By the way the Frightening Dollybirds Of The Day came into the press room to try to steal our tea (but failed! Because the tea ran out and we only get one round ).

Do you have any information (chip count or action) about Arnaud Mattern's and Tony G's tables

[Djinn]

fuming like petrol.

That's going straight into my repertoire.

It's meant to go in your car.

OK how about a hand? 

None other than Tom McEvoy is involved here - for those that don't recognise him he's the distinguished-looking white haired gentleman on the leftish of this picture, sporting Team Pokerstars gear today.

He re-raised preflop on the button to 1,000 after Nedin Musa had initially shown interest... but when it got back to Musa he upped it to 3,000.  A pretty swift call from McEvoy later and they were looking at a flop of .  Musa bet out 5k and McEvoy passed sharpish.  Then Peter Hedlund - the blurry guy in blue - resumed talking (he'd briefly paused during the hand and to drink some beer) saying, "I should have pushed!  Flopped a set!"  before continuing to drink beer and talk a lot. 



Arnaud Mattern is also on that table in seat 5 (you can just make out an ear and a bit of brown T-shirt) so I've added a pic of him for no particular reason.  Musa is the guy on the left, here though.

OK, don't push it.

I have to say, it's a bit slooooow and a bit not much fuuuuuunnn out there. By which I don't mean everyone's in a terrible mood and there's a bad atmosphere. Everybody seems fairly content. It's just, nobody seems to be talking, or otherwise interacting, or having a good time. Take this hand from Table Rutter, for example.

There's a flop -

Joris Jaspers doesn't do anything for a little while. Nobody speaks. Then he bets 1000.

There's a pause. Not a pregnant pause, more a pause of polite contemplation. Then Cristiano Blanco raises to 2200.

Everyone looks at the felt. Then, after a decent interval, Johannes Korsar calls. Eventually Joris Jaspers passes.

The dealer waits until he's absolutely certain that everyone has acted, and then deals the turn. Both remaining players ponder this for a moment, and then check.

Now the dealer carefully places the river in its proper place next to the turn card. Blanco thinks about it. He checks. Korsar is now not sure what to do. He considers his next move, in silence. Everyone waits patiently. Finally, he decides his move. He bets 2500.

Now the action is on Blanco again. He doesn't know what to do. He looks down at the felt. He licks his lips, and apparently counts to somewhere in the region of 40 or 50 before he acts. He silently passes.

GAHHHHH!




By the way, the Rutter has a dirty stack, like so:



But he assures me that he has 11.5k, and is happy, like so:

French Counts:

Arnaud Mattern - 4,525
Renaud of Dammartin (aka Raynald I)- no show
Paul Testud - 8,600
Nicolas Levi - 27,000 He seems to have taken all of France's luck today and spun it into some nice chip towers (I especially like his hoard of green 25 chips).

Here pictured are the four middle seats on what looks to be a pretty tough table: William Thorson, Nicolas, Mikke Norinder and Paul Testud.

Thank you...

But you can say that Nicolas Levi has taken all the French luck for that tourney... If I'm not wrong no french player survived yesterday...
