Good morning San Remo, Good Morning updaters...

Good Luck to the frenchies who are still in and particularly to Anthony Lelouche, Pascal Perrault and Paul Testud, My picks for today !

Jpean!

Yes the French players have put in a strong showing so far with Eric Koskas and Anthony Lellouche perched ominously in the top 4 at the moment. Leading the pack for the Brits is the irrepressible Welshman Roberto Romanello with a fine stack of 86k. With Radio Romanello at full blast, there would be great entertainment on the final table so I'd like to see him come through today in good shape. Go the welsh wizard! Mark Teltscher, Roland De Wolfe and Marc Goodwin are three of the most recognisable Brits left and all have decent stacks that could see them make the final table whilst Paul Alterman, Josh Gould, Graham Clarkson and several others complete the UK contingent still staking a claim to glory.


It should be a great day. We anticipate a fiery start as some of the shorties gamble to build a stack so gl to all and let's gogogogo!

As you may have noticed in the background, they're building the TV table for tomorrow for the live feed. Blonde will actually have access to this live feed so from tomorrow you will be able to read our updates and watch the live feed at the same time. Hows about that then?

[NoflopsHomer]

Thomas Fourgeron is OUT with the into of Alessandro De Michele.

Graham 'Evil Genius' Clarkson pushed K-Q over the top of an A-6 button raise, was called but managed to nose ahead on a A-J-T-A-x board.

Daniel Negreanu has doubled up with the stellar A-3 vs A-A coup pushing over the top of a late position raise and in no way at all sucking out on the 7-4-7-5-6 board.

Martin Wendt bets 4,800 on a flop, Simon Johansson c/raises all-in for around 22k more. Wendt tanks but passes , Roland De Wolfe pipes up, "I snap call there!"

[JungleCat03]

Some photos of the early action.



Roberto Romanello. Fairly quiet at the moment, just seen folding A-J on the turn face up.

"I've always got a hand - me" he might have said in his chirpy welsh accent later in the day but he's just quietly getting into things at the moment.




The tournament organisers have seated two of the hoody of the day contenders together to assist hte photographers. Very kind of them too!

Here we have Brad Pitt lookalike Tim Van Der Zwet and well supported American player, especially by the Gobbo clan, Mark Flowers. No early fluctuations in their starting stacks 28k and 19k respectively.

Reportedly we are down one Frenchman.

Pascal Perrault and Liz Lieu saw an ace high flop and shipped their chips in faster than you could say "Sacre bleue, i sink i ave ze nuts!" but when the dust settled the A-J of triple P was languishing behind Lieu's A-Q and no outdraw means the amiable, pony-tailed French maestro departs the arena...

Bad luck Jpean...

Monorail......Monorail.......Monorail....Marc Goodwin has doubled up with vs on a .

Rolf Slotboom may have temporarily abandoned his fixation with his trademark tictacs but he has retained his penchant for arranging his stack into attractive sculptures. I'm a big fan of his twin towers rising from an ocean of chips with a Taj Mahal style tower topping it off.

Kid's got style!

Justin Truesdell has knocked out Marcos Gabriel and Simone Rossi with vs vs , turning a flush.

Canadian player, Matt Kay is riding high at the moment, up with the chip leaders, holding a whopping 90k. Everything's a-o-KAY with Matt!




Superdry Motor-oil t-shirt wearing Roland De Wolfe is hoping some slick moves can grease the wheels of his ascent through the field today.

He's a slippery customer for sure, and if he doesn't get fried, is definitely a contender for the title.

Todd Brunson is looking a little short at the moment with a mere 18k. 15BBs won't last too long with the pressure applied by the antes i'd've thought...


Roland De Wolfe also looks like he has suffered a set back or two in the early stages and can't have much more than 16k, unless he has hidden some chips away somewhere...


Danish player Jonas Klausen is one of the chip leaders at present with 90-95k in his stack.


John Kabbaj is OUT! Details of his exit are unavailable but he was spotted away from the tables availing himself of one of the ham and cheese sandwiches from the bar.

Kabbaj's des-patched kids.

Just read somewhere that roberto lost a big pot - jacks against kings! can you pls give me an update on his stack please

cheers

He's lost more than that now. Check/raising Eric Koskas' 7.5k bet to 20.7k on a board, but then folding to a push. Koskas triumphantly showed what he thought was a bluff in , until Roberto showed .
