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

[KarmaDope]

Raising all in on the first level *shakes head* is just pot-stealing. You're pretty much guaranteed to get no callers...I don't think I'd call with AA. Would anybody else?

Call Immedietely

You'd risk your whole tournament on it?

Are you crazy?!  Update Team call so fast it breaks the sound barrier.  So there.

Fine

So if you call with Aces, why not with Kings?

Barry 'Beardy' Greenstein needs a makeover, those jumpers *lol*

Ben Roberts -- 15,925

Ben is one of those players that most poker fans have heard of, but not seen much of, and although he can be spotted on the odd TV comp, he's a rare participant on the circuit yet has an incredibly formidable reputation. Ask anyone who they'd hate to see sit down at their cash game table, and Ben Roberts will one of the names that consistently crops up.

And veering back to the chatty side of high-stakes tournament poker - here's a pic of Nik Persaud, sucking one of those Scandinavian nicotine tea-bag things (Snuss?) which seems to have increased his hyperactivity.  Going back to check on his chips.

Dario Mineri (pictured) just scooped a big pot, I'm guessing all the money went in on the flop with Dario holding and his American opponent holding .

The turn was the so the river was unimportant.

Julian had 11k at the break, he made two pair in the blinds one hand but ran into a flush.

I think Bernard Litman (pictured below) is most likely to be found at Luton Casino which is where I believe I saw him final last year. Today's appearance is somewhat of a rarity, because like Ben Roberts, he's not someone you see playing on a weekly basis. Must be a busy chap!

Johan Storakers, Swedish player who made a final table in Aruba and won the Amsterdam Master Classics a few years back -- 14,125

Here's Barry, looking very like Walter Matthau...

As told by Roy Brindley...

"Aaaah, do you know who that is? Crazy guy, Leslie McLean, grandfather to Stephen McLean. He's absolutely crackers, plays almost every hand. He's the type of player who can be chip leader one moment, and standing on the rail the next."

Hey guys. First of all thanks for the great work you're doing. It's even more brilliant since cardplayer isn't covering the EPT in Monaco.
Secondly, any chance of a pic of Romanian Cristi (or Cristian) Dragomir? He's def Day 1A.
Cheers and gl to snoopy and anyone else playing
