinn]

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

I think the idea is to get to the final table, but I reckon they'll stop when it hits 3 or 4am.  I have to say there hasn't been a whole lot of flop play, or really big hands that don't involve a preflop push/call scenario in the last hour or so. 

[tikay]

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.

We know it's a struggle for you both Jen, & Floppy, but hang in there, the Webcast has not damaged our Traffic, & anyway, your Coverage is better.

A shame about the TV Directors getting upset, it's almost impossible to imagine......

We are with you all the way.

where do i find the german live webcast?

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.

Wow, Oh to - just once in my life - have a Stack like Mr Yeh! i'm so jealous.

24 players left, and we are redrawing the last 3 tables.

This coincides with the departure of Paul 'Pab' Foltyn. With blinds 5k/10k/1k, he pushed utg for 75k with A-K, the short stack next to him called all-in for 25k with A-Q and the flop came Q-T-x but Pab missed his 7 outs. This left him with about 50k left, 10 of which went straight into the big blind, Vincent Solaski, who Pab said had been very aggressive, raised, and Pab called all-in with A-T and found himself racing against pocket nines. It was a race he lost sadly, though not that much of a race since Ben Grundy and one other player both said they had both passed an Ace.

I believe Phillip's middle name is "Clap Your Hands Say"

While Jen gets the new seating arrangements, how about this for the consolation tournament...

€1000 entry fee.

First five levels are 20 minutes long.

30 minute levels from then after.


Anyone think they missed out?

the Webcast has not damaged our Traffic

Trafic? Traffic? Is that all we are to you Mr Tikay?!

To tell the truth, my concern is for our Updaters, working in really difficult conditions, & then folks Post on here "look, you can watch the Live Webcast here @ >>>>>>>>"......!

I really feel for Jen & Floppy, & was trying to keep their chins up.

[Djinn]

No no, on the contrary, I encourage people to watch the live TV - it's just one of the tables and saves lets us get down to the business of trying to see what's going on on the other tables which are being somewhat ignored (except by hordes of spectators actually in Dortmund).

Go to the EPT website and follow the links from there...

ah I'm only takin the piss!

Have the bloggers been restricted access they were meant to have because of the webcast?

This would be a shame, as the webcast only covers the featured table. Also, while it is a nice development to be able to watch it, the commentators have been talking
utter gibberish all day, and can't even read the hands/boards when they are right in front of the camera.

[Djinn]

Table 1 (TV table)

Gunnar Rabe
Tobias Holmeide
Tommy Dender
Mike Tse
Eric Lindberg
Nicolas Levi
Madassar Khan

Table 2

Mark Bartlog
Philip Yeh
Tuncer Allezer          (hang on, not any more - Homer has the hand)
Ben Grundy
Thomas Fougeron
Jens Vortmann
Vincent Sokalski
Christiano Blance

[NoflopsHomer]

Tuncer Allezer is OUT, with Nines against Thomas Fougeron's , a raggy flop and Tuncer moves all-in and Fougeron called(?) but somehow spiked an Ace on the river.

Mike Tse is OUT, A-7 vs Jacks of Nicolas Levi with a Jack on the flop and the slim runner runner straight possiblity extinguished by the ace turn.
