[NoflopsHomer]

Having made the strenuous decision to try and get out of bed and get breakfast at our hotel, I found out that they don't serve breakfast after 10.30am. I really feel the universally accepted system of when meals are is designed to make people in the updating field miserable.

Nevermind though, here's the full seating plan for todays remaining 130 players.

Who are your picks then? I'm going for Andreas Hagen, Sebastian Ruthenberg and Theo Jorgensen.

Play starts at 2pm (1pm UK)

[jpean]

Good Morning Warsaw !!

yep... some "LaFranceWatch" and some blondes players today ?

[taximan007]

Good Luck to James Honeybone and all blondes still in

[Djinn]

I pick:  Dan Carter + Joseph Serock + Woody Deck as hopefully they will make their tables interesting resulting in accumulating enough chips for the FINAL which isn't today.  I haven't had any tea yet, apologies for the clunky language.

We're a good 45 mins from kickoff but Homer dragged me out of bed so that we could get a good seat in the pressroom, which although less full than usual at an EPT event is nonetheless nice and cosy...

Hello new member 'James Honeybone Support.'  Who is your pick then?

[julian]

get yourselves up to the fifth floor where there is a freebie lounge if you have the right room no.
(629 should do the trick) 

[jpean]

I, My picks are : Andy Black and Marc Goodwin plus the frenchie Jean-Claude Perrot who has a nice stack now...

 

[booder]

Woody Deck..............Mr Cool..............Mr Thew

[LLevan]

Mr Thew
Mr Lodden
Mr Deck

1 & 2 obviously if they get a quick couple of double ups will be dangerous. 3 because Ace rag rules in his book.

[NoflopsHomer]

Thewy is OUT in the first hand, "It was always going to be an uphill struggle."

He pushed with K-5 from the cut-off but Andreas Hagen found A-K in the small blind.

Here's proof that he was actually here today.

[NoflopsHomer]

Marc Goodwin and Woody Deck are sharing a table, (I believe the card Woody is reading says, "Ace-Rag is teh bestest eva")



Liz Lieu and Dan Carter are neighbours...



Whilst James Honeybone is also on this table...



Finally, they're paying an odd number of players, just 1st to 4th, then 25th and 32nd.

[Djinn]

All-in short stacks all over the room are taking their shots and holding their collective breath, some doubling up, some adding to the rich's riches...

Kai Leurer makes a stand preflop for 8,400 and finds a caller in Marc Goodwin.  But Leurer's is ahead of Mr. Cool's and stays so, knocking him back to the point where the very next hand he's the one shoving pre...  Down to 10,000 or so but still in.
____________________________________________________

Likewise David Robinson doubled up Craig 'The Apple' Hopkins, who shoved it all in (13,200) over the top of his RHS neighbour's preflop raise to 2,400.  He got called pretty speedily with and found his in a tournament-life race...
Flop:    Already pretty good for Hopkins
Turn:   Better
River:  Better still.

[LLevan]

Once again I'll take a bow on some superb bokkage by myself. Now if only we could persuade Floppy & Jen to up the norkage stakes  

[Djinn]

Amongst all these doubler uppers, we lose short stack Mike Leah, who was called all-in preflop by Hecham El Sayed.
"I hope you have K-J..." remarked Leah, flipping .
"Two Kings," deadpanned El Sayed, showing .
By the turn the board was paired, and Leah was hoping for the second pair over the Fours making his kicker spring to life, but it was not to be.  He wished Liz Lieu good luck and headed for the rail.

[jpean]

when do you have chip counts ? every break or every increase of the blinds ?

Asking that to avoid bothering you with that when you cannot answer...

[Djinn]

Niclas Svensson (pictured) rakes in a lake of chips as he gets a threeway pot in which his flopped set of Threes bide their time until an Ace on the turn makes the other guys two pair each (A7 and A3 their hands).  The betting goes nuts and this happy stacker is the result.  Note blogger/secret service agent talking to earpiece in background.
