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

    great reporting

Last minute double up for John Gale -

An early-mid raiser to something like 1,500 found one caller and a button push for 6,575 from the bracelet-winning, easy-going player.  Desperate?  It's not his style, it looks like, to lose the will to survive short just because they've announced Last Five Hands (which they have) - he was probably happy that the early raiser re-raised to isolate him with his , as John had .
The board came:    which was overkill, but he looked happy to have doubled through to around what he started the day with, over 12 hours ago...

any more news on Richard "strummer" Herbert please.

great reports as always thank you

Sorry, they've sent us all packing as they wrap up the day's play.  Usually there's one announcement per hour along the lines of, "Will everyone milling around between the tournament tables please leave the area?"  which we get to ignore and carry on writing our little notes.  This time they meant business.  "And the press," came over the loudspeaker as I continued to stroll around the pleasingly spacious walkways pretty much on my own.

What I'm trying to say is, you'll probably have to wait until they get the final counts to us, which is more like tomorrow than tonight.

Thank you. Great days reporting as per usual.

Got it just before Big Thomas Kremser dragged me kicking and screaming from the floor, my fingernails leaving marks in the expensive floor. He has roughly 47k, nicely above average.

A reminder of what most of Team Dusk Till Dawn looked like this morning, a century ago - in the bright light of day...and a quick Richard Ashby count from the last 15 minutes - 18,000...

Straight from the horse's mouth (I am by no means calling him a horse), Danish player and Warsaw EPT finalist Frederik Holstrup Pedersen has also climbed into the top ten with around 70k.

Roberto Romanello bit the dust right at the death, moving his shortstack in with Jack-rag, but running in to Ace King.

He was, in the words of Jeff 'Jaffacake" Kimber "utterly devestated".
