PokerStars EPT Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive

[Djinn]

Evening,

good updates, if you can pick him out. can i have an update on Antoni Romanello pls (brother of roberto, look very similar)

thank you

Roberto was wandering through the cardroom in good spirits today, keeping an eye on his bro.  Apparently a concerted effort from him, Antoni and Mickey Wernick spun up the last-minute buy-in for Romanello #2 yesterday in the SNGs! 

*Note* This is in no way meant to encourage the frivolous journeying of young poker players to places where it costs to breathe like Monaco in search of the Great Spin Up...







...But it does work sometimes.

I know she's french, but no idea what she looks like...

One encounter that I almost forgot to retell was that of William Martin and Bahamas EPT casher and enigmatic Frenchman Jacques Zaicik. With the Flop reading , Jacques bet out 3,600 only to be raised to 10,475 by Martin, the youngster putting his tournament life on the line. As William kept his nerve whilst resting his head on his hand and elbow, Jacques leaned back in his seat and folded his arms, clearly perplexed by the decision ahead. After a minor bout of table talk, Jacques ultimately found the 6,875 to small to resist and firmly planted his sole column of chips onto the green of the baize. William flicked over his cards, although one got stuck allowing just a Queen to be revealed. "Queens" deduces Jacques correctly as he reveals a dominated A-J. A Turn and River resulted in an adrenalin pumped "Yes" from Martin, whilst Jacques simply released a designated sigh as just a couple of thousand in chips was returned to him.

ps. Notice Dana intentionally sneaking into my photo, later demanding not to be cropped like the Diva of all Divas. It's like a Where's Wally now.

Hey guys and gals --

I have another friend of Michael's that I would like an update on.  I'm not sure of his original table though.  His name is Ben Sprengers.  Thanks.

Mr Lee Nelson is alive, well and definitely still in - I actually have an awesome photo of him but Snoopy's wandered off with the camera. Neverends. Coming soon...

Jan's original seat is empty - this doesn't necessarily mean the worst has happened, but I'm afraid I can't see him anywhere currently so it is a definite possibility.

Hi! 

I have an quite unusual request for you guys today.
Any chance you could take some kind of closeup pic of some chips?   would like to know how close those replica sets are to the real thing:)

Ok, shall do, although a curious thing - yesterday the 5k chips were white, and today they are a sort of beigey brown colour. Either somebody spilled their coffee on them, or, more likely, they are today using for the tournament the chips that they were yesterday using in the sit n gos. So bear in mind that there may indeed be more than one design of Official Pokerstars EPT Tournament Chips, if that's what you have...

Have you guys been able to get a deacent pic for me yet?
