Ive tried four times to reply with quote now, but cant get the reply in the forum. But heres the rio web.

Hi Jaffa:-)

I only have this site - http://riopokerfestblog.blogspot.com/, but its all in portoguese... My friends are allready down there(Fortaleza), and I think its also a much bigger "private" tournament. At least it was mentioned.

They also say the cash games are very good.

Henning

PS: good luck to Maria and Marius on the final table. By the way, even in Norway Marius is considered a craaaazy player:-)

Early play has been cagey, with basically everyone stealing the blinds in turn. More updates soon as anything happens.

By the way if you'd like bios/more photos of our finalists, please click on their underlined names for their blondepedia entries (I think for some reason Ketul may be listed as Ketu Nathwani). Only one who doesn't at least have a page on blondepedia is Fran Egan - can anyone tell us anything about him (except that he really wants a f***ing pint)?

The forum has been real slow this weekend, any reason why?
Or is it just me?

Closest Thing To Action To Happen So Far:

Colin Kennedy makes it 75k and everyone folds except for Steve Jelinek, who goes all in. Kennedy dwells for a while, but passes.


UPDATER UPDATE - In the Bad Beat Of The Day, Snoopy has only just noticed a PM that Floppy apparently sent him yesterday saying he could have the day off today, but he only just got it and he's here now, full of we-didn't-get-enough-sleep sadness. UL, Beagle.

Mine has been very slow also (didnt like to mention it before, probably my fault again)

No, it's been really slow all-round, most annoying. In my mind it's because of all the traffic we're getting on our awesome updates.

Well done Snoops, working a day out of the kindness of your heart for our benefit  No mobile phones in the UK these days ? !!!!!!

Tony Phillips raises to 60k from mid position, David Rudling re-raises to 180k from the button, Tony pushes and David instapasses, those Rudling fingers clearly caught in the poker til.

[danafish]

Junglecat just called me to say that nothing had happened, but that chip leader Ketul was predictably being the most raisey player on the table, also re-raising David Rudling, who is probably the next most aggressive player.

Then he called me back 2 minutes later to say that something had actually happened! Fran Egan raised from the button, leaving himself around 80k behind. Tony Phillips flat-called from the small blind.

Flop - and Tony moves all in. After a medium-sized dwell, Fran calls.

Fran - A-Q
Tony - 6-6

Turn -
River -

Double-up for the thirsty Irishman!

fran is from Drogheda in Ireland, qualified online on Green Joker poker.
he recently was involved in a chop in the main event in the deepstack champs in his home town, where he took home 28k

best of luck to him today.

[snoopy1239]

To add a bit of razzmatazz to the event, all the players were asked to enter the fray individually as they were announced on the microphone. I did urge Jonathan Raab to go the Bullseye route by saying "iiiiiiiiiiiiin one" and so on, but he didn't oblige. He did roll out a quick number of Dancing Queen though for his many fans.

I tell you what, that Colin Kennedy might be the oldest player here, but when they announced his name he was up there like a whippet. I barely had time to take his photo before he launched himself into the felt like a greyhound on speed.
