PokerStars EPT Monte Carlo: Day 1B - Interactive

[danafish]

James Honeybonster is indeed OUT. "It's like I was going forwards in a snow plough, but it was in reverse." Not sure I understand that particular simile, but most of the damage was done with A-K v J-J earlier on, and he never really recovered.

Paul Testud and Eric Larcheveque please ?

And if you have time, Negreanu and Sunar too ?

Below are chip counts for some of the remaining players that have been requested today. If we've missed anyone, please give us a shout, although the chances are that they might be out.

Thomas Dunwoodie -- 14,500
Lee Nelson -- 15,325
Vicky Coren -- 14,100
Neil Channing -- 31,300
Mickey Wernick -- 15,200
Steve Paul-Ambrose -- 5,875
Michael Martin -- 68,500
Andrew Teng -- 28,575
Manuel Palanca -- 23,150
Paul Bracken -- 22,000

No sign of James Honeybone, Tero Laurila, Maz Nawab, Faraz Jaka, Jeff Garza or Mike McDonald, so it looks as though they may have been eliminated.

Correction. Mike McDonald is definitely still in, although he only has 6,500 at time of writing.

we have a request from 2+2 for status on Ben Sulsky, no pic.

thanks!

I don't know that player I'm afraid, but I'll ask around the American press to see if they can identify him. Do you know of any fellow players in the field that may know who he is and be able to point me in the right direction?

One Neil Channing has been moved to Vicky Coren's table - yikes...

And he's wasted no times in getting involved. Vicky limps utg and Mateyboy in Seat 9 (henceforth to be known as MB9) makes it 900 to go. The ginger Mateyboy in Seat 1 (henceforth - MB Ginger) calls. Neil on the button makes it 3k. "Nothing to see here," he says to me, "It's going to be a small pot." The blinds and Vicky fold, but MB9 and MB Ginger call.

Flop - and it checks to Neil, who promptly bets 6.5k. To which MB9 promptly announces all in. MB Ginger gets out of the way, and so too does  Neil. He's now down to 22k or so.

I found a picture of him:

Michael Martin is up to 75 or 80k. "I just got every card you can possibly imagine."

The Twelve of Clubs! The Twenty Five of Emeralds!

I'm sorry, I'm very tired now.

Blimey, that was a big pot he won.

I can't tell if those are chips or beer cans.

Crumbs, on second glance, are those the pointiest eyebrows you've ever seen?. They're like little seagulls perched on his eyelids.

Thanks for the update.  I hope it ends soon so he can get some sleep but, knowing him, he'll go out afterwards!!

Wow, they might even be pointier than Neil Channing's eyebrows:

"Mike, Mike," exclaims Mickey Wernick beckoning over his sponsor. "Look at this for a beat, hit it on the Turn."

On a board, Frenchman Antoine Nahas had bet out 8k, only for Mickey to hesitantly call with , saying "Got the full house? If you've got the full house, you've won" as he hovered the chips over the felt.

As Mickey planted the 8k onto the baize, Antoine flipped over , much to the Worm's dismay. "Yeah, you got it," he sighs in admission.

Mickey down to 7k and, dare I say it, looking mighty pissed off.

This is he!  I know because I asked him - the cop out way to get information, when the underground network runs dry.  He was having a massage just a moment ago  and looked pretty happy, with around 43,000.  Not a bad stack at all.  He seemed endearingly surprised to have been asked about online (via a kind of US-UK-forum Columbo by Gobbomom    ) and I said he had requests for updates on him.  "I want fans!  I have more chips than he does..." wheedles Glen Chorney (sat two to Sulsky's right, incidentally.  So he gets a photo too, and a count:  52k.  Let's hear some Glen support!
