Hello all!!!!!

Hello Jen and Snoops

Please say hello to Mr, YOYO, remind him about last year and how he managed my shortstack for me, I think it was one of the best comps I have ever played thanks to Julian.

Can u please find Richard Shtrax, He is a friend od mine from here in Florida, he won his seat w/ FPP points on Stars, he was there last year, this guy wins more seats to big comps, he won 5 seats to last years WSOP main event.

Please tell Rick hello if u find him, and this guy has a lot of talent for an unknown player

Thanks Guys (girls) , wish I was there to buy u a beer but I told Rick to do that for me!

any luck finding Rick???

Chip Counts - Just a few, I gave up on the Comprehensive Count after 20 minutes.  Of course the see/write/walk lag might mean they are no longer 100% accurate, but they were then.

Paul Gourlay     10,950
Jimmy Fricke     21,750
Pete Linton      16,600
JP Kelly             9,475
Dave Colclough  19,400
Dean Sanders     8,550  ("It's been emotional.  Lost two large pots running QQ into AA).
Julian Thew      14,375
Martin Wendt     9,000  (He's a Dirty Stacker, at the moment, though, so can't be sure)
John Shipley      20,000
Stuart Fox        15,950
Jani Sointula      25,500

Ben Grundy        12,675
Viktor Ramdin     14,800
Bernard Litman   20,200
Santi                 11,500  (He only gets one name because I couldn't read his surname off his shirt and I've forgotten it)
Thomas Wahlrros  15,000  (A little bored by the hovering; "I've seen AQ, and flopped one pair so far this tournament.")
Andreas Hagen     21,750
Markus Golser       13,500
Rob Hollink           11,075
Greg Raymer        15,400

Annette_15          9,300

Plus extra photos of those I missed out/ wrote their count down so illegibly even I didn't want to guess back at my computer.

Just went on a stroll with my American friend (and best man) Paulie, who pointed out a few faces he recognised, the first of which was ironically not American, but Japanese. This chap is Musaki Kagawa, a Japanese Industrialist and a huge cash game player. I just saw him take down a pot with a 1.5k bet on a 7d-7h-2s Flop. Also seated on that table is blondeite Tim 'T8mml' Blake.

any luck finding Rick???

We don't have a player/seat list!  I don't recognise the name, a picture might get results...or if you could ask him where he's sitting?  Sorry, it's just that if I start shouting people's names until someone puts their hand up I think my press pass might be revoked fairly sharpish...

[snoopy1239]

Another chap Paulie pointed out was Carl Olsen, who apparently came runner-up in a Deauville EPT, although that was before my blonde time, so I'll have to take his word for that one. Currently on 13,950.

[DTD-Nick.W]

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?

Well I just signed off his Grass Roots budget so yes i'm aware of this.
Unfortunatly i'm off to Monte tomorrow so i have to much to sort out before the trip.
I'm sure Simon will give you a bit of advice.

Mad Harper, in her infinite kindness, has just this minute bestowed on us the precious Day 1A seat draw.  SO if your guys haven't been moved since the start, we'll be able to check on them after this current Break...

[snoopy1239]

From what I hear, this chap, Pete' The Beat' Giordinio (17,875) is a well known player on the circuit - quite a chirpy fellow too, so he should be good entertainment.

"Why's he called 'The Beat'" I asked.

"It's a long story," claimed Paulie.

Anyone care to elaborate?...

Greice Yamaguchi -- 8,250

HOORAY!

[NoflopsHomer]

JP -- 4k "They keep trying to bluff their chips off to me and then hitting the river."

Ben Grundy -- 11k "I've had Aces twice, Kings twice, flopped three sets, flopped the nuts three times and I've still got less than my starting stack." This included him leading out with a set of Threes on a T-7-3 board getting raised, he 3-bet it and the other guy (inexplicably) moved all-in.

[ACE2M]

on the issue of showing cards, last year not once was i asked to show my cards or did i see anyone ask to see others when they had every right to. I liked it when i got caught with my pants down and felt it rude to ask someone else when they had let me go with it.

Overall i liked it, although i would have loved to see some players mucked cards.
