EPT DUBLIN Live Update - DAY ONE

[Djinn]

The very same Malc M just brought news that on another floor far far away Ram Vaswani is sat next to Dave Colclough... should be interesting.

My area involves the Attic, wherein is Xuyen, but I have some instant news from the Ram Vaswani table:

First hand, Ram picked up QQ someone raised preflop (holding, as it turns out, KK), but the flop came Q-high and with around 18,000 Ram has to be the insta-chip leader!

So they've stated then?  lol

OK, here's the set-up. The comp is on 4 or 5 "floors", which Jwn will name shortly. But there's a Basement Dungeon - stone floor, the lot, used to be the Betfair Lounge, they have 4 or 5 tables in there. Ground Floor, "front room", 5 tables in there I think, first floor, 4 tables, next floor 5 tables, attic, 6 tables spread between two "attics".

Jen is on, I think, the 2nd floor, & I am in the Press on th Ground Floor, so no doubt I'll get allocated the top two floors......

We have Malcolm Muskett - Malc-M, & Ariston, to help us, as we just can't manage all these different rooms.

Jen will spend the first hour identifying everyone, & that will pay dividends later in the comp. There are a LOT of Scandies here.

Got some more pics, too.

MalcM updating!! He couldn't manage 1 table at Rob's house!!!

And tell him i said so...

[Trace]

My God, you're all gonna be absolutely cream crakered by the end of the day.

Which shoes is Jen wearing?

Good luck all - I don't envy you one bit with this one.

[tikay]

Oops, sorry, I forgot to announce - they are OFF!

[Trace]

Oops, sorry, I forgot to announce - they are OFF!

PMSL  really? 

[Djinn]

Ah I thought that little fact might have been mentioned... (hi Trace) yes, after that initial excitement it's all gone a bit quiet, as you might expect with the little-blinds-huge-stacks and all.  Yes, there are a lot of Scandies, from the instantly recognisable Sverre (go Sverre!) to a good proportion of the Norsemen, Juha Helppi, Kjersti Grini, and quite apart from them, I have Vik Kanwar sat right behind me, next to Greek Jack.

Please please please tell me when he makes it to 100k

Hiya Jen

Who is keeping an eye on the Ram/DC table?  That I am sure would be VERY interesting to watch.

[tikay]

Apologies if Jen & I get any "cross-over" or report some stuff twice, but we are 4 floors apart. In many ways.

Eoin O'Dea, Donnacha's son, is OUT. He flopped a set, but got rivered by a straight.

[Djinn]

Hi Guys- Malc-M here..
El Blondie makes an UNG raise called by BB.
Flop   
Dave bets--BB calls
Turn 
Dave bets--BB calls
River 6

Dave checks-- BB makes pot size raise.... Dave calls to win the
pot with his
  
BB shows  Ah ..!

[Royal Flush]

how does he check to the BB if he is UTG? Is this supposed to be the other way around?

I can't imagine dave raising 96 UTG

[tikay]

So, we agreed that Ariston would work for blonde today, to help out. 3 minutes after the EPT started, I walked into the cash-game room, & look who was sat there enjoying himself.
