EPT Warsaw: Day 1B - Interactive

[Dry em]

Looking at yesterday's chip counts, looks like my bowl of rice has gone under the radar...

Never been knocked out between days before!

You're not exactly hard to miss, you're over 7 foot aren't you??

Wish my stack was....

Hope Nick makes it through the day...need a quick easy double up tomorrow

Here are two cheery chappies in Juha Helppi and Barney Boatman, the former being my pick in the media sweepstake. Good choice do you think?

Also across the table is Jani Sointula, who we've described as Viggo number two, albeit an Albino version.

Jani Sointula -- 10,600
Juha Helppi -- 10,225
Barney Boatman -- 7,875

Whilst we await kick-off, take a look at the shower in our hotel room (the rooms here are tiptop by the way).

Floppy informs me that these monsters are called 'walk-in' showers. I don't really understand that, I mean, how do people get into their showers at home? Abasil in?! Anyhow, it's officially one of the best showers I've been in: powerful nozzle, the water never seeps into the rest of the room, plenty of space - in fact, being one of those rare breeds who likes to sit in showers (does anyone else do this?... please?), I slumped myself in the corner and it was great, very relaxing.

The bathrooms overall here are amazing, they're huge! Bigger than my bedroom at home and possibly even as big as tikay's wardrobe!... almost.

I only logged in to see the shower and have to admit I am disappointed ...

No decent human being should have a smaller shower than that!

2-3 news now! Not often I report this hand winning a big pot, but it did, this time at the hands of Copenhagen runner upper, Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier.

Now I may need tikay's help on this one, if he's lurking somewhere, but the elderly Asian chap on the left (who I can't for the hell of me name even though I know him) made a pre-flop raise from the cut-off, only for ElkY and Ben Grundy to call from the blinds.

K-3-3 Flop and ElkY calls a 400 bet from the initial raiser, Ben Grundy folding in the process.

6 on the Turn and ElkY re-raises his opponents second 400 bet to 1,100, which is subsequently called.

River = 5 (no flushes here) and ElkY bets out 2,350. Asianboy calls, before mucking his cards, slightly bamboozled at witnessing ElkY reveal his slightly paltry (well, pre-flop anyhow) .

Move close to the laptop, it gets bigger.

That is one Chuc Yoang, well, Chuc Yoang, serial winner in Paris, but also Dublin, & Deauville, where we shared a Final Table as pleasant as I can recall. Very tidy Omaha player too, & one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet, a perfect Gent. He's French I think, though I suspect - just a hunch - that he may have Far Eastern origins......

I have a picture of the Nurses.

Let the bidding commence.

Would a picture of Nurses suffice?

Are we talking nurses in shower here?

Age Spets raises and gets one caller, they both check down the Q-6-J-8-K board.

Age says, "You've got me, I've just got a six."

Scandie caller says, "No, you've got me, I've just got a deuce."

Age's wins the pot.

------

Matt (b4matt) Tyler  on the same table, which was the scandie table of dooooooom yesterday.

From the body language, it looks like Thang Duc Nguyen and Nick Slade are both impressed by the size of this guy's shoulders.

This silent but violent chap is Anders Wijk, who you may recall from Copenhagen several weeks back. Anyhow, he's just eliminated Jonny Hewston in dramatic circumstances, catching 'Texas' with his fingers firmly trapped in the cookie jar. On an all heart flop, John had hit top pair with his A-Q, but come the River, the board had dealt out four hearts. Still, this didn't stop John Hewston taking a stab, well, more than a stab really, with him betting out, Anders Wijk minimum raising and 'Texas' moving all-in. Of course, Anders had the Ace of Hearts and oc course he called, leaving Jon to wonder aimlessly around the rail with a slightly perplexed expression on his face.

[snoopy1239]

Came across Nick Slade (he's just got back up to 10k) and Matt Tyler (on around 11k) on my last jaunt down to the cardroom. Matt in particular seem to be in high spirits, so perhaps he should have been my pick rather than Helppi.

I'll make him my second.
