EPT Warsaw: Day 1A - Interactive

[NoflopsHomer]

Caught Jen at the break, she was in philosophical mood. Mumbling something about Plato and trees falling.

I will be watching the superlative efforts of Snoopy and Homer while considering if there are any sights to see...  Good luck everyone still in (just going to read all the updates to make sure I don't wish post-elimination luck to anyone, but at a guess Ramzi, Henning (currently well chipped up, looked happy in the break), Richard Gryko, Karl).

Incidentally, Henning is chip leader I believe with around 70k.

And breaking news, Johnny Lodden is OUT, he pushed with A-7, found two callers in Mads Andersen and Ramzi Jelassi, Ramzi then bet the A-x-x board getting Mads to fold either Queens or Jacks we think. Ramzi held A-K and the case ace came on the river, but no 7 to save Lodden.

great updates guys but did we ever get to the bottom of the hand jen held against the set of with the diamonds on the board?

Jim Kerrigan just made an eye-brow raising pass (well, in my humble opinion anyhow).

Neighbour, Denis Plejdrup, raised it up to 2.5k pre-flop and Jim smooth called.

"Are you an aggressive player or a tight player?" asked Denis, which tickled my ribs slightly.

Flop = and Denis bets out 4.1k, leaving himself around 5k behind.

At this point, Jim dwells it up for a bit before passing Eights face up.

Personally, I thought this was a strange pass considering the pre-flop call. If he's going to call pre-flop, then what sort of Flop is he looking for (with the exception of the unlikely 8-x-x of course)?

Perhaps he found his read of Denis better come the Flop and just thought he was behind, who knows, but I was surprised when he revealed Eights.

No idea what Denis held, but I think he found his answer to the initial question.

Yes, but I'm afraid I have been sworn to secrecy. I can reveal, however, that it was one of three hands:

[snoopy1239]

50 players remaining, only about 20 minutes left.

[Ironside]

i think the 3rd of those 3

[snoopy1239]

i think the 3rd of those 3

Only Jen shall reveal, if she so chooses, but I can see all three as possibilities.

[Djinn]

i think the 3rd of those 3

Honestly, you give me no credit - limp re-raise early with AQoff...

[NoflopsHomer]

If you're wondering, like I was why Jim Kerrigan and Priyan De Mel are wearing Borussia Dortmund tops, Karl said it was a group thing in Dortmund, but he didn't want any part of it.

[Ironside]

How did Jim get to 45k!?

Knocked out Priyan?

Probably in bits. He had 28k, then 32k, then 35 - not sure how he made that last jump though.

Play has now finished for the day - I think Floppy is on his way back with a few final stories. After that, we'll see what the odds are on an end of day chip count.
