PokerStars.Com EPT Monte Carlo: Day 2- Interactive

Stephen King-a-likey Mr Jan Sjavik has doubled up - not sure when the chips went in, or indeed what happened, but he was holding and his lime-shirted opponent, I believe one Travis Klein, was holding .

The Board -

Jan Sjavik - up to over 50k
Travis Klein - down to 11.5k

Just as I was about to venture back into the battlefield to report on some of the aforementioned requests, hundreds of players came charging out of the bathroom like a horde of teenagers at a Take That concert. Dodging the oncoming crowd like Stretch Armstrong doing the limbo, I spotted an unusual pairing in naughty Internetters Josh Field and Sorel Mizzi. I was inches away from photographing the pair of them for some sure-to-be-amusing blonde photoshopping and inevitable mocking, but backed out at the very last moment as Sorel's suspicious glare caught my eye. Fearing a Bjork-esque punch in the face, I dropped the camera to my side and wisely retreated.

Instead, and perhaps as some sort of compensation for my lack of courage, please see this photoshop constructed picture of Andrew Teng and Daniel Didech. Scouring through the forums, I stumbled upon a thread by which Andrew and Daniel were discussing the possibility of "backing a horse" in the 20k STTs, a game that they believe might hold a bit of a value. In response to that suggestion, Dana and I would like to offer ourselves up as possible horse candidates. We don't look like much, but we have more game than an entire cast of High Stakes Poker and would be more than happy to take down the high stake STTs on your behalf. Unfortunately, we are a bit short on finances at the moment as so would require you to pay the entire 40k, and we must also demand 100% of any winnings. Deal?

Stage right just inside the dazzlingly mirrored entrance to the Salle des Etoiles, heads turned toward one table as one player knocked out another one with a particularly vocal, fist-pumpy reaction.  So loud and incomprehensible was the victor, that I immediately looked for Soren Jensen, but in fact it was this guy - Samir Rahal.  "YEEESSS!!" he continued, while the dealer waited politely until the busted one had hit the rail before announcing, "Seat Open!"



"What nationality do you think he is?" asked Benjo.
"French."
"Yes."

He now has 48,000.

Not sure about Danny To The D-Ry currently, but Mr Taveres is running well - he just knocked out one Nathan Doudney.

Bit sick actually - Nathan bet 10k on a flop and Felipe made it All In. Nathan called, and the cards were flipped thus:

Nathan Doudney -
Felipe Tavernes -

The dealer makes Nathan wait for AGES while he's counting the stacks to see if he gets any change, but he doesn't, and is officially OUT.

[Djinn]

For those who don't know him - this is Ed de Haas, just moving tables as yet another one breaks.  This is not a photoshop - he really is stratospherically tall.



PLUS  - and I think this gives him added intimidation value - he's wearing what looks like the full hide of an alligator as a jacket, probably one he wrestled to death with his bare hands.

Good luck to Benjamin R

You mean the tallest man in the world?

[TidalWave]

Any news on Johnny Lodden guys? I doubt he double or busted since he started the day third in chips but you never know off course.

[boldie]

great updates guys!

And definitely fake, Bandit.

[NoflopsHomer]

Good luck to Benjamin R

You mean the tallest man in the world?

Kudos to you for that.

Speaking of Kudos, here he is with Kang.

Also running well is Luca Pagano, shoving a J-4-T flop with K-Q and getting himself called by Peter Roche's J-T.

Turn - 9 obviously
River - an irrelevant 2

Double up to 76.2k for Pagano, who does a little chicken dance to celebrate:




Double down and a consolatory massage for Peter Roche - looks like around 25k he's left with:

tyty i hope mr dunwoodie is still hanging in there!

Thomas Dunwoodie's seat is now being occupied by a random French player (Frenchieboy), so unless he's moved table, I fear he may be out. However, on that table are two Brits in the form of 'Greekfish' Andrew Andreou and Vicky Coren who have 31,000 and 5,400 respectively. Amusingly, Greek Fish mistook the  short-haired dealer for a lad and asked, "How much is it, sir... oh, sorry, I mean young lady." 

[danafish]

Continuing with the double-up theme, Mr Barry Greenstein has in some wise Got It In with pocket Kings against someone else's K-Q - all I know is that there was an Ace on the flop and a King on the turn... Actually I didn't really see the hand, I saw all the cards being swept away at the end and all the chips being swept Greenstein-wards. Most unusual, I don't believe I've ever seen him smile before. This is what that looks like:
