[JungleCat03]

ok, I'm putting a perhaps unmerited amount of faith into the sheet of names we have been handed, detailing today's players to do this, but here are some recent eliminees.

Villmure Maxime - OUT!
Jimmy Walberg - OUT!
Reijo Manninen - OUT!
Thomas Fougeron - OUT!
Brandon Schaffer - OUT!
Sahl Hakan - OUT!
Gregory Byard - OUT!


Pascal Perrault is one of the French players playing today. He looks to have had a quiet opening to the tournament, still holding roughly 10k.

He is also the current fore-runner and strongly tipped favourite to win SHIRT OF THE DAY.

Any updates on Chris Lee and another update on Michael Martin would be lovely.

Nick Gibson has put his foot to the gas after a slow start...

On a board of T-J-Q-7-2 I saw he had a mateyboy at his table allin, matey holding J-7 which was NO GOOD against Nick's K-9 straight. A nice boost to his stack, he looks to have around 15k at the moment...

Finally we have the photogenic Liz Lieu, who has jsut under 10,000 chips at the moment.

She is seated next to Joe Grech, who perked up and put his arm round her as I approached their table. Sadly I wasn't in possession of the camera at the time, so you'll have to make do with this shot of Liz from earlier...

Any updates on Rory Rees.

17k at the dinner break, but his table is tough now.

Why who's on his table?

[NoflopsHomer]

Steve Jelinek went out earlier. Rod is just off to find out about Tom McEvoy, I did see him earlier knock out a guy with Eights vs Ace King, the other guy hit two pair but Tom four-flushed in diamonds.

Meanwhile, Rolf Slotboom is always good for a soundbite.

Good players was what he said, all the bad locals are now out.

Sure, Michael is on 26k having hit the heady heights of 32k before. He raised with 4's and ended up getting all the chips on a 7-5-4 board vs 6-6, but hasn't won a pot since then.

Chris Lee -- 20k (I think)

[marcmacd]

Thanks, im sure he'll more than hold his own, like to see him do well

As I circled the tables, I noticed young Swedish player Cecelia Borg at the tables, recently spotted at the Irish Open.

I was surprised to see her at this EPT as well, especially given her lack of form in Live comps (even less hendonmob database entries than me!) A little investigation later and I discover that she won the bet365 leaderboard, which meant she has been paid in to play in all the EPT and WPT events this year. Sweet deal !

She is Locutus(t) player in the tournament. I wouldn't mind being assimilated by her.

Woody "Can't Miss" Deck continues domination of his table and is well over 30k now.

"You hit everything!" one exasperated opponent told him after he made 2 pair with 8-4 on the river to beat his opponent's outkicking-him-till-the-river Q-4.

"hehehehe"replied Woody.


Here is the man who is being smacked repeatedly in the face by his surname.

Andrew, for a man with a long, black history of contrived and dubious puns,  this particular one is SOOO bad that it eclipses all your previous work and I have to say it is one of the most disgraceful puns ever unleashed on the english language.

Have you ever considered a job as an updater?

Katja Thater is out, as is Patric Antonius after making a big bluff but running into trips.

Dan Carter has doubled up with Threes against Jack Ten on a board.

Liz Lieu just won a big pot, there was an EP raise to 800, followed by another player who hadn't seen the raise but was forced to re-raise to 1,300. Lieu called, as did the OR.



Checked around.



Liz Lieu bets 1,500. OR folds and the re-raiser makes it 3k. After some deliberation, Lieu calls the suspect min-raise.



Check check. Lieu shows pocket Queens, beating .
