Grand Prix De Paris: Day 1B - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Jonn Hennigan -- 20,125

[Djinn]

During the slow low early part, players with concentration-span limitations or simply to reduce boredom multitask: 
1) Ramzi Jelassi  Paying minimal attention, reading: 'More Sensational Knitted Socks'
2) Patric Mortensson   Also reading: 'Wristwatch Annual 7'

[snoopy1239]

Geordie boy Paul Gourlay is on 23k and yoy-ing more than most, one his most profitable hands being a raising war with Deauville 2005 victor Mats Iremark, both flopping sets on a Q-T-6 rainbow Flop, Paul's Tens dominating Mats' Sixes. Fortunately for the Swede, he managed to escape after the umpteenth raise.

I'm on page 3.

In fact, take a look at Rolf's notepad and subsequently the smallest writing in the world.

There's a year's worth of live updates on that one sheet!

With one minute left of this level, I thought I'd get out of the way before they all head out to the bar etc.  This means that I only had time to count two tables this level, so preoccupied was I with photoshopping Snoopy etc.  Sorry.

Here are two, anyway:

Sry no sign of either, although we must remain patient on the gurnage.

[snoopy1239]

Alexandre Broca is gone, which means that we're down to 67 with blinds of 100/200.

[snoopy1239]

Yuri Kerzhapkin raises to 600, Xavier Detournel makes it 1,500, Yuri re-re-raises to 4,200, Xavier passes.

I thin Yuri had Aces - would you make a move on man called Xavier?...

[snoopy1239]

This is Clement Amagat. I've seen him somewhere before (can't remember where), so I guess this is the Return of the Mac (ahem).

Anyhow he's running well with 26k, although he did just get re-raised off a Flop by Guillaume Darcourt, a chunky 10k re-raise to the 1.5k bet being more than enough.

[snoopy1239]

Guillaume Darcourt has just eliminated Benjamin Scampini, vs. on a Flop.

The heart-unfriendy 4 Turn and 3 River were of no use and Benjamin was understandably gutted.

Interesting hand between Farouk Bensalem and Ray Coburn, the latter betting 1.5k into a 1.5k and a board after 3 players (Bensalem, Couburn and Darcourt) had checked the Flop.

Bensalem called and both players saw a River. Darcourt checked again, Coburn bet 2k and Bensalem swiftly called.

Bensalem =

Coburn =

Close call, but Bensalem just about takes it.
