Pokerstars.com London EPT: Day 2 - At A Glance

[snoopy1239]

Roberto Romanello is OUT. Again, I raced over but was too late to track the betting order, but I did see the board...

Romanello = K-9

Friberg = Q-Q

Board = 2-J-9-A-Q

... and I'm sure I heard the Welshman mumble that it was all-in on the flop and that he'd raised pre-.

---------------

When you're hot, you're hot, and with the run he's on, Dave Colclough is hotter than the sun. His latest encounter was too hot to handle and could have given Satan a tan with its immense hotness. But before you leave for another site asking yourself what the hell has snoopy been drinking (something hot, actually), check out this hand, El Blondie getting it all-in with on a Flop but running into . However, it's not over till the big boned lady sings, and she was muzzled by the Monty Burns doppelganger when the Turn brought the , followed by a none-miracle-finding River.

[Chili]

Martyn Reeve is stationary at 55,000
Soxy  25,000
Ian Cox  60,000

David Daneshgar is OUT and just moved his chips right to his neighbour (and chip mark liner uper) Ken "no bluff no win" Wong.

For falsley sending Javed Abrahams on his bike, he went and doubled up with AA against JJ.  He now has 64,400

--------------

John Conroy is also out. All-in for 25-30k from the button with A-6, ran into 7-7 in the big blind. No Ace.

--------------

Finally, we've lost Jon Lundberg. Shortstacked and card dead for most of the day, he pushed with A-3, but ran into Queens and received no further help.

[Chili]

Believed to be OUT

Stuart Rutter
Patrik Antonious
Trevor Reardon
Chris Moorman

Roland Dewolfe seams a lot happier though with about 65,000

[Chili]

And how is my friend doing, please ...

Thank you   

Your friend Mr Nash is doing a lot better now I feel.  In a hand with Ian Woodley, Ian has raised UTG before Nash but he reraises, folds back to Woodley who goes all in for his remaining 20k or so and Stuart calls. 

Woodley 
Nash       

Woodley "First card out, bloody Queen, sick of it!"

[Chili]

54 players left
1000 / 2000  ante 200

Apparently we are only playing until 40 players today.

[Chili]

The players have just gone on a 30 min break, so I took my chance to take some actual counts from the chip leaders whilst they were out of the way.  Firstly, the last hand before the break Eric Friberg from Stockholm saw the Swede take out 2 players.

Matey raised UTG, Eric Friberg flat calls.  Onto Tony Phillips who goes all in for about 45K, matey goes all in too for less and Friberg also makes the call.  On their backs

Friberg 
Phillips   
Matey    

So Friberg is left to stack piles of chips - circa 148,000

[Chili]

At the same table as Friberg's are two of the chip leaders.

Pascal Perrault  185,200
Surinder Sunar  195,700

If these clash there could be a monster chip leader on this table and I don't think Friberg sits still for very long either.

There are 51 players left.

If I left that table thinking I was looking at the chip leader in Sunar, I was mistaken when I looked at Anthony Lellouche's stack.  He has pipped Surinder to the post with 200,300.

Nicolas Levi is like a horse walking into a bar at the moment, his upside down smile the result of a faux pas with K-J versus Kajta Svendson's Aces. The hatpimp must have thought he'd spotted a tell of some sort, or perhaps just sensed weakness, but either way he received the wrong signal, Katja's Bullets holding up as Nicolas managed to create a 150k pot before the flop had even arrived.

--------------

One of the top three chip daddies is this chap (or le chap), Frenchman Anthony Lellouche. A high stakes cash game player at his local stomping ground at the Aviation Club in Paris, Lellouche is currently on 196k after eliminating a rather bitter Stig Rasmussen of Denmark. Entering a pre-flop raising war with , Lellouche's initial raise was re-raised by Stig after a bizarrely long dwell that resulted in Nicolas Levi calling the clock. The action returned to Lellouche who then announced all-in.

"This is a tough one," said Stig, "but I call," pushing in what looked to be around 40 odd thousand in chips and showing, to the surprise of the table, .

A bord later and that was all she wrote for Stig, the Danish giant seemingly surprised by Lellouche's play with the Big Slick. "That was a very risky move," he concluded as he departed.

Surinder Sunar fists the air in frustration as he shown by Fredrik Haugen, the Birmingham pro's in need of a threesome. However, a set of Queens could be further from the Poker Gods' minds, the board coming a rather clinical and unnecessarily gasp inducing .

Liam Flood -- 66,500
Fredrik Haugen -- 167,000
Pascal Perrault -- 180,000
Surinder Sunar -- 128,000
Stuart Nash -- 130,000
Carlo Citrone -- 29,200
Ben Grundy -- 120,000
Warren Wooldridge -- out
Vijay Nagarajan -- 52,400
Roland de Wolfe -- 65,000
Chris Moneymaker -- 55,900
Tony Cascarino -- 54,500
Katja Svendsen -- 135,000
Marc Goodwin -- 71,500
Javed Abrahams -- 77,000
Richard Ashby -- 26,300
Martyn Reeve -- 58,500
Anthony Lellouche -- 189,000
Anthony Hardy -- 30,000
Daniel Mangas -- 66,700
Ian Cox -- 58,500
Alan Smurfit -- 156,000
Ken Wong -- 63,100
Fuat Can -- 95,000
Mehmet Cinar -- 65,100

That is it, they have reached 40 and I believe Liam Flood may have been the 41st exit.  Again, same as last night, last hand of the night a gigantic pot erups on table big stack.  It started with Liam Flood raising up to 7,200 with Surinder Sunar smooth calling on the button and Eric Friberg also calling in the big blind.  The flop came

 

Eric checked, Liam Flood went all in for about 60k, which was only called by Surinder and resulted in Eric Friberg going all in for his entire 170,000.  Surinder INSTA calls and the cards are all turned over.

Liam Flood   
Surinder Sunar 
Eric Friberg   

The turn & river are complete blanks and an amazing pot for Surinder to scoop with better set.  Liam Flood was knocked out but Eric was left with a paltry 7,000.

Surinder has finished the night with a chip tastic 403,400..

I caught up with young Ian post final whilst: "Not too many big hands, went down to 40k, back up to 60k, and now 70k. Haven't really come across any good players today, had Negreanu and Liz Lieu yesterday, they're rubbish. In fact, everyone's rubbish," he jokes.

I also grabbed a quick word with Richard Ashby near the end. Like Ian, Chufty never really enjoyed the highs of a big stack, and on just 26k he'll be looking for a late surge tomorrow.

Talking of shortstacks, Marc Goodwin must be the shortest of the shorties with just 9 chips, but luckily it's quality over quality with the majority of those chips being brown 5k ones giving him a total of 51k.

Finally, Swansea's Martyn Reeve has 82,100. After hovering around 50k for most of the day, he dropped down to 35k at one before doubling up and is now on 82,100.
