PokerStars EPT Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive

[jpean]

As for ElkY, he won the recent Bahamas EPT that I was updating. I don't really think he's a fishy, just my poor sense of humour misfiring for the umpteenth time.

don't worry I had understood that...

you're lucky... I was about to ask dana for dealing with the frenchie... I was beginning to think that they are less lucky when it's you

I know that tables are breaking and this photo I found under a pile of virtual stuff and may not accurately represent the seating positions of these two players any more, but here are Marc Goodwin and Gus Hansen.  Note how Marc Goodwin gets a reporter balancing a notepad on his head, while Hansen gets a lovely smiley masseuse easing his stressed muscles.  I know which I'd prefer.

hi can you tell me if antoni romanello is still going and how he doing please....

[danafish]

Yes, and that extraordinary Mickey Wernick hand.

I arrive just in time to see a flop, and to see that Mr Trousers Of The Day (who I have discovered is called Michiel Brummelhuis) has bet 1600 and that a Mateyboy to Mickey's immediate right has made it 4k. Mickey sighs and checks his hole cards. THEY'RE ACES!!! Sorry, got a bit excited there, but at this point Roberto Romanello taps Mickey on the shoulder. "I'm just in a hand here," says Mickey. Roberto comes over to where I'm standing. "Didn't realise he was in a hand there."

MICKEY FOLDS!!!

Ahem. Says Roberto, "Did you see his pass?!?! He passed Aces!!!" Mr Brummelhuis-Trousers calls. Mickey gets up and comes over to us. "I passed Aces. I trap-checked and the guy bet, but then the other guy went over the top." Meanwhile Mr Brummelhuis and Mr Mateyboy check down the turn and the river.

Michiel Brummelhuis - J-J
Mateyboy - 8-T

An almighty sigh from Mickey...

OMG jpean for mod!

Jpean since you've been following the updates since like 3 months ago, the Frenchies have been getting the lot!

Manuel (I genuinely can't stop thinking about Faulty Towers whenever I write that name) has doubled up to 19k. He raised to 1k from the cut-off with Tens before smooth calling an extra 1.2k re-raise from the small blind. The small blind led out on the 8-9-J Flop, Manuel pushed all-in and Mateyboy called with Kings. Manuel Turned a Seven for the straight and proceeded to jump onto the table swinging his trousers over his head whilst chanting "I am a golden God, I am a golden God!". Okay, maybe that last bit was made up.

On a board of 2s-Ks-Th-3s, hatty Vicky Coren takes a pot off Josh Egan to leave the New Zealander with 9k, whilst Vicky jumps up to 17.5k.
