Pokerstars.com Baden EPT: Day 3 - Interactive

[danafish]

I can see shuffling, although no actual dealing as yet. We have a giant screen in the press room here with a very pale slanty view of the feature table, currently Table 4 on our seating plan (Table Thewy, Sunar et al). Floppy's wandered up there to get some photos. There is now a big close-up of Alan Smurfit gesticulating.

Incidentally at this point I should add how grateful we are that today the action has moved from the second floor to the first. Our lovely press room is of course situated on the ground floor, and courtesy of Mike Lacey, who really cares about these things, we know that every time we went up to the second floor over the past two days, we climbed no less than 77 stairs. I feel that I have really worked off the first day's giant buffet...

Regular updates on Manfred Hammer please.

Keep your shirt on! We know, we know, Table 1, Seat 6, Floppy's under strict orders...

[danafish]

Shuffling, and dealing too!

Play has now started.

Where are the Manfred Hammer updates?

[snoopy1239]

Is it Hammer time yet?

[snoopy1239]

I reckon his middle name is Cliff... or Clive perhaps. No, no... let's go for Clint.

[snoopy1239]

For those that are interested, MC Hammer's real name was Stanley. I can see why he changed it.

Hello! I have made it to the casino and I am full of coffee. Nothing is happening just yet, but I have every confidence that this incredibly well-run tournament will once again start on time.

If you have anyone you'd like a-following, aside from the already-mentioned Matt Tyler and Julian Thew, let us know. Incidentally I just had an accidental kasetoast breakfast with Matt and Julian after we found ourselves in the same cafe, and both of them seem pretty cheerful. Matt managed to spend about an hour and a half getting back to his hotel last night, after attempting to take a short cut through the park and walking round in a big circle for ages instead. Yay Matt! Anyway, he made it back eventually, and I think he actually got some sleep too before hitting the Indian down the road for his daily Breakfast Curry. Good luck all...

Regular updates on Manfred Hammer please.

First hand, Hedvad Khan pushes with K-8 from the cut-off, and BANG! It's Hammertime as Manfred calls with Aces, Khaaaaaaaaaaaaan! gone in 40th place. Here is your man, snoops.

Are you sure? He's kinda changed.



but yay for the hammer doubling up!!!

[NoflopsHomer]

Also, first hand on the feature table, Alan Smurfit takes out Carlo Di Renzo with Aces against , Pascal Perrault Nines were forced out, and he was none too pleased by the board.



38 left with about 5 minutes remaining of the 1k/2k level before we go to 1.5k/3k.

Perhaps if he wins the tournament he can buy some new parachute pants.

Here, meanwhile is the tournament area, everything has been moved to the first floor, reducing our stairs climbing exploits by 50%.

Loving your work guys, have a great day today and a belated

 

to Tyler & Thewy!!

[snoopy1239]

Forget about that, the world wants to know Manfred Hammer's middle name.

If Uri Gellar was here he'd have all your viewers touching the screen chanting out the letter 'C'.
