Ohhhh....Kara 's got the EPT presenting job!?....nice one!

[Djinn]

The redraw was delayed due to Tyler Friedrich moving all in over the top of his neighbour's preflop raise... it was a big stack out in front of him and there was a tortured moment when Friedrich could have been heading to the rail too... but he was rewarded with a pass and a nice extra stack of chips.

They have been repositioned now - I am going back to the non-featured area to scout around, while we think chip counts could be forthcoming any minute.

As the tables and players settle down to restart play, here is a quick picture from our live feed of the lovely Kara Scott interviewing recently elminated Dutch legend, Marcel Luske.

There was just a nice line fluff by John Duthie. He meant to say Sick Tilt and instead said Silk Tit.

[JungleCat03]

Marco Liesy cuts out a raise to 15k from the small blind...

Andreas Gulunay re-raises to a rather large 65k, and after some thought Marco casually waves his hand forward to indicate he is moving ALLIN!

Andreas ....CALLS....the additional 100k or so, which is 99% of his stack!!

Cards on their back...

MARCO:

ANDREAS:

Marco shuffles uncomfortably at this call. He is ahead but it is marginal, and he looks disappointed that Andreas managed to make the call with this hand...


His reservations prove well founded as Andreas moves from behind to miles in front on a
flop. He shakes his head as a heart on the turn seals his fate, dumping him out of the tournament and leaving his lucky opponent Andreas with a 350k + stack

[JungleCat03]

After some preflop shenanigans Mike McDonald and the hells angel lookalike Alexander Milanov get their chips in preflop, Mike McDonald having his opponent comfortably outchipped...


Cards on their backs.

McDonald:
Milanov   :

Split again?

The flop comes , giving both players a backdoor flushdraw chance of winning the pot...

TURN: ...

Suddenly all eyes are turned as Milanov picks up a freeroll to win the pot.

RIVER: !

He does it! Doubling up to 200k, with young canadian Mike McDonald left with a rueful expression on his face as Milanov gleefully sweeps up his newly won chips...

Interesting debate on the annoucements of raises on eptlive.

I agree with John Duthie and Marcel Luske- dealers job is to deal and nothing else (as said in Snoops article in WPT mag)

Interesting to know what Jen thinks as a player, a dealer and a media bod!!!

[JungleCat03]

Andreas Gulunay now raises to 20k, Johannes Strassmann, who has been quiet so far, makes it an additional 49k.

Andreas thinks for a while...

["He's folding" announces John Duthie.]

and calls.....

meaning a large pot is brewing...

The flop comes .

Strassmann fires out a bet of 70k and Andreas thinks a while, trying to interrogate his opponent in German unsuccessfully( as Andreas doesn't speak much German) before flipping over 6-9 a bit strangely before ultimately folding....

Hey guys.  How about a chip count on Christian Harder? Thx.

Christian Harder (pictured top) just doubled up with against what looked like - a ring of press meant that I was jumping up and down on the outskirts for this one  and just saw him taking in the chips at the end of the hand.  There were a couple of minutes of mild discussion about some perceived or actual discrepancy between the amount of the stacks - something about earlier bets not being pulled from both stacks, but everyone seemed happy-ish by the end.  Except for neighbour Torsten Haase, who had folded an A-J preflop but would have won the pot with a double Jack-spike.  "Ace Jack, never loses..." was his dodgy advice for us all.

hey o'donk
