Pokerstars.com EPT Dortmund: Day 1a - At a glance
«

Hello and welcome to the EPT in Dortmund from myself and Jen.
This thread will be used purely for our updates form the tournament. Should you wish to request chip counts from us, or even be able to get a picture or two of your preferred combatants, click the link below to make your request on our interactive thread.
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=30844.0
We come fresh from the exciting welcoming party last night, which boasted such attractions as man spinning on head on football whilst juggling enormous baton with feet. There's probably a far more concise and aerodyte way of expressing that. Dude had skills, that's all I'm saying.
Also present as part of the entertainment were "Snake Woman" and "Fire Woman", sounding intriguingly like potential Heroes characters. Sadly, I missed out on these whilst trying to restrain "Chocolate Fountain Jen", less likely to make it into the heroes show, but definitely more focused than those two on trying to launch herself headfirst into the decadent chocolate fountain Pokerstars had provided.
Amongst the players at the party were
Julian
Thew
of course, who was fresh faced and ready to add yet another title to his already bulging sack of trophies. Can anyone stop him? We were also joined by German player
George
Danzer
, who although famous partly for sharing a table with Dimitri Noble (
remember HIM!
) in the 2006 WSOP, has recently picked up a sponsorship deal with pokerstars. Despite success at tournaments all over europe, fame from the part Danzer played in the 2006 WSOP has stayed with him, and I witnessed evidence of this as a drunk Canadian came over to him last night in an amusing exchange..
Drunk Canadian: "Hey man you're that guy who was on on Dmitri Noble's table...what a donk huh!"
GD: [laughing] "Yes, that's me"
DC: "I thought you were awwwwesome man! I'm totally bringing a t shirt down for you to sign tomorrow ok?"
GD: "Ok, sure"
DC: "Cool man! I'm gonna put it straight up on Ebay! Seeya tomorrow dude!"
Bizarre, but very amusing!
The EPT is due to commence at 15:00 over here in Dortmund, which will be 14:00 for you guys following in the UK. Once we get to the casino, we should have a little more information on runners, player lists etc so we will post them up in due course. Join us for what promises to be a quality tournament, packed with talent.
Seeyou there!

Well we've traversed the woods and mountains, journeying far from our hotel on the other side of the
country
town. The Casino Hohensyburg is a very pleasant venue - I remember it from last year - with its modern art and glass stairways and big tourney room. Currently the players down for the first start day are mainly clumping around tall tables with tea and coffee, having picked up their Player IDs which will, hopefully, track their progress through the tournament a la Systeme du Jon Raab.
There's an atmosphere of competent cordiality here, and I have every hope that play will actually start in about half an hour.
Spotted (not playing today): Daniel Negreanu
Spotted (playing today): Rob Hollink
Alex Kravchenko
Steve Jelinek
Maz Nawab
Cristiano Blanco
Sorel Mizzi
Katja Thater
Mats Iremark
Julian Thew
Johan Storakers
Ilari Sahamies
Spotted at party:
Annette Obrestad
Jan Heitmann
Marcel Luske
Woman in underwear wrapped in snake
Julian Thew (so good I named him twice)
Benjamin Gallen
Maybe it's time to take some pictures.

Er, the last 2 tables look a bit odd. I think it's unlikely that table 21 will start 4 handed and table 22 heads up. Expect the vacant spaces to be populated with last minute registrations.
Incidentally there is some confusion happening during registration. Jen is out there investigating (at least that's the line she fed me, for all I know she is in the kitchen rubbing bacon grease into her hair with an expression of ecstacy etched onto her face)
We've been told that play is still 30 minutes or so away from starting....

Icy Katja Thater has had a good start to the first level, just now attracting a horde of journalists as she raised her opponent (probably but not certainly Stefan Hachmeister) to 4,500 from 1,600 with a board reading
... A very long dwell during which many many photos were taken - and who was I to be the odd one out - and then he passed, reluctantly. I think an

Good news for Graham Clarkson fans, too - he related this happy tale of early chips to me as I was passing through the room on the slightly overwhelming First Reconnaissance...
He picked up
, raised it to 200, and found a re-raiser in position. He called the 600 and flopped J-9-4. "I quite liked that." So he bet out a sneaky 700, was raised to 2,600 and said he was happy against a probable overpair: call. The turn brought an
which also brought a possible flush - now it went check-check... he wasn't so delighted with that, but he was delighted to see a blank river and A-8 in his opponent's hand...
Here he is, not letting his delight show, next to an immaculately-coiffed dealer lady.

Dario Minieri is raising a little, a lot (if that makes any sense). Midway through level one, a standard hand would start: Minieri raise to 150. Five callers. Minieri bet out 575... and that's where the differences in hands would start to emerge, as people took exciting advantage of their full range of options (call, raise and fold).
__________________________________________
Elsewhere, Monte Carlo Finalist Steve Jelinek (here pictured in stark profile - intentional, of course) has been "bluffed off a pot, after flopping quad Aces in an unraised pot." He is not talking about the same pot, here.
"I only won 600," he lamented, over the ghosts of all those Aces... his opponent in that hand (probably) piped up there to say, "You are greedy! You want all my money!" He didn't confirm or deny this.

Good grief, what a Player List. Thanks from all of us at home for taking the time to type up that lot, it must have taken an age, especially with those German names in such abundance. Are they real names, or just anagrams?
Regular Updates please on....
Tobias Reinkemeier
Andre Schutzenhofer
Gareth Teatum. (Is that Red-Dog in disguise?)
Peyman Mohammeadzedeh
I thank you.
None of the above have deviated too far from their initial starting stack.
Here is the intriguingly named Peyman Mohammadzadeh. He saw me creeping up with my camera and immediately struck what he deemed to be a "man of steel" pose.
He is currently on 9,000 or so...
Gareth Teatum looks like he may have increased his starting stack marginally.
He was involved in a hand as I watched his table. His diminuative table partner( in physical size only I'm sure) Sebastian Zink, who is becoming a regular at the EPTs now, made a smallish raise from the small blind. Gareth called from the big blind.
The flop came
.
Sebastian checked, and Gareth now bet out 3-400. Sebastian called.
The turn was the
.
Check, check.
The river was the
and again both players checked.
Gareth turned over
for 2nd pair, whilst a releived Zink tabled
to take down the pot.
Here he is raking the pot in off Gareth, with perhaps just s hint of smugness that his underpair to the board was good...
Andre Shutzenhofer, is aiming to take down the best Paul Parker dress-a-like competition. Here is is looking flamboyent, but he'll need to add some more colour to his waistcoats if he is to emulate the GUKPT's snappiest dresser...
Again he is not far from his initial starting stack of 10k here.
I have included the dealer in the shot, so you can marvel at the sartorial elegance of the diligent men and women who are distributing the cards today...
Finally...
Tobias Reinkemeier. If any of his family see this photo, DON'T PANIC! Tobias is fine, perfectly healthy and definitely not in the middle stages of a stroke. (Blame my amateurish photographic skills for any suggestion otherwise!)
He doesn't look to have got toooo invovled yet and although he kept his chips well covered, I would say he was still in the area of 8-10k....

Claudio Rinaldi takes a chunk of chips from Dario Minieri, in a hand which I saw from the turn, when blue (1k chips) started getting waved around...
The board:
. Rinaldi bet out 600, and faced a raise to 2,000. He called.
River:
Now Rinaldi check-called the multicoloured 3,475 bet from Minieri - and his
was good. I saw the
and something else small and flushdrawy in Dario's hand which was shown down and then promptly mucked.

Do they still have all the free food and free booze like last year?
They put sausage in everything.
Yes, there are stacks and stacks of chocolate bars, bottles of juice as far as the eye can see, and plentiful supplies of fresh coffee and tea.
Jen came in a while ago boasting about finding this chocolate bar. She was sooo smug about it.
Naturally this aroused my competitive streak so I sought out and found a clearly superior confectionary product.
I see your Corny Fresh and raise you a Corny BIG!
In your face baconhair!
The internet connection has become somewhat imtermittent so apologies for any delays in coverage.
News is in that the explosive Italian Dario Minieri is out. More details as and when we have them...

Alexander Kuzmin was seen passing to a Carter Gill's check raise on a
board. He dwelt and dwelt for ages before folding, suggesting he had a tough decision, perhaps with an overpair.
"Good fold" Gill told him "I had pocket
."
Maybe he did....but then again...
Jorg Engels, who had become rather short was seen getting his 4k or so stack in preflop versus Peter Peterson.
Holding a mighty pair of Kings, he found himself dominating Peter's 9 s.
Once the dust had settled and a board of Q-J-A-J-T had transpired, Jorg had doubled through to roughly 8k.
"Nice hand" Peterson told him, in the conventional fashion. Jorg's response lacked length, but made up for it in veracity. "Yes it was"
Sebastian Zink, who is now perched at the lofty heights of well, around 13k, was seen betting the turn of An A-K-5-J board, getting Jan-Christophe Von Halle to fold.
Zink is looking very laid back and chilled, as he slowly but surely increases his stack...
