But First - Leaderwatch

Trond Erik Eidsvig -- 22,000

Did you find Adam "fishbones11" Fyshe in the room yet?

I think he's been located seatwise - will post a photo of the guy in that seat in a few mins and you can tell us if we're on the money or totally wrong, if you'd be so kind...

And here's said photo - is this Mr. Fyshe?  We like his name and are supporting him through this tournament.  At the moment, his stack measures at around 12,300, which isn't bad going considering he is on the Minieri/Carter table...

Go Trond!

I know it's early, but there are only two contenders really so let's have Hoody of the Day:

Runner-up:  Matey's marvellous money



Winner:  Player who may or may not be Alp Okumus, whose Sunset Strip wins hands down.  He also just won a nice pot holding on a board, paid off somehow 1,100 on the river...

That is Fishbones11 - Mr. Adam Fyshe

Julian, who wins more races than Michael Johnson, has doubled up again. This time with against on a board. Up to 6,700 now.

Craig 'The Apple/Water' Hopkins -- 9,000
Pab (on the same table) -- 8,500

Woody Deck raises it up from early position and a short-stack shoves from the button, saying, "I know I'm getting called."

Woody calls.

Shorty shows:

Woody shows...erm:

Board:



A anti-climatic river after so much flop fun.

Meanwhile on the next table, the Science Teacher look-alike Johann Storakers raises to 450 from mid-position. The small blind, Samir   Shakhtoor, raises to 900. The big blind, Dennis   Bejedal, then does a evil genius type strokey-beard thing and says, "Johann Storakers..." He repops to 2,500. Johann folds, Samir instantly moves in and Dennis instantly called and there's a split second moment where I and the rest of the table watching, are guessing who has the Kings and who has the Aces. It's Samir though with the bullets and Dennis shows his Kings.

Board:

(but spread out so there was not two shouts of "Ohhhhh", as in one for each card, but just one very long "ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!" as the turn and river came

Finally,

Musicwatch

This man listening to his music so loudly that everyone in the poker room can hear it. Our Canadian friends say it is Avril Lavigne's song "Girlfriend" which includes such cutting lyrics as:

You're so fine
I want you mine
You're so delicious
I think about you all the time
You're so addictive
Don't you know what I can do to make you feel alright?

Given the rumours about Jimmy Saville I had to do a double-take at the web address on his T-shirt...

James Honeybone is standing up. Head in his hands, saying, "I should've folded, I know you have Aces," before trying to justify it at the same time rhetorically asking, "I came all this way from New Zealand to fold Kings preflop?"

But this was all after he had been in with against Anders Henriksson's .

A .... was rattled off and the Swede had just 650 chips left and whilst Honeybone has about 26k now, he's still trying to replay the hand in his head as to whether he should pass, whilst Anders was probably thinking...

In Brit on Brit action, Terry Cook raises to 700 from the button, Dan Carter makes it 2,200 from big blind, Cook shoves, Carter passes.

Last year's winner, Peter Jepsen is OUT.

Dan Carter said he'd been playing horrible, loose passive poker and getting himself into awkward spots.

The decks here in Poland seem to contain way more Aces and Kings than their more boring counterparts in, say, England.  To prove this nonsense, I present to you - Double Takedown AA vs KK within 5 minutes:

1)  A player whom our list tells us is Mal Hagan but actually might be anyone (there have already been four table breaks, Pab has moved twice etc. etc.) makes the all-in call on a flop of with only to find the happy guy pictured raking in his stack holding .  "So sick, Kings against Aces...twice!" remarks the busted probably-Hagan, as he leaves the cardroom...



2) Casey Kastle's (pictured) knocks out the of Joar Pettersen...
