Welcome back for day 2 of the Dortmund EPT.

The last two days have been fascinating. Day 1b in particular introduced two of the superstars of the game into action, Daniel Negreanu and Annette Obrestad. Both built their stacks up effectively, climbing into contention and promising an exhilirating climax to the EPT is in prospect. There are a host of other strong players still remaining for them to battle through first though, including the flying Dutchman, Marcel Luske, who fared well yesterday and former EPT Champion Mats Iremark, who was one of the chip leaders from day one. Although sadly, the popular Hendon Mobster, Ram "Crazy Horse" Vaswani fell late in the day, after a promising start,  there are still some Brits remaining, including talented youngster Dan Carter.

A full player list and chip count will be posted as soon as we receive it.

Play is due to start at 15:00 Dortmund time, which is 14:00 for you guys. Join us as the dramatic race to be EPT Champion continues.

The start of the tournament has seen a lot of play in the style of "X (where X is a medium to big stack) raises, and Y (where Y is a short stack) re-raises all in and X usually passes but occasionally calls."  So not a lot to report other than a couple of exits and double ups.

This guy, Aram Sargsyan, according to my seating plan, hasn't had the best of luck today, first doubling up neighbour Jan Heitmann when he raised on the button with and found Jan with , then doubling up Hugo Marialva Felix who picked up when Sargsyan found .  Sometimes it's just not your day.

There's been lots of action early doors as shorter stacks look to gamble themselves up to a worthy stack. As myself and Jen mingled amongst the players, we heard gusty bellows of celebration emanating from what turned out to be Tommy Dender.

The cause of his celebration was that he had just eliminated the shortest stack at the start of the day Dustin Mele. For most of the players, knocking out such a short stack would not have proved such a special moment but when you consider that Dender himself started as the SECOND shortest stack you can see why he was so happy.



Korosh Mollaie also had an unhappy start to the day.

First off I joined his table as his 2k bet on the river of a K-5-6-J-3 board had been raised to 8k by Thomas Bihl.

After considering for a while he called, Bihl flipping J-8 for 2nd pair, whilst Mollaie mucked his 7-3 (??) bottom pair pretty quickly. Strange hand on the face of it, I can only assume these two German players have some sort of history to have played it out like that...



Korosh was now relatively short and when Thomas Ermer limped for 800 from late position, Korosh made a committing raise from the button, only to find the small blind and Norwegian legend Thor Hansen move in behind him.

Korosh was absolutely LIVID when he flipped his 6-6 over, only to find that Thor had woken up in Valhalla, finding Q-Q. A J-4-5-3 sequence gave him hope but a 5 on the river sealed his fate as Thor hammered him out of the competition. He stormed off in disgust pretty quickly.

A big hand just knocked a stack of blues from Annette's towers and sent them Nicolas Levi-wards...

It looks like the action preflop saw a raise from Nicolas and a call from Annette in the blinds (I could be wrong by one position, in which case it was a early position raise by Annette and a call by Nicolas in late - I know this makes a difference but I only have one set of eyes and lots of other stuff was happening at the time...)

Anyway...

With about 6k in the pot the flop was down .  A slow check from both players.
Turn:    Annette bet out around 10,000...called.
River:    Annette checked, and since no chips moved and the pot was shipped to M. Levi I can only surmise that he announced all-in and was not called.

Elsewhere shortish stacked Vikke Toumaala gets busted holding ... he saw a flop with Chris Rossiter who promptly despatched him when his hit the flop pretty hard.  When Toumaala moved in and was very quickly called, he said, "Set," with that finality that only comes into your voice when you are absolutely sure that your Aces are now a huge dog.

Sick hands have been played and metaphorical blood has been spilled!




First off we had Hugo Marialva Felix raising on the button a committing amount and being forced to call Vincent Cortois' shove from the big blind.

Hugo tabled the rather limp J5, whilst Vincent proudly showed his more grandiose A-Q.

A 3-A-7 flop looked to have swung the wheel of fortune rather decisively in Vincent's favour and a double up looked all but sealed. Hugo was encouraged however by a 4 on the turn, giving him 4 outs to make a backdoor straight on the river. Final confirmation that poker is a sick game happened as the required 6 on the river fell, sending Hugo into spasms of joy, whilst his very unfortunate tablemate Vincent was sent packing to the rail, to bemoan his fate to all who would listen.


Next up we had German Cort Kibler Melby, who had been shoving his sub 10 BB stack regularly, shoving once more after an UTG limp. Tobias Reinkemeier called from middle position and everyone else moved out of the way, including the UTG limper...

Cort showed whilst Reinkemeier flipped over . The race was on!

Viewing the flop, Cort picked up his table tag, and prepared to leave the tournament. HOWEVER, the hand was far from over as a appeared on the turn, giving Cort a full house and leaving Reinkemeier facing the prospect of losing the 17k+ pot. Surely after all the twist and turns of the hand so far, there could be no more drama?

Live poker is like sooooo rigged.

The river fell the !



...meaning Reinkemeier's full house of Jacks full of Aces, defeated Cort's house of Jacks full of Sevens at the last and Cort Kibler Melby was sent crashing to the rail in dramatic fashion. Wowzer!!

Rolf Slotboom seems full of beans today. Dressed in a ski hat pulled tightly over head and his ponytail and sporting a mirrored pair of reflective shades, he looks ready to hit the Alps at any moment.

He'll have to stall on his plans for skiing though, as he still has chips, protected by his ever-present trademark packet of tic tacs. He is keeping up a steady stream of banter at his table, keeping his colleagues entertained/ permanently iriritated depending on whether they like the cut of his gib...

Oh dear! News has reached us in the press room of some bad news concerning Maz Nawab, one of the remaining Brits, who was well placed coming into the day.

He has lost a monster pot, holding a pair of bullets to his opponent's K-K, many of the chips going in on the turn allegedly, and once the cards were turned one of his tablemates commented that he had played the hand "perfectly" to get his opponent to commit all his chips.

One more horrid beat to add to the rapidly growing collection though as a sickening K on the river crippled Maz and sent the 70k+ pot hurtling out of his stack into that of his (as yet) unknown opponent.

Bad luck Maz, very cruel luck...

Sad Has carter gone from 28k > 60k and now back to 28k? Arhghghghgh Sad

Yep that's about it - early on he was playing a few pots against tablemate Thor Hansen... who raised to 2,200 preflop and Dan called in position holding .  Then the big blind just shoved for 27,000(!).  Dan said, "I knew he was steaming..so I called."  He showed three clubs - that was the early rise to 60k.

The knock-back came from a similar situation - Dan raised to 2,500 in the cutoff with and then called the small blind's 20k shove...which he had done with .
Small Blind At-It-Matey spiked a Four though...

Dan illustrated how he felt about this by making the sign of the HappyEater:

Back to the battle around the tables now...

Dan Carter has clawed back to 47,000, but this level was the end of the line for Nicolas Levi who ran into the of Annette Obrestad... bad timing for the on-again-off-again chip leader and another not-quitept title... He joins the ever-growing list of people who have been Annetted out of the tournament one way or another - Arnaud Mattern too fell to her 4-6 yesterday as a shortstack A-3 shover.
____________________________________________

Also hitting the rail was Vincent Gosselink who shoved his 20k in pre with and was eventually called by Manfred Bass.  I say eventually, because it was around a 2 minute fully filmed dwell before he quietly announced, "Call," with his , calmly disposing of his shortstack neighbour.
____________________________________________

Rolf Slotboom, whose stack is sort of hard to estimate due to its strange formation, has been staying out of the way of some big hands - despite insisting that he was being picked on when Stefan Wrenger (sitting on 61k) raised his blind preflop, he was shown Kings as a whinge-reward, and doesn't seem to be suffering the chip fluctuations of say, Dan Carter.

Other counts:

Mats Iremark -- 95,000
Daniel Negreanu -- 31,000
Sevinc Neumann -- 100,000
Claudio Rinaldi -- 105,000
Carter Gill -- 15,000
Nikolas Behling -- 29,000

Ok, here are some things that are happening (poker-related!)



First off we have Dan Carter who looks to be on around 43k or so.

I captured him just as his table neighbour Thor Hansen was caught happily collecting a pot he had recently won.





This is an interesting table with Mats Iremark and Daniel Negreanu sitting next to each other.

At the time of this snap Mats had roughly 65-70k whilst Daniel was a bit behind this with 30-35k.

Here they are sharing a joke...



UPDATE!!

Negreanu is OUT! That's righ, the diminuative Canadian has lost all his chips and bitten the dust...more details shortly...



Steve Jelinek has lost some chips.

I joined this hand on the river where it went check check and a decent sized pot was passed to the Richard Forenbach, Steve showing A-8 for 2nd pair and Richard K-Q for top pair.

Here they are sandwiching Annette (circa 40k) as Richard merrily sweeps up his newly won chips whilst Steve on the left looks somewhat less enthusiastic about the result as he is left fairly short on 15k or so...





Katja Thater has just won a pot to increase her shortish stack.  After facing a bet of 4.5k from German player Marc Dotsch on a board of three clubs, she thought a while before picking up the rest of her 16k or so stack and pushing it all in. Dotsch folded after a short pause...

Here is attractive German bracelet winner Katja Thater scooping up the pot that keeps her alive.



And here's Marc, add your own caption...



nice spot finding the ginger one from that 70s show but if you wanna impress me find me a mila kunis lookalikey (brunnette spoilt B***h from that 70s show)

Best I could do at short notice...

- 70s show...
