Tony G!

One of my favourite players and he's barely had a mention.

To be fair he is secreted discreetly away in a far flung corner of the poker room. Nontheless I travelled far and wide, traversing dangerous lands, braving wave after wave of belligerent media trying to halt and hinder my progress but ultimately, bruised and bloodied, I emerged and found shining in my path, the holy grail and purpose of my adventure.

TONY G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the man. He was a bit miffed actually as he'd jsut had a bad beat KK v JJ. Thank god it wasn't a Russian who did it!

He currently has 10k or so and looks a bit tired. Don't worry though...I gee'd him up!



Accidental random picture of the day. Or excellent toe shot. Your call.

Big pot for Jan Heitmann.

UTG limps, Jan limps in mid-position, the button limps, the small blind folds and the big blind checks.



With 1.4k in the pot, the big blind open shoves for 6k, UTG calls, now Jan thinks and then pushes for around 24k total. UTG snap calls!

BB:

UTG:

Jan:

Turn:



So, Jan has to dodge any Ace, King, Four, Five or Eight...

River:



No luck and Heitmann is the chip leader with 60k.



And close behind him is Eric Koskas with about 57k. Benjo says, as we upload photos, "If you go back out there he could have 100k or he could be out, either is just as likely."

Thanks for the great updates guys.

Any news of Paul Gourlay please.

Roberto has been SHOOTING up, now on a massive 37k or so. Wowzer.

As I predicted the augmentation of his stack has been matched by a proportionate increase in the noise levels at his table. It's interesting because he is sharing the felt with Johannes Strassmann. I witnessed Johannes first hand on the final table in Dortmund and he was by far the most vocal of all the players there.

He hadn't met Roberto at that stage though.

As Roberto raises another pot and wins the blinds, Johannes tries to make him put the brakes on.

"You're raising too much, I'll have to get involved soon!"

"I'm raising too much??? Every time I've riased I've shown a hand. Not like you. You keep raising and showing me T-8 rubbish like that. Isn't that right?"

[Roberto gestures to his tablemates looking for support. There is just some quiet Italian giggling.]

"I've always got a hand me." - Surprisingly the table doesn't burst into laughter at this point. Whatever, it's working well for Roberto and he now holds a powerful stack.

Here is mid lecture on his tight raising requirements with the fellow to the left of the dealer trying desperately to get a word in!

George Danzer hasn't had the same luck as his friend Jan.

"I raised to 1,200 with A-7. I get one caller, the flop comes 4-4-7 with two diamonds, we both check, the turn is the , he bets 1,000, I make it 3,000, he makes it 8,000 so I go all-in for 25,000. He calls with and rivers the ."

George down to around 5k.

[JungleCat03]

I bumped into Martin Wendt as he popped out for a quick cigarette.

"How's it going Martin"

"Ahh, not great. Only got 10k"

We chat a bit about a couple of things and he mentions several times how he thinks Julian is a great player and even has a quick chirp about how he had a % of him in Baden.

"I knew he would win a tournament soon at that point" - pretty spot on judgement then!

Here's Martin, hoping to work his 10k into a worthwhile stack...




Just after this, Soren came marauding into the area, clenching his forearms repeatedly, waving them about like he was carving apart foes on one of his viking expeditions.

I tried to photograph him but he called on the spirits of Valhalla before I could snap him and disappeared with a roar into the ether. He's an amusing chap i must say!

Artist's impression.

15k at the moment, with 'Rocket Man' by Elton John on the iPod.

Tim Blake is also around this amount with about 17k.

Best dressed man in the room, Gino Alacqua is OUT.

[JungleCat03]

Pretty dealer picture to keep you perked up. Sorry to the guy on her right who thought I was snapping him. Hey I was! Kind of.



Stu Rutter - 9k now. Can't seem to build his stack into something worthwhile but he's not sinking yet. Here he is with his poker tutor. The guy on his right really needs to sort out his dreads though - I hesitate to say they're dreadful but.........they're dreadful!

[gobboboy]

Can I get an update on Mark 'Randal' Flowers? 

He's on the left.

Tim Blake aka the Timinator...( Ah go on then....just one more time!

)

is down to 11k and suffering. He'll be needing to make a move to double up soon.


Danny Negreanu - 22k. Good work from the canadian superstar!

Dennis Kobbero Plejdrup is OUT, victim of a canadian player i THINK is called Jordan Lande.

Lande flopped a set of with 8-8 whilst Dennis 8-9 top pair was virtually drawing dead on the flop and by the turn, it actually was. He'll probably be telling his mates about his one out bad beat later...

Lande up to 35k or so...

62 frenchies ?? oh my god !!!!!

their chipcount please ??

Stuart Rutter is OUT. against with a Jack on the flop for good measure.

Soren Kongsgaard is out too, he ended up all-in on the river of a A-7-4-9-6 board only to run into a river 8-5 straight from the big blind.

Daniel Negreanu is complaining about the lack of hands per hour, we've had three in twelve minutes, and to be honest, there does seem to be a lot of unnecessary dwelling, guys waiting to the last second before calling all-in after a clock has been called. It would annoy me too.

George Danzer is OUT.

After a load of limpers, 'Tiny Dancer' Paul Gourlay pushed for 5,250 and managed to get all of them out, he then showed



Mark Teltscher has snuck into the tournament area using a media pass. He multi-jobs you know...
