Martin Wendt, the Scandie Mitchell Brother is going well. In Baden he was the only person to hold a percentage of
Julian Thew, literally 1%. Here, he's accumulated a big enough stack to terrorise the hanger-ons. Just as I took this photo Martin had already raised when the big blind realised he'd been dealt three cards but hadn't looked, unluckily for him, his hand was declared dead and Wendt and took the blinds.
With 10 minutes to go, it's been announced we're playing 5 more hands before ending the night and colouring up the chips. Most of the dealers actually have some 500 and 1k chips in their tray and have occasionally, when many green 25 chips have been in a pot, been colouring up some of them already. A great idea in my view, to speed things up for the end of the night.
Katja Thater just got very lucky, setting a short stack in with
and being instantly called by
. Until she connected pretty hard with the
board that is.
