Pokerstars.com EPT Dortmund: Day 2 - Interactive

[JungleCat03]

We had a quick chat with Steve Jelinek during the dinner break. In his own words he's in "push or fold territory" now as he aims to garner a stack where he can play a little more poker.

"It must've been hard having annette stuck just to your left all day..." I commented but Steve said he was actually quite enjoying having her there as it gave him a chance to double up his stack as she is obviously not the type of player to just sit there with her chips locked up...


Tut, tut though Jelifish, he was somewhat less impressed when we told him about this!

Hello! Could you show me some hot bavarian boys please? I dont mind hair colour

Nonetheless, after a barrage of PMs, I feel obliged to try my best to appease you girls out there.

So here we have the immensely tall Benjamin Kang, who has taken the eye of a lady or two...




Successful young player Ramzi Jellasi has attracted the interest of a few ladies( no names). His preferred pulling technique involves the use of semafore.




Noah Boeken has been railed by pretty girls since the start of the tournament...

(best picture I have at present!)




and the clean-cut and affable George Danzer.




I hope this is up to scratch. As Jen flat out refused to help me find some male-norkage, if there even is such a thing, please send all complaints to her. Thank you!

GUMMI UPDATE!

Clearly the guys working within Gummi intelligence have realised that they are at a mass disadvantage faced with the onslaught of the press as they do not have the same ability to control the media. Plans have clearly been afoot to change this...

I returned from the dinner break to find a crack unit of gummi commandos had comandeered my computer to send out their own propaganda. Although I dispersed the troops in a few mouthfuls, I fear the damage has already been done!

How many are they playing upto today??

Great work guys

[Jelifish]

I cant believe you told him! It was just a private request that you ignored.

[Jelifish]

Oh! I take that back. Thank you

I'm just going to hazard my best guess and say they will play to 36 - the money.  Sometimes they finish a certain number of levels, sometimes not - but with a whole day left to get to the final table it would be unlikely for them to keep going once down to the last few tables.

Jan Heitmann is up over 150k after this hand with a player whom I believe to be Tyler Friederich... Jan raised preflop to 5k, and probably-Friedrich, another very large stack, re-raised to 16,000.  A brief pause.  Then Jan re-re-raised a further 36,000, and was rewarded with a pretty swift fold.  He rubbed salt in by showing the ... but then later admitted that that guy wasn't the one to be messing around with - a tidy player with a dangerous stack.  "I don't want him messing with me, either," he added, however.

Katja Thater.... Markus Golser.... Pascal Perrault...

These players are all

Seeing Double News Now...

Marcel Cesarz on the button re-raised an utg raiser from 5.5k to 25k, and had barely finished stacking those chips when the very next hand Anders Henriksson raised utg to 6.5k.  In came Cesarz on the cutoff now re-raising to 24k and picking up another uncontested stack of blue chips.  Young people these days, no respect for early position...
______________________________________

Manfred Bass took a 50k pot from Marcel Luske a little while ago, betting out 20k on the river with the board standing , which was enough to take it at that point.  Marcel is still chipped up, though, along with Diego Perez Marco, who's up around 190,000.

Other counts:
Steve Jelinek -- 62,000
Dan Carter -- 74,000

Threaten to make a rug out of them!

I have to say; Well done on the Gummy bears stuff...inspired UPdates are good too but I'd rather hear about the gummy bears

[flashbadger]

Cheers for the updates guys.  Feel free to let me know if anything really exciting happens at the casino and I will jump in a cab as I am pretty bored sitting in a hotel in dortmund.

PS - I cant beleive those pesky bears have regrouped - I took 2 big hits on them yesterday when I had sneaked into the press room to speak to the siktilt.com boys.  Pesky bears.

Things have become tense now as the end of the day draws closer.


Jen pled with me to snap Brandon Schafer as "he's really short and may go out soon!" He's still hanging on though, albeit to a microstack, his backward facing baseball cap mirroring the defiance in his soul...




Tikay's close personal friend, Peyman Mohammadzade (I can now type that without checking - I swear) is doing fantastically well, holding 130k or so which will put him up with the chip leaders...




Whilst Daniel Negreanu and Annette Obrestad have fallen, another legend of poker in Marcel Luske is prospering, Marcel sitting on a big stack that looks the right side of 100k.

Here he is sharing a quick joke with well groomed tournament director, Thomas Kremser...




One for Jelifish, here is Mr Jelinek, still flying the flag for the UK. He is short-ish, but not yet done with a not-that-comfortable-but-more-comfortable-than-before stack of 50k+...

Well done Steve!



Apologies that he is slightly out of focus but my camera insisted that the fringe of the man between me and Steve was the most important element, and at the moment I tend to lose most of my arguments with the camera...

[boldie]

BTW..before I forget to ask.

These updates are of course the best on the net and I have spent many hours reading them BUT..I am concerned about my Blonde Bill....How much does it cost me to read these things?
