Pokerstars.com EPT Barcelona: Day 1B - Interactive

[Djinn]

Finally, Dusk Til Dawn's Kevin O'Connell and Dave Colclough, spotted having a pregame chat.  Realising the camera was on them, this was the result.  Catch them mooning out of the back of a bus later this year in Dortmund...

Hamster-sized Daniel Negreanu



Vole-sized Adam Junglen, recently Stars Million winner, TLB winner and maker of a sick call against Patrick Antonius at the Monte Carlo EPT earlier in the year with Ace high on a Q-4-2 that had been 3-bet preflop. He was correct.



Orient Express-sized Johnny Chan. Sans Orange.



Errr..Martin Wendt-sized Martin Wendt. Sans Earphones.

[NoflopsHomer]

Geordi La Forge Slotboom and I think, Jeff Garza?



Paul Gourlay. He's a Rocket Man. Yes a Rocket Man.



Marcel Luske. Errr, nothing really funny about this one. Bah.



Jon Kalmar had regretted saying, "If I make the WSOP Main Event final, then I'll superglue my hand to my head."

[NoflopsHomer]

Incidentally, sitting down in his seat, between Ian Woodley and Adam Junglen, is one Patrick Antonius.

Expect fireworks...

It's not like action isn't happening, but it always seems to be five tables over and two across from where I am watching one of our English players calmly folding...

But there have been eliminations, like the into right near the start, or the first level super-optimistic all-in preflop against (Spiking a Jack and giving the other guy a bad beat story)...

And there's always Marc Goodwin (pictured, along with tablemates Patrick Bueno and Liz Lieu).  He just bet 250 on a threeway flop of , called by Patrick Bueno who had checked before him, and one guy in position on them both.  The turn brought a , checked to In Position Matey, who bet 500, getting rid of Marc but getting a call from the Frenchman.  The river was checked, and Patrick Bueno's was shown the winning hand.

[NoflopsHomer]

Daniel Negreanu raises to 250 in early postion, Jan Sjavik calls from the hijack, the cut-off and the small blind also call.

Flop:



Daniel bets 800, Jan calls, the other two players pass.

Turn:



Daniel now bets 2,200. Jan moves all-in and Daniel insta-passes. Welcome to the EPT.



In a multi-way limped pot, it's checked to Greg Raymer who bets 1k on the board of . One player calls.

Turn:



The caller now bets 1.5k which Raymer quickly calls.

River:



Now the caller checks, Raymer thinks for a second before declaring, "I'm not sure I should bet this." He flips , and his opponent shows . Raymer now has just 3k or so. Which is twice as much as Dario Minieri, languishing on just 1.5k

Pretty sure Dag Mikklesen was knocked out yesterday

Jen on the case now, he's sharing a table with Kevin O'Connell and Ben Grundy.

Meanwhile Johnny Chan is amongst the chip leaders. Here's how it happens.

One player limps, Chan makes it 325. A short-stack moves all-in for 850. Now the limper re-raises to 2.3k. Chan calls.

Flop:



The limper bets 3.6k, Chan calls.

Turn:



The limper now bets 6.6k and Chan moves in for 12k more. Limper insta-passes. and Chan's A-K holds against the all-in player's A-6. The limper claimed he had 7-7, and a 7 came on the river too...

Nope he had a press pass, a camera and was working! The mind boggles.
