Great updates guys, thank you very much.

Well Played Dan, and good luck in your future EPT's.

Strassmann finalled in Prague, and Mike McDonald made the final two tables there also.

[Djinn]

Strassmann calls a Mike McDonald raise in the blind, and bets out 50k on a flop of - called by McDonald.
Turn: check-check
River:   Now check to McDonald who bets 85,000...

"Do you want me to call?"  Only a slothlike blink from Timex in response.  Johannes Strassmann chews gum with furious intensity for about 30 seconds before mucking his cards.

[JungleCat03]

Here are the chip counts of the last 9 players vying to be the Dortmund EPT champion.

Michael McDonald 752,000
Diego Perez Marco 834,000
Thibaut Durand 157,000
Johannes Strassmann 716,000
Christian Harder 358,000
Andreas Gulunay 455,000
Torsten Haase 383,000
Claudio Rinaldi 280,000
Alexander Milanov 90,000

[JungleCat03]

Alexander Milanov moves allin and Strausmann isolates with a big reraise that leaves him heads up with the shortstacked Milanov.

Johannes shows J-J and Milanov the dominated 4-4.

This could be it folks...the crowds are fixated with the nerve jangling devlopments...



The flop comes ....

.... ..... .... ..... ...!

No shocks, no suprises. Strausmann continues to chew the gum he has been masticating (you heard) all day as he shakes 9th place finisher Milanov's hand.

Alexander Milanov is OUT, eliminated in 9th position, winning €52,200 for his troubles and immediately moves off to find the nearest Harley Davison bike salesman to spend his winnings. Probably.


Anyway, this final piece of drama means play has now terminated for the day, with our final 8 players determined.

It has been a frenetic day full of action, and tomorrow's final promises yet more excitement.

[Djinn]

So here are the stats being displayed on our screen for the final lineup -

Michael McDonald -- 862,000
Johannes Strassmann -- 827,000
Diego Perez Marco -- 744,000
Andreas Gulunay -- 460,000
Torsten Haase -- 369,000
Christian Harder -- 339,000
Claudio Rinaldi -- 276,000
Thibaut Durand -- 148,000

Awesome, go Timex and Charder. I really wish I could be there to sweat them.

Today was unreal. I started with 202K! and only played 8 total hands, started in the Big Blind and busted UTG before even completing a full orbit.

Jen, I saw yesterday that you asked someone to take a picture of me because I might be out soon. And then I went on a huge rush and quadruped my stack at the end of the day. Today, you tip me for a deep run and I bust in 8 hands. Moral: more pessimism toward me please. =)

See you guys in San Remo. Goooooooo Tomex/Charder.

That's it folks!

Thanks for joining us for today's developments. The last eight players will reconvene at the same time, same place tomorrow (that's 15:00 from the Hohensyburg Casino, Dortmund) as they compete to see who will finally take down the mouth-watering first prize of €933,000 and win the much coveted accolade of the Dortmund EPT title.


One last report from the front lines of the Gummi / press war. A temporary truce was called today as both gummi s and press were absorbed by the electric pace the poker moved at.

The ceasefire came to a swift end in dramatic fashion though. One solitary act of violent defiance brought the fragile truce between gummi bears and press crashing down and re-ignited the war.

We've had Hitler.... Poll pot..... Stalin.... Mussolini...a new name has been added to this list of evil, bloodthirsty leaders.



Behold Jen the Gummi gobbler!


That's it for now. Seeyou back here tomorrow.

Yes well, an accurate predicter of the unpredictable I might not be, but I can tell you what I am - knackered.

The pace today was crazy, but the finalists now get a night off to rest or go and play in their hotel lobby like sickos, whatever seems most appropriate.

I am flying back to the UK tomorrow, but you'll be in the capable paws of the Junglecat, and if they drop you there's always the live feed.

Good luck everyone I saw play well over the last three days (which includes most of the final table)...

What?  Did they throw you out because of your raid on the Gummi Bears?
