Whith his mountain of chips, if he doesn't go to the final table, he would at least have made speaking...

The Hof Turns Pushbot...

Daniel Hofmeister has been in this exact position, short stack over the line, quite a few times in this level.  With just 20k, then 20k+5k, then 20k+5k+5k... you get the picture.  How many times will he need to do this to:

(a) get all the chips in the tournament
(b) create a stack which can dent the leaders
(c) piss off his table?

No one's given him a spin as yet.  But it's about 5 mins to the tournament area from here so I would wager heavily that upon returning to the floor Mr. Hofmeister has 60k+ or 0k.

2 questions :

 - When is the next break ?
 - Some news of the frenchies please ?

[Djinn]

A lot of similarly created situations to the Honeybone/Haugen re-raise all-in one have been occurring, but theirs was the exception in that the final shove was called.  Big numbers of chips are therefore being shipped around the tables not only with no showdown, but with no flop either.

Example A

Juan Lapido raises pre to 5k. Neighbour and cutoff Cristiano Blanco re-raises to 10,500.  Immediately Lapido announces, "raise," then takes a minute or so to decide how much.  The pot is gathered, he counts his stack, peers at Blanco's, and then he makes it another 12k to go.  This gives Blanco some tough-looking dwell time.  "How much do you have left?"  It turns out that he covers Lapido and decided that that raise may be the kind of "Go on, do it" sort of prompt which meant his hand (or re-steal) was not worth it.  Pass.

Example B

Sebastian Ruthenberg does almost exactly the same thing as Juan Lapido, raising pre, getting re-raised 18k and moving in for 41,700.  "I should have just called," laments his would-be attacker, folding.

Don't do this too often, but big up to our Polish Tournament Director, who has sensibly decided to break the tables starting at the back of the room, i.e the ones that the rail cannot see. This, at the same time, frees up lots of extra room for the press as they're actually removing the tables which is making everyone very happy. A far cry from Barcelona where we were all slowly crushed into a tiny area with little help.

Thanks Mr TD.

My nan's going to be furious. The chap on the left with the drink is wearing her curtains.

Craig 'The Apple' Hopkins eliminates Derek Montgomery. Hopkins raises from the cut-off and Montgomery moves in for a little less than 10k more. Hopkins is behind, but forced to call. The Canadian, who qualified from a Step 2 sattelite flips .



The Apple is now sitting with a golden delicious 70k.

He'll be pleased, we usually fake-LOL at his jokes to make him feel better. 

[James Honeybone Support]

How's  the  big  New  Zealander  James  Honeybone  going  ?

[NoflopsHomer]

Poor old Brian Jensen.

First he calls a 25k push from Piergiorgio D'ancona with up against his (I'm guessing) Italian opponent's .



Brian raises his eyebrows slightly.



He raises his eyebrows higher.



His eyebrows end up hovering above his head.

No matter because soon after he battling another short stack with a dominating against , no problems here surely?!?

...Ahhh crap

On the plus side, crazy Frenchman Jean Claude Perot hasn't actually punched him. Yet.

[NoflopsHomer]

Christoffer Sonnesson, looking like someone just planted a giant stack in front of him while he wasn't looking.

[NoflopsHomer]

David Robinson and Jari-Pekka Juhola manage to create a 60k pot on a board holding and respectively, no help for either and the former is stuck with just 25k left.

Kenneth Matsson has been knocked out by Henrik Gwinner, A-T no good vs Q-Q.

Breaktime!
