[snoopy1239]

Hi folks and welcome to Day 2 of this year's Pokerstars.com EPT. I'm totally whacked at the moment so will be hopefully be tucked up in bed sharpish.

Please note the guy in bold above:

Runar   Runarsson

 

His name has caused much hilarity in the press room bless him.  The guy was made to play poker, and indeed had great success early this year coming second in the Grand Prix de Paris winning 224,480 euros.

[snoopy1239]

Howdy Ho, good people of blonde, and welcome to what should be a sizzling day of poker fun and frolics. The big news in the press room - well, for them anyhow - is that blondeite running buddies Paul Gourlay and Ash Hussain are seated next door to each other. Bamboozled by what was a random draw, the two Northerners try to work out the odds on this occurring, and I think they came up with 45 to 1 in the end. I'm not sure how accurate that ratio is though.

In other news, Dave Colclough will be keen to impress this week and prove his worth with any potential sponsors. He's running very well at the moment and is in with a great shout, but he may also consider accruing a secretary to organise his poker activities as we received a text earlier this morning requesting time of kick-off. The temptation to give an incorrect time was overwhelming.

Speaking of the old guard, how the heck did Liam Flood go from shortstack to second in chips at the speed of a fart? Ireland's Mike Lacey didn't seem too surprised, simply adding, "That's Liam". Maybe there's life in the ol dog yet...

Finally, many thanks to Danny McHugh and the rest of the Mayo Mob for donning the blondepoker logo. It's very much appreciated and we hope to see you guys further down the line, perhaps at the Irish Poker Open next year.

[Timex Sr]

Could you please keep us posted on how Mike "Timex" McDonald is doing?
Thanks.

[snoopy1239]

Could you please keep us posted on how Mike "Timex" McDonald is doing?
Thanks.

Sure, no problem. I'll pass on your best wishes too, although I'm not sure he needs it at the moment, he seems to be doing swimmingly.

[Gowardo]

Would be grand if you could keep an eye on

Nicolas Levi
&
Arnaud Mattern

both on failry short stacks (15/17 ish), but I'm confident

Thanks a lot

[Chili]

Thomas Kremser has announced those mortal poker words and we have action (at some point soon I'm sure).  The structure of today is that we shall either play down to the money, which is 24, or to 8 levels whichever comes first.

I whipped out the blonde camera and demanded I get TheReader23's boys all together for a group hug.
