PokerStars.Com EPT Monte Carlo: Day 2- Interactive

[danafish]

Morning all! We are in fact in our bedsit-hotel drinking duty-free right now, but come 1pm Monaco time (12 noon GMT) we will be back at the Monte Carlo Bay Sporting Club Giganto-Ballroom to follow our combined Days 1a and 1b survivors as they battle it out for what we believe is Europe's biggest ever prizepool - an eye-watering, nip-inducing €8.42 MILLION!!! 

We three highly professional updaters will be ready, notepads in hand and a single magical Mechanical Eye (camera) between us to give you the lowdown and possibly the dirty on all the action. A full player list along with chipcounts and that all-important payout will be with us in the morning for your edification - in the meantime, please feel free to put in your advance requests for persons to be updated on etc, otherwise we will be deciding who to update on by scrying, and breathing in the heady fumes from our potion - one part duty free brandy, one part €20 hamburger, three parts poker player, and all goooood...

Good luck today to, er, whoever wins! Remember we've been rooting for you from day one. 

[snoopy1239]

Good morning, blonde, and welcome to Day 2 of the 2008 EPT Grand Final here in Monte Carlo. With the likes of Marc Goodwin, Stuart Fox, Surinder Sunar and Josh Gould, we have plenty of Brits capable of going deep in this event. Then there's messieurs Peter Roche, Paul Bracken and last year's casher Shane Reihill flying the flag for Ireland, all three keeping a firm eye on that two million plus first prize. As well as the homegrown talent, there should be plenty of support for some of our across-the-pond friends, young guns such as Michael Martin, Daniel Didech, Ben Sulsky and Richard Fohrenbach all worthy of a mention. In fact, speaking of our American pals, I was browsing through the 2+2 forums when I stumbled upon their Monte Carlo thread. Reading through, I quickly learned of Jeff 'ActionJeff' Garza's contempt for the room service here at the Monte Carlo Bay and Resort. I didn't think too much of it at the time, but when I trundled in this morning, I passed through the lobby of the hotel, and there he was, Mr Actionjeff himself. However, unlike his usual cheery self, he was fuming at one of the Spanish waiters, Manuel I think his name was, about the state of the menu. Not one to miss a photo opportunity, I quickly swiped out the camera and this was the result:

My 5 picks to go deep for the cash in no particular order.

Johnny Lodden
Michael Martin
Mel Judah
Marc Goodwin
Danny Ryan


Sorry guys you'll probably all bust now before the bubble

[LAhavana]

Hi guys nice updates keep it up!!!

Could you wish Mr Dunwoodie the best of luck for today thanks!!!

[snoopy1239]

The clock has yet to start a ticking, but I predict we'll be ready for the off soon. In the meantime, be sure to get your requests in early before they move tables, otherwise it can be a needle in haystack jobby with so many players.

[jpean]

Hello every body...

My picks for today are Cyril Bensoussan, Daniel Degreanu and Alexia Portal

[77dave]

Yes yes indeed, a moment with the finder function tells me he has 70,800.
