[snoopy1239]

Someone has already exited, Mats Iremark in fact, his failing to outdraw Eric Koskas's , the board bringing down an emphatic which led to the Swede exiting before the turn of the River.

84 down to 83.

[Djinn]

Flurry of early action - Pascal Perrault moves in on the cutoff with and the short stacked big blind, Yuri Kerzhapkin, calls with . 
Flop: 
Turn:    (and we're probably all thinking it now, I just can't help it any more, unhealthy though it is)...
River:      Double through for straightened Yuri, and everyone's opinion on live poker is confirmed. 

[snoopy1239]

Guillaume Darcourt is OUT.

Raised to 2k with Jacks, Alain Layani re-raised to 8k with Kings, Guillaume pushed for 17k total and Alain, of course, called, although Ramzi pretended he dwelt up as he was retelling the tale.

No help arrived.

---------

Remi Biechel is also OUT.

Down to 7k, Remi pushed all-in with , but was picked off by which caught two emphatic Aces.

[snoopy1239]

Marc Goodwin is OUT, leaving without a parting thought.

Oh, except for the phrase, "The French are f-ing muppets, and you can quote me on that." I don't think I will though... oh, oops. 

Probably not the best of places to make that observation with an exclamation, but although a slight generalistation, it's hard not to sympathise.

Under the gun, Marc made it 2.1k to play with only for his French ami (or en-ami) to raise another 4k. Marc pushed for 23k and Frenchieboy made an incredible call with J-To, leaving himself with just 2k behind.

Of course, the A-Q went bust, to a salt-in-wound-rubbing full house, leaving MrCool with a somewhat bitter taste in his mouth.

Bad news for MrCool, but great news for the nearest bar.

[snoopy1239]

Pascal Perrault and his technicoloured dreamshirt is OUT, crushed by a Tens vs. Fives on a 7-A-2-4-3 board (ouch!) before moving his shortstack in with the next half decent hand, but running into Aces. Not a good day at the office.

[Djinn]

Eric Larcheveque is OUT -

Ge called a cutoff raise from Patrick Schull in the small blind, as did big blind Vivian Anseline.  The flop came:  .  Eric bet out 1,500.  Vivian raised to 4,500.  Patrick had lost interest by now, but Eric called when it got back to him.
Turn:  .  Eric checked - a multicoloured stack measuring about 7,725 went in.  After a little think, he said it, the one-word shove:  "Tapis."  It was another 12k or so to Anseline, and he eventually called, showing , good against Eric's . 

As he left the room, tablemate Brian Johnson said he knew exactly what was going on there as after letting himself be pushed off earlier by Larcheveque he was later made aware that his ex-opponent wasn't exactly the tightest of players and had been after his stack.  Too late!

[snoopy1239]

Peter Gould has doubled through courtesy of Samir Shakhtoor, flopping a cracking Flop with , betting out 4k and having the Swede make an over-the-top for 20k move at the wrong time with just one pair. The Queen stood up leaving Mr Gould with just over 50k.

----------

Unfortunate early fallers also include...

Ray Coburn
Eric Cajelais
Francois Demoly

[snoopy1239]

Double up for Mad Derwich, J-J vs. A-K, Q-Q-4-2-7 board following by a deep exhale.

----------

Another double up, this time Szawomir Rydinsky.

Rydinsky =

Nikolai Losev =

All-in, call.

River =

[snoopy1239]

Jan Boubli, who was one of the chip leaders, has just been taken down by Ram Vaswani, the Hendon Mobber jumping up to 100k as a result.

However, Ram just put the finishing touches on, big A-Q vs. K-K, Q-Q vs. K-K and T-T vs. A-A confrontations being what truly killed Boubli off.

Tough break, but I guess he was behind on each one.

[Djinn]

EVERYBODY gets involved on Table Deeb now...

Jeff Lisandro raised in early position, and found a re-raiser in Ryad Abour - to 4,500 from perhaps 1,800.  Freddy Deeb called on the button, Paul Gourlay called on the big blind, early position limper David Redlin called too and then it got back to Lisandro, who shoved...
The pot had already becomed around 23k, and Lisandro was all-in for 24,700.

Ryad Abour passed with a troubled expression and a medium dwell.
Freddy Deeb passed with calm Stoicism.
Paul Gourlay passed after about 10 minutes' dwell and very reluctantly.
David Redlin passed as if he'd just been waiting to do so all along.

"Now we're playing hold'em!"  Announces Jeffrey Lisandro, winning the Stating the Obvious prize of the day.
"I should have called there, eh Freddy?" asks Gourlay, who'd showed his J-J before throwing them away.  "I think I'm ahead but it's a race at best..."
To which Lisandro:  "Hey, two to one, 50/50 - what the F-?"

So a flop-free double up for the lairy seat 4, he'll be trouble now...

[Djinn]

Break over - blinds now 400/800 ante 75.

They are well and truly mixed around now from the starting tables, but I am going to endeavour to gather chip counts, a couple of tables at a time....

Table Lisandro:

David Redlin     75,000
Alexander Kuzmin  49,500
Jeff Lisandro      50,500
Russell Carson     32,700
Ryad Abour       38,500
Guillaume Darcourt  10,575
Freddy Deeb        60,000
Mad Derwich        21,875
Paul Gourlay         20,550

Table Freakonomics

Christophe Cabras   27,500
Antoine Nouel        24,600
Jeff Wallace           57,000
Tor Gammelgard     58,000
Nikolai Losev          68,000
Yuri Kerzhapkin      36,600
Ramzi Jelassi          18,300
Turgut Guner        24,000

More counts:

Table UK Chip Leader

Xavier Detournel   56,200
Nikolas Liakos       42,000
Walid Bouhabib     21,000
Istuan Pelyhe       37,300
Vikash Dhorasso    35,500
Jason Lester         13,000
Nichlas Saarisilta     47,000
Ram Vaswani         90,000

Table Gould

Nasrodin Pirmamod   8,800
Thomas Belleuvre     17,500
Adrien Gavile           54,000
Gilbert Chahine        53,000
Peter Gould            62,000
Daniel Donnabedian  45,000
Samir Shakhtoor       78,250
Nikolai Evdakov         88,000
Janne Lamsa            32,000

Lamsa only just doubled up to that number, moving in as a third preflop raise over the top of button Gavile (raised to 1,800) and small blind Chahine (raised to 5,800).  He held , which stayed ahead of his caller's .

DC update please,

Thanks

Straight from the horse's mouth (I'm not calling him a horse mind)...

"After one A-K, no A-A, K-K or Q-Q on Day 1, I picked up A-K second hand and picked up the blinds.

Then I called a raise with A-T of diamonds, before checking an A-Q-5 Flop. I then called off 10k on the Turn and River (5k per street) only to be show A-Q.

I struggled on 12-15k for most of Level 2 before picking up A-K and winning a 4k pot. Flop was A-K-T.

Then, I won a 10k battle of the blinds with A-3 versus 5-6 on an A-7-8. Of course, he missed his draw.

At the moment, I have 26k"

[snoopy1239]

Spot of luck for Mads Andersen, somehow surviving an all-in with A-3 vs. A-J, the board bring out a very chop-like K-Q-4-5-4 for a split pot.

-----------

Nasrodin Pirmamod, who, I hear, is a millionaire gambling tutor and part-time sex doctor, has just been eliminated by Adrien Gavile, who smooth called Nasrodin's shortstacked 8.5k all-in from early position.
