if you see, can u check my man andor again?also if any big name player sitting at his table?

Not much change from Andor and no famous names at his table, although he is seated opposite Peter Eicchart (sp?) who has a decent reputation in his homeland of Sweden.

Chris Moneymaker, who I played against in the media comp last night, has taken a hit and is down to around 8k.

I joined the action at the River with the board showing

Chris's fellow countryman and neighbour, Yankieboy (Paulie assures me that isn't an offensive term - I hope he's right) announces, "I'll check into you" only for Chris to respond by betting out 3,400.

Yankieboy mulls it over for a while, soaking up the Moneymaker stare displayed in the picture below, before making a good call with Aces.

Chris huffed and puffing, adding, "If you can call, you win" as he revealed his paltry .

"Didn't work, I should have bet 4.4k," says a disappointed Moneymaker shaking his head in disapproval and self criticism.

France and America cross swords as Michel Abecassis bets 1.2k (pot was 1k) into a board of , Victor Ramdin the man being put to a decision.

After a while, which included leaning back and putting his arms behind his head, the high stakes poker star makes a call. Abecassis folds immediately, and although Victor wanted to muck, he was made to show his hand (Q-Q) by Abecassis (who correctly said "You have to show to win") and the EPT rules.

"But you were the aggressor, right?"

Guess the rules are different over there, the wrath of the grey area strikes!

No problem. What's with the capitals?

Jeff Kimber, being temporarily railed by Richard Herbert, was telling me how he faced a River bet of 6k into a 1k pot.

"They're crazy here," he said bamboozled.

Roland De Wolfe is OUT and in errrr, unpleasant circumstances...


All the chips went in on a flop, and I think both had around 15kish at this point.

Roland:



Unknown Mateyboy (shown here):



Turn:



So in fact Roland's is live as well has his FH outs...

River:



Roland, "You best go on to win this, but I don't think you've got much chance..."

Harry Demetriou, who was cheerfully out of his seat and chatting with John Gale, is on 34,475k after flopping a straight against a set and surviving the Turn and River.

I really do think that if you bet on the river, are called, and then muck your cards that your cards should be pulled out and turned over. The other guy paid to see.

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

Sadly we haven't been given a player/seat list, so have no way of identifying him - if you can get him to text you his seat number, or post a picture, we're much more likely to succeed on this...

Also OUT is Swede Marcel Baran who made the money in Dublin...

He held on a board. Something you'd be prepared to go all the way with... His opponent was holding though...

Im with AndrewT on that. Also y should you have to show your cards to win a hand when there is no-one to beat. if you bet everyone out of the pot do you have to show? i think they are probably just using a misworded rule to gain information of how someone plays. Worst case scenario is you show both players hands, after killing the original raisers, because there is no way he can win the pot, after passing them.
