EPT Warsaw: Day 1B - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Not too many Wolverhampton players here today, especially with us lacking the company of Surinder Sunar, but I've managed to hunt one down in Chris 'The Rock' Robson.

Now, you don't have to be a genius (or Jenius) to work out how he garnered that name, and this was justified when Dave Colclough, who identified Chris as one of the key Midland players when he was coming into the game 20 years ago (about when Dave was 35 then?), said, "Queens minimum" as Chris re-raised Thomas Holm all-in from the big blind.

Thomas, who was on the button, had made it 2,025 to go, only for Chris to push for 7,475. Thomas folded, but after witnessing him in Copenhagen, he most likely didn't have too much.

Where is Thomas Grundy from ?  Is he related to Ben ?

Thomas Grundy is from London.  He is a third year University Maths student.  Not related to Ben Grundy.  In the money at EPT Copenhagen last year, an online qualifier for his entry there.

You may recall I mentioned a certain New Zealand qualifier who had made the long journey. Well here he is, James Honeybone's his name and poker's his game. Currently on 9,350 after being re-raised off a hand pre-flop.

And right across the other side of the room is this young chap, Christian Öman, merely snapped because of his silly hat.

Iwan Jones is OUT.

He smooth-called a pre-flop raise with Kings before getting it in on a T-9-5 Flop. Unfortunately, the initial raiser had Pocket Nines.

On the same table, similar steady Eddi, John 'PunkFloyd' Conroy of Bad Beat, is running okay with 10,725.

Guess the Hands now.

Raised pot between Age Spets and Tony Cascarino

flop

Age bets 1k and Tony Casacarino calls.

Turn:



Age bets 3.5k, after a dwell Tony calls.

River:



Age puts Tony in for his last 6k or so. Tony eventually calls. Tony ends up being knocked out, but what were the hands?

Btw here is the victorious smiling man.

Also on this table is Matt Tyler and Thomas Grundy, Matt has dribbled down to 4.5k or so, mostly through antes, though he also bluffed off 3.5k with A-K to a set.

Iwan Jones is OUT.

He smooth-called a pre-flop raise with Kings before getting it in on a T-9-5 Flop. Unfortunately, the initial raiser had Pocket Nines.

On the same table, similar steady Eddi, John 'PunkFloyd' Conroy of Bad Beat, is running okay with 10,725.

Iwan Jones' assassin was the scandie Jonas Molander, a consistent performer in these events.

Thanks Mike.  Ben's middle name is Thomas !!

[snoopy1239]

As reported by stand-in ringside watchman Karl Mahrenholz, Jonas Molander is OUT.

"He lost to Aces, mucked on the River, and pretty quickly too, so I reckon he missed a draw of some kind (there were to of one suit on the Flop) and attempted a bluff at the end."

[NoflopsHomer]

Come on guys, lets have some guesses for the Age Spets/Tony Cascarino hand.

[snoopy1239]

Hoang Chuc was also spotted on the rail.

[mbk senior]

Hey Snoopy - how's Ben doing ?  Please say good luck from his family.  Thanks a lot.

I don't think a live update would be complete without the charismatic inverted chair sitter himself, P.I. Dick Slade.

Here is taking the final pot before the dinner break, which, incidentally, is 45 minutes long.
