Pokerstars.com EPT Prague: Day 1B - Interactive

[NoflopsHomer]

The second day 1 and with all the Brits we've already mentioned, you can add Chris Moorman, Paul Jackson and Sunny Chattha to the mix, who will all be playing today. Literally, we'll shoot through the nine hours, which go very fast but leave no time for the bloggers to get food. Though to a certain extent I don't mind since, despite the hotel prices being relatively cheap, the food and drink are incredibly expensive) (Mad Harper was speechless when she asked for a bottle of wine which costs £40 here but would cost about £5 back in Spain. This forces us into Prague itself after the end of the day which isn't actually that bad a thing really, Prague at night is a pretty great place and whilst Maria was braving the cash games (she can claim to have played 100/200 now lol), I found a great little pizza place with the guys from Pokerlistings where you could get a freshly made pizza, a beer and a desert, all for about £8 altogether. So in summation, eating and drinking in the Hilton counts as a leak in your poker game.

Play restarts at 12pm (11am UK time)

You ate out of a bin around the back of the Hilton, didn't you?
Admiting it is the first step.

Go Stuart 'The Nutter' Rutter!
All scarf updates greatly appreciated.

"Ginger" Tony Phillips in action as well can't write his own name but can trash talk for England expect a big stack or early nosedive.

[KevIRL]

Hi Guys

Great work on the updates. Enjoyed reading day 1A. Any updates on Nicky Power (and the other Irish guys) today will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Kev.

[LuckyLloyd]

Folks, can you keep an eye on Gavin Kelly please? Wee Irish fella with stubble and glasses. He's due.

[boldie]

40£ for a bottle of wine?..where are you guys going? I was in Prague a few months ago with the mrs and had trouble spending that much on an entire evening's food and drink with her.

[Chili]

Good morning folks, as I rub sleep out of my eyes and begin to focus on hundreds of poker players, myself and Floppy will endevour to answser all your requests along the day.  Strap up and get on for we have begun - on time AGAIN!!  I know from Tikays years of pleas for tournaments to start on time, it seams his wishes are being granted more and more often.

I'm off to see who we have in the mix today.....

lol crazy isn't it.  Was on 20p pints when I was there.  OK, they weren't great pints, but certainly cheap wherever we went.

In the starkiest stark contrast to yesterday, today is literally filled to bursting with players we actually know, hooray!

Chris Moorman, sharing a table with GUKPT Grand Final Winner Mike Ellis and Paul Jackson



Paul Gourlay - The Rocket Man telling me about a guy getting his entire stack in on an 8-8-9-T board with Kings after his preflop raise was called in multiple spots and a player with 8-6 more than happy to go all the way against him.



Age Spets, 'the most smilingest player in poker' here errr...not really smiling.



HeavyScandieweights Andreas Hoivold, William Thorsen and Peter Jepsen.
