WPT $25,000 Final: Day 3 - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Huge hand on Table Meijberg, yep, that's him in the foreground between the laid back, nonchalant David Baker (also pictured) and Loi Phan (Incredibly Phan, not Pham).

With the board reading and already 200k in the pot, David checks only for Loi to announce all-in. David asks for a count, and Pham, in a rather casual very chatty manner, comes up with the figure 180k.

After a long pause (this is a huge decision), David opts for the fold and sees a decent chunk go sailing over to his opponent.

Johan Storakers has doubled up on the table in front of me.

There was a bit of confusion actually, as when I joined the table, Franklin Caldwell had his hand, A-Qs turned over, so I expect he accidentally revealed them thinking that we were at a showdown or the hand had finished already.

Either way, the Flop was , and Johan announced all-in only for Franklin to respond with, "Well, I guess I gotta call," which he did indeed do.

However, Johan had Jacks which held up.

"You're probably best checking there and seeing a Turn card." commented Guy Laliberte, "He's going to call you whatever."

Also OUT:

Deepak Bhatti
Jim McCrink
Mickey Appleman

Yes, double table break already, the players are really going for it, and you're not going to be hearing that "All in stays in!" from any potential commentary...
The only one I've seen survive so far is Franklin Caldwell who, having just lost two thirds of his stack, moved in with preflop (32.4k his stack).  Johan Storakers went for it with his (the blinds are now 1,500/3,000 ante 400 to put this in perspective).  The board A-5-J-Q-Q

Cliff Josephy is OUT.

Unfortunate set over set encounter with Jaime Ligator, the reptile sounding veteran holding Jack's verus Josephy's Eights on a 8-4-J Flop.

"Amazingly, they didn't get it in until the river," reports table onlooker Bullit Pete. "They played it quite slowly in the end."

Dutchwatch for Vinniebin!

Top:  Steve Wong, looking like someone out of the Matrix

Bottom:  Ronnie Hofman.  I didn't ask him a question, because for some reason everyone at the table was staring at me as I took a photo and I just scurried off.  He only has about 30k so I'd better go do it soon...

James Patton and Jani Sointula have both exited Table 48.

Meanwhile, Philip Matthews has been eliminated from table 54, moving his shortstack in from the button with , but being picked off by Gevork Kasabyan in the big blind (Oh I wish he was in the 'Cut Off') and his accompanying .

Board = Ah

A dejected Matthews rose from his seat pessimistically as soon as the Flop was dealt.

Are you sure that last photos not from the worzels/star-trek confrence?

Hi snoops

Is Bullit Pete still going?

[snoopy1239]

Exchange between Brit Andy Black and the Poker Brat Phil Hellmuth somehow resulted in Phil confessing to being on drugs, but by the look of this photo, I think that claim should go to Andy who looks, well, pumped up shall we say.

And before you say, "Hold on, Andy's not British", I just asked him and he said, "I don't give a shit what you call me, put Hispanic if you want."

Anyway, Hispanic Andy has around 75k.

Arriba!!! Ariba!!!

to the strip club later?...

Vinny Vinh is up on the stage bit, sharing a table with chipped-up Patrik Antonius and chipped-down Jan Sjåvik.  He's pictured here right after taking a pot from neighbour Jason Eakes, betting 25k on a flop.  There was some dwelling and a pass'n'show, which I think, from what Vinny was saying, was an A-K.  Anyway, I find him almost hypnotic to listen to, and even though he doesn't have a Devilfish on there to wind up, he's still going to be talking it up with a peculiar intensity.  I finally pinpointed who he reminded me of - Fenster from the Usual Suspects...

GUDBTY?   Hmmm
