This was going to go into NORKAGEWATCH, but actually it's probably better off in STAREWATCH.

Please make special note of the Jaime Ponte chip count, as he said a certain blonde reader was prepared to bribe me with steak if I would keep updating on him.  There he is!  Medium-rare, please.

No I aint about to bribe you Jen but nice to see Jaime aka Festival1 back playing in a big event...........please pass on my good luck wishes and hopefully I dont bok him.........I did pick the orange fruity 1 on day 2 of the GUKPT last week so maybe boks are out lol.

Right well, not you then... but someone somewhere - I think his surname rhymes with 'steak' actually...

BRITWATCH:

While here's Festival1 enjoying this here festival:

And by the by, Noah Boeken has removed his award-winning hoodie to reveal its award-winning lining and a t-shirt which I am right now nominating for Worst T-Shirt Of The Day. "Affliction", indeed:

Hi,

can you post any pics of the high stakes scandis? Lodden, Thorsson, Kjondal, Riise etc?

Thanks

Here is Kris Kjondal, subtly flipping off his next door neighbour player while the other side guy looks on in amusement (only kidding, he seems like a gent).  Down to just 2,650 as we move into level four, but quite capable of multiplying those by the dinner break.  He's a class player, even though it looks like I've photoshopped his hat on as an afterthought.

Eric Larcheveque is OUT.

Annette Obrestad is also OUT to Runar Runarsson. She called a reraise. Flop was K-4-2 with two clubs; he bet, she called. Turn - ; he bet, she called. River was ; he moved in covering her, and mucked when he showed A-K. BA Kildalen saw her hand but won't tell. She didn't have a King.

Johnny Lodden is similarly OUT, as evidenced by him walking towards the exit.

[Djinn]

Fawaz Chawki (pictured top) just re-raised Peter Eichhardt preflop from 600 to 1,500.  After answering the traditional, "How much have you got left?" question, Eichhardt called.
Flop:   Check to Chawki who pushed all in for around 6k, saying, "I'm ready to go."  I don't know about you, but when I hear that kind of thing I assume they are anything but ready to head to the exit...
"Have you tied your shoes?" asks Eichhardt inexplicably, before passing and getting the free show of the monstrous in Chawki's hand.

What was she calling an all in with (if she didn't have a king!!!!), obviously she never had a 4, Ace high ?

LEADERWATCH

I needed look no further than this table right near the entrance to the tournament area - where sits a totally relaxed looking Joseph Serock, young US player and chip leader to the tune of just under 55,000.  Swap his chair for a La-Z-Boy and his clothes for a Hugh Hefner style bathrobe, and this might be the most comfortable looking player in the tournament, with a very nice stack going into the dinner break (in 15 minutes).

Sounds like a pocket pair under KK and she thought he was three-barreling AQ or the flush draw?

One for the followers of Danish/Las Vegan Bloggers (it's a niche I am proud to cover) - Claus Nielsen, often to be found on the radio, all live-like, in the pressroom at these events, but currently playing.  Caught him just in time to see him beat a hasty retreat after making it 650 to go preflop only to find under the gun limper Allan Otte re-raising to 3,150 pre.
