Random Chipcounts -

Sebastian Riviere -- 15k
Michael Martin -- back down to 4k
Marcel Luske -- about 5k - I saw him min-raise from early position, and fold extremely unhappily when the small blind, an Asian gent with a little jade Buddha sitting on his cards, reraised.

Here is Mr Luske, who is now sad.

This is a Spanish player called Daniel Mangas.

Thanks!

[danafish]

Here is Mr Wahlroos shortly after folding that A-J, and Mr Gambler (almost out of shot) gesticulating about it.

Matt, is this your guy? If so, he's on around 8k at the moment.

Cheers mate. Judging by the photo on his license, that's the chap. Pah, he hasn't worn the shirt I specially courried out to him before the event

Marcel Luske is OUT. UTG limped for 300, as did the Cut-Off, the button then made a rather large 3,600. Marcel pushed from the big blind for a total of 4,925, put on his iPod and began singing. As you do. The limpers got out of the way and the button called with his , up against Marcel's Jacks.

Board:



There is precisely one less singing Dutchman in the Casino now, making a grand total of 0 singing Dutchmen.

Also out are Martin Wendt (who Wendt and gone ), Jonas Molander, Juha Helppi and Travis Bickle/Ramzi Jelassi. The final words of the last of these were allegedly, "Are those chips coming to me? Are those chips coming to ME? Well I don't see anyone else in the pot, are those chips coming to me?......Oh you have the best hand, I guess not."

uh-oh...

Floppy the grass  What a snitch!

Surinder Sunar has just used one of these cards.



He pushed all-in over the top of a 1k button raise for around 4k total, his opponent dwelled and Surinder called the clock before his opponent made the call for half his stack with . A good call considering Surinder was only able to show .

Board:





Surinder still on around 4.5k, here pictured sitting between Morten Erlandsen (aka Pokergirl) and Cristiano Blanco (EPT Dortmund runner-up).



Meanwhile, in the category "EPT Champions who are close to the Chip Lead", you could fit EPT Barcelona winner, Sander Lyloff who has around 45k.

What are the chances of getting a photo of what is surely one of the biggest names to ever enter an EPT...

Eva Marianne Ulrika Skoennemark?

Mr Gambler Jacket Man avoided some kind of disaster maybe with his against pocket Queens when both players rivered their straight on a board, with a whole pile of betting all the way down. He now seems to be quite a big stack. Staying on Table Gamblor, Mr Thomas Wahlroos also seems to be a big stack, on around 40k.

Other rough chip counts (the smaller the stack, the greater the accuracy) include

Patrik Antonius -- 35k+
Barry Greenstein -- 40k
Sebastian Riviere -- 35k
Aurangzeb Sheikh -- 4k
Dave Colclough -- 16k, ipod firmly ON
Matt Tyler -- 11k and making faces. He is now sharing a table with Patrik Antonius, but has promised to buy me a drink when play finishes for the day, so a completely unbiased Yay Matt! Ahem.

Is she the blonde lady? Or is she Cat Lady on her day off? Either way she sounds awesome. We'll do our best...

[danafish]

Contrary to what was previously reported, there remains exactly one singing Dutchman in the building. Marcel Luske is enjoying the massive cash game action that has taken over the greater part of the Festsaal since they started breaking tables. Also spotted trying to make their buy-in back are Jeff Lisandro, Jan Sointula, my friend Rosie Man, and about 200 others.

Couldn't see Attractive American Michael Martin on my rounds, so let's assume for the moment that he's OUT.

By the way I'm not allowing any part of that in Scrabble. Just so's we're clear on that.

Dana --

Right you are.  Not only did his Queens run into aces but they ran into two sets of aces in the same hand....QQ vs AA vs AA.  But, he's still attractive.
