EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 1A - Interactive

[littlemissC]

There is a Paul Linton too who has played previous EPT's...

OH NEVER MIND IM JUST REALLY EXCITED TODAY.

NICK HAVE YOU SEEN THAT SIMON TRUMPER IS PLAYING IN THE 20POUND COMP TONIGHT AT NOTTS.YOU FANCY COMING DOWN?

Naturally, plenty of Americans have been lured in by the Monte Carlo razzmatazz  and the the huge prizepool, but due to an unfortunate lack of a playerlist (I do hope we receive one), I'm going to have trouble identifying our friends from across the pond. However, Paulie from TaoPoker is here, and I'm sure he'll help me name a few of these well known Americans, so hopefully we can offer an eclectic range of nationalities today.

I did spot Gobboboy, fresh off his 2nd place finish in the Aussie Millions this January - he's truly unmissable. Also, I did recognise Kevin O'Donnell, who I believe did very well in various WSOP events last year.

Hello, from across the pond! I can help you with the Americans as time progresses if you like. There is a list of players on Pokerstars, but it is done by using their online names. Please feel free to message me if you want any specific real names.

I believe this is your son?

As I exit the cardroom, a bemused tikay grabs me to tell me of yet another of poker's 'grey areas'. According to tikay, a young chap made a 3.5k bet on the River and was called. When the aggressor realised he'd been called, he said, "Well done, you got me" and folded his hand. At this point, the caller mucked his hand too However, the dealer picked him up on this and said he can't muck his hand and that he has to show to which the player responded, "But why not, he's thrown his hand away" Anyhow, it didn't really go any further because his opponent said it was okay and didn't want a fuss, which was very sporting of him, but it just shows how many controversial aspects there are to poker regarding these rules and what people's understanding of them are.

Not a familiar face to many. But this is Annette_15, emerging star from the online world.

[NoflopsHomer]

Sometimes, players can really make it hard for me to take a photo, by doing things such as...falling asleep



Or scoffing a sandwich...

[laz]

can u check my friend if u got time? andor daroczi , i think he's playing at table 23 seat 6 (photo would be nice too )

[NoflopsHomer]

Not often spotted on European soil, this is Victor Ramdin, part of Team Pokerstars.


And Martin Wendt, who is probably going to win the 'Silliest Over-Sized Headphones' Award.

Arr!......thats what the scandie raising machine looks like!!!

[snoopy1239]

I recall a request for this chap, who I hope is Andor Daroczi currently playing on table 23 seat 6. Seems like a quiet, focused chap, although he did just lose a few chips on a board on a 7-Q-6-Q-T board, his opponent holding 8-9 for the straight. Nothing catastrophic though, he's still on 13,200.

Is Phil Ivey playing in this?

Annette_15 still looks 15. She's got quite some online record.
