EPT Warsaw: Day 1B - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Blinds have just gone up to 200 and 400 with a running ante of 50.

There are 99 players remaining.

[NoflopsHomer]

No sign of Peter Gould.

Also, Matt Tyler is a gonna, missed 19 outs according to Nick Slade, so I assume he had a big draw which failed to develop.

Matt called a Scandie raiser with , flop . Matt moves in and gets called by A-8.

[NoflopsHomer]

This guy is a relieved man, he just had all his chips in the middle with on a against . The river was a .

[NoflopsHomer]

Dave Gregory has around 40kish and is relatively close to the chip leaders.

[snoopy1239]

Christian Oman (the guy with the funny hat) is OUT.

Also, no sign of Asad Parooti

Richard Lis -- 8,525

There was a bit of a kafuffle on Table Helppi. Apprantly, and this is for the third time, a marked card has been spotted - a small finger nail indent being the culprit.

Robin Keston finds himself all-in with a loud European - they couldn't be more contrasting. Whilst Robin remains seated in his seat, his overturned Ace King in front of him, his opponent rises from his seat excitedly anticipating a coinflip situation with his Pocket Knaves. But that excitement leads to devestation when the Flop deals out both a King or a Jack. But wait, any Jack does it, and even a Queen once the Turn brings the Ten. With Robin still meekly praying to the Gods that no miracle occurs, his opponent leans over and shouts something at the cards as if they were able to respond. Whether he was demanding the Queen or the Jack was academic, as the River couldn't have brought any more of a blank with the black deauce ending any hopes the trailer had. An angry bang of the hands, shoulders slumped, the wounded soldier finally accepts his fate.

And Robin? Well, he barely raised an eyebrow.

Table 4 is the place to be at the moment, the general consensus from the players on there is that they are all steaming, including the dealer.

Rolf Woods, raises in early position, Elky calls from the blinds, Ben Grundy moves all-in from the big blind. Rolf dwells and passes.

Ben practically begs Elky to call. "Please call." "I want you to call." "I want a coinflip." And so on...

Eventually Elky calls and shows

"Uh-oh." says Ben, flipping . (Rolf passed Nines incidentally).

Flop:



Mr Grundy in deep doo-doo.

Turn:



Mr Grundy with 8 outs.

River:



Ben sits back down with 14k now.

Elky, "I guess I'm steaming now."

A small crowd of fans/press gatherered around one table, which is normally a sign that something is going down, so off I run, and, not unurprisingly, we had an all-in, a young man named Sebastian Riviere with his testicles on the line.

The Flop read , and Sebastian was awaiting the decision of his Danish opponent, who was probably settling nerves by saying, "I think I might have to call", especially when the Swede held .

Well, he did call, and he was behind, but by no means dead with , and although a crushing hit the Turn, Riviere er... Rivered his opponent with a fourth nine.

This is what I call a 'fun' hand!

Just as that hand came to an end, England's Dave Welch joined the table.

Nice one Benjamin...

How is Tony Mackay doing, still in?

[snoopy1239]

Now how about this for a shirt?

And, if my records serve me right, the man in the stocks is Łukasz Wasek, a native from Poland I believe.

[NoflopsHomer]

Pascal Perrault arrives at a table and immediately spills a drink all over it.



"Welcome to the party pal!"

[snoopy1239]

This bearded young chap is Marius Turbergsen of Norway with 36,450.

Apparantly, the first three letters of his surname mean 'luck' in Norwegian.
