EPT Dortmund: Final Day - Interactive

[NoflopsHomer]

What's so bad about comparing Thomas to an almighty powerful being that almost brought the World to it's knees?

I think he'd be chuffed to bits with the comparision, just as I was when Mad said I looked like Brad Pitt.

Snoopy...this is awful. You obviously thought I was flirting with that Brad Pitt comment!!! But I actually meant Brad in "Fight Club", not the chap with highlights and a skirt in Troy.

Either way, you said I have the body of a Roman God combined with a Greek Adonis and that if I hadn't been busy that day, Michelangelo would have sculptured me instead of David - but that's neither here nor there, did NoflopsHomer bring you any sweets?

You run hiding when it comes to fridge-moving though...

[NoflopsHomer]

We almost had a third all-in called in a row but Erik Lindberg decided to pass against Jacob Rasmussen's push. Gunnar Rabe, having taken two players out, is now the chip leader.

[Djinn]

So down to six suddenly, and Gunnar Rabe might well be the new chip leader.  Mike Tse played him on Day Two and said he was liable to call.  In general. 

[NoflopsHomer]

Breaking news!!! John Duthie came up to pressroom and has loaded his jacket pockets full of sweets. See if you can spot him sneaking a jelly baby in between the announcing...

This story may not be 100% true.

New Chip Standings:

Andreas Hoivold    280,000
Erik Lindberg        430,000
Jacob Rasmussen  480,000
Sebastian Ruthenberg  760,000
Christiano Blanco    1,150,000
Gunnar Rabe         2,000,000

[Djinn]

Sebastian raises to 65k.  Christiano (the button) re-raises a further 100k.  It works again, another pot for the Italian football journalist.

Gunnar's button - raise to 50k, Andreas in the small blind instapushes, and Gunnar gives it up without a moment's resistance.

Seat 1: Andreas Hoivold, 35, from Kristiansand, Norway
Andreas Hoivold’s  decision to turn pro seven months ago has proved a pretty good move. In December, he banked $250,000 after coming 3rd in the Poker Million and he is now on the final table in Dortmund, assured of at least €60,300. He also won €24,000 last May after winning the Tallin Challenge Cup in Estonia. Andreas used to have the largest comic book collection in Norway and is known as the “Cartoon Collector” - but he recently sold the lot to concentrate on his poker career. His card marker is a Mickey Mouse.

[Djinn]

Preflop Raiser Andreas Hoivold finds Erik Lindberg moving in preflop (over the 66k raise).  This time he takes a lot longer to make a decision, and the decision is...to pass. (He flashes a red Ace).

That brings this session to its Dinner Break - Back in 40 minutes.

i hate to drag this on... but then again, i also hate to be misquoted. there was no talk whatsoever about Gods or Adonis. We were talking about Hobbits at the time. And as you know, when I said Michelangelo wanted to sculpt you, that was for the collectable Smurf figurine collection he was creating for Asda. (lucrative Michelangelo sideline not many people know about because the collection was actually marketed under the "Made in Taiwan" label. )

Seat 5: Sebastian Ruthenberg, 23, from Hamburg, Germany -
Known as “Luckbox”, Sebastian is a big online player and qualified for this event in a PokerStars Frequent Player Point satellite. Now a professional and well-known in Germany, he’s been playing about three years. His biggest win so far was 50k in an invitational tournament. Online, he plays both tourneys and cash games.

[Djinn]

Right away post dinner break and Andreas is all in first hand, no callers, before passing his big blind the next hand to Sebastian Ruthenberg's 75k preflop raise.

Third hand, Andreas now the small blind gets a fold round to him.  We're all thinking he's going to go for it - and he does.  "All my cookies."  Erik might well have been expecting it too, but 270k or so a bit much to call with whatever it was the big blind gave him.

It looks like the table short stack isn't content to remain so, and I am just going to keep reporting hands because eventually someone will call him.

Andreas has been all in preflop three times already, the next hand there's a limper (Gunnar) - he notices, asks, "You want me to raise it?" passes instead and lets Sebastian check the big blind.
Flop:    Sebastian checks, Gunnar bets 40k and that wins it.

One hand off, and Andreas raises the next one to 75k and big blind Christiano Blanco calls.  Christiano checks the Q 7 3 flop, Andreas bets 85k, counts himself down as having around 290, "Call it 300."  Christiano passes.  The audience is warming to the odd Norwegian. 

"It was only 293k."

[NoflopsHomer]

Jacob raises to 75k, Christiano calls, as does Gunnar.

Flop:



Christiano checks. Gunnar checks, Jacob moves all-in and both pass quicky.

Jacob announces, "Aces."

Lee Jones says, "Well, we'll see that on TV."

Jacob smiles a little...think he might have been lying...

I've done it. I've cracked Snoopy. He's been reduced to nothing more than a blubbering icon. And it only took three posts.
