EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Day 2 - Interactive

[NoflopsHomer]

Nik Persaud can literally walk on water...

Click to see full-size image.

Well he can't, but he might as well try because he'd probably succeed...

He pushed for 22k (blinds are 800/1600/200) after there was a standard raise in early position to 4.8k. Ulrika Stonnemark pushed for 27k sitting right next to him. And next to her, Shane 'Shaniac' Schleger called.

Shaniac takes a hit, Ulrika is OUT and Nik is on around 75k now.

Nik, "The hand played itself."

Top updating from the team that I dubbed "The Great Triumvirate" 

But about the norkage......

[snoopy1239]

Soren Bakfort has trebled up with A-K vs. Q-Q vs. 6-6, the latter belonging to the biggest stack, Hans Ritberg.

[isaacs]

Andys our chipleader? uh oh say no to the voices Andy

[ariston]

wonder if harry could do this so he can finally win his bet with mr dkniffe and be allowed to wear normal clothing again

[Djinn]

Yes it does look like Andy's topping the leaderboard...

A couple of big hands have shifted some of the stacks in the last half hour; at the risk of repetition (sometimes we just pass each other on the way in and out of the press room) here are my chipcounts too - taking into account some of them, and with a few additions:

Chris Smith        15,400
Richard Herbert   50,000
Ali Masterman      19,000
Rick Wild             70,500
Michael Martin     91,500
Thomas Wahlroos  80,000  (overheard him complaining about someone making a bad call with A-K and clearly having won)
Devilfish               61,000
Mark Teltscher     60,000
Andy Black          275,000
Greg Raymer        78,000
Johan Storakers    34,800
Gunnar Osterbrod  66,000
Joe Beevers          48,000
Arnaud Mattern     44,500
Theo Jorgensen     36,000
Viktor Ramdin        20,000
Nik Persaud           61,000  (suddenly wearing a Pokerstars shirt, as they must've noticed he's blessed)
Richard Ashby        28,000
Steve Jelinek         83,000
Ram Vaswani        155,000
Mickey Wernick       64,000
George Danzer        40,000  ("What I started with; best hand in six hours A-9,"  looking dejected)
Alexander Stevic     37,700
Ross Boatman         58,000
Dave Clayton          60,000
Dean Sanders        155,000
Jim Kerrigan            41,400
Odd Lavik               25,000
Bad Girl                 50,000  (doubled up an all-inner holding Aces with her Nines, on a Ten-high rag flop)

Kristof De Smedt, commonly known as Deluxy on PokerStars, has just eliminated a young American player.

Raising from the button to 13k, yankieboy was re-raised all-in by Smedt from the big blind. Shortstacked (although he had just about enough to fold), the American made a reluctant call before flinging his Nines onto the table as Smedt revealed his Pocket Ladies.

Useless K-6-4-4-8 board and we'd lost another.

Doesn't take a genius to work out which is De Smedt.

Carlos Mortensen is still stack up to the high heavens, and isn't it a beautifully structured piece of craftsmanship.

I had to restrain myself from giving it a whack.

For some reason, my spider senses are tingling me and informing me that (1) this is an American player and (2) he is big shark online.

Either way, he's currently struggling with just 26k.

Can anyone name him, or at least prove or disprove my spiderlike superpowers?

[Djinn]

I think someone asked for Julian Gardner - I saw him walking out of the tourney room, headphones in hand, which leads me to believe he's now exited...

The field is thinning  pretty rapidly, to be honest - not sure whether they'll be going for the full on Seven Level day or not today.  It was published on the EPT website that they'd be playing five levels today, but we never really know until towards the end of the published last level whether or not it remains so.
