Pokerstars.com Baden EPT: Final - Interactive

[danafish]

Haven't heard much lately from Hungarian non-wrestler the Great Kalo, but he now hands a few chips to Vladimir.

Kalo calling Vladimir's raise, the two of them see a flop, which they both check. When Vladimir bets the turn, Kalo quickly gives it up.

Looks like the arena is jam packed today.

The great and bad thing about Baden, wonderfully easy access, not many people around. It deserves better, Stars and the Baden Casino have really looked after this tournament well.

Do you know what the numbers were for Baden, floppy? Is this one where they could consider lessening the buy-in to attract more player and give a few of the smaller players a better chance of playing an EPT? The dodgy location seems to put off a lot of the regulars, which is a shame considering how nice it's meant to be.

282 runners. Dunno about that. Actually getting to Baden is less difficult from Vienna airport than, say, getting to London from Stansted, which is what we have to do tomorrow. Via Dusseldorf. I say yay Baden.

Julian bets 25k on the river, Sverre states Julian is betting a Nine or a rivered 6. Denes calls. "King high" says Mr Yo-yo, Denes shows a Seven for the pot.

Chip Counts:

Julian Thew -- 823,000
Vladmir Poleschuk -- 871,000
Thomas Fuller -- 602,000
Denes Kalo -- 538,000

And with continued involvement in the game, like he's properly woken up now, Denes Kalo finds himself in a hand with Vladimir Poleshchuk again. Not that it does him any good - when Vladimir bets 40k on the river of a board, Kalo folds.

[NoflopsHomer]

Short break for the moment, I've off to see if I can speak to any of the four.

[RobS]

Any talk of a deal yet?

Thomas -- 569k
Denes -- 459k

UPDATE - Floppy is actually hanging out by the press room sandwich buffet.

Not true, I went to go upstairs, ran into Damon D'Cruz who is here for the Stud, and briefly spoke to Thewy about the craziness of the opening few hands. Thewy was really happy for Thomas Fuller to double up with the Sevens as he seems like a good guy.

Julian takes the first pot down from the small blind and then the next one from the button too. With the blinds now 8k/16k with a 2k ante each time, that's an extra 32k.

Vlad raises to 40k and Fuller calls, Vlad bets 50k on the flop and Fuller passes.

Fuller raises to 45k, Denes, Julian and Vlad all pass.

Denes raises to 50k, Julian and Vlad pass. Fuller reaches deep...and makes it 150k total. Denes counts out his chips , and mucks.

Sorry, brief hiatus in my updating while my laptop was hijacked by Sverre Sundbo to play slime volleyball.

Anyway, in the meantime, Vladimir has once again nicked the blinds.

[NoflopsHomer]

Fuller makes it 41k to play from the button. Denes calls in the small blind. And Julian calls from the big.

Flop:



Denes checks, Julian bets 65k which seems like a weak lead of some sorts. Thomas folds, and, after a dwell, Denes passes too.

[danafish]

Fuller raises around 40k utg, and Kalo moves all in. Quick folds from Julian and Vladimir on the blinds, and then Fuller folds too.
