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

[Chili]

Tony Cascarino going deep yet again in an EPT finds himself short and decides that the time has come to fight back.  He reraised all in a raise from Johnny Lodden, only to find his neighbour Jan Veit push all in too.  Lodden passed and the cards are on their backs.

The queens stand and Cascarino is OUT in 26th place.

After punishing Johnny Lodden's small blind limp, albeit with a smile, with an all-in push, Dave Colclough finds himself all-in once again on the very next hand. Playing from the small blind, Dave checks an Flop only for his Finnish neighbour in the big blind, Reijo Manninen to bet out 6k. Moments later, Dave 's chips are being slid across the line and the crowd are swarming around, excitedly awaiting the conclusion of the hand. With his mouth hovering over the microphone, Thomas Kremser's spiel is triggered as Manninen announces call and shows . Colclough, meanwhile, flips a leading, but ultimately rather vulnerable .

A on the Turn and it was over, Colclough had become EPT bubbleboy yet again and was forced to soak in the mixture of consolatory pats on the back, and secret punches of the air as the dealer reels out the academic River.

Whilst we awaited the bubble to fall, there were a couple of other hands of note that I was unable to report without trundling back to the laptop and potentially missing the final departure.

With Ash Hussain surviving an all-in with Pocket Queens - I think he was still happy to take the blinds - the player the other side, Csaba Malnai, of the dealer couldn't escape an uncontested push as his all-in was semi-hesitantly called for 11k more by Annette Obrestad in the big blind.

"Oooh, two live cards," observed Annette camply.
