Hi,

I have three friends in this tournament, Daniel Didech, Ben Sulsky, and Johan Van Til. I appreciate the sparing updates you have on Sulsky and Didech, they are much appreciated! If you didn't know, Ben Sulsky is a very well respected high stakes online cash game player, mostly playing 10/20 NL 6 max, he goes by the handle "Sauce123." Johan Van Til is also well regarded in the online community, as he is considered one of the top Online tournament players in the world. I saw that Van Til was short stacked, is he still in this thing?

Hi. Do you have a photo of Johan Van Til? A lot of the tables have broken up.

Good morning Blondies -- looking forward to another day of great reporting by your crack staff ----

Good ol Bill even had time to jot a quick prediction of the delicious evening meal ahead...

Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and hair of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble - €100

Apart from the FYP there, that's almost exactly what I had for breakfast.

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.

The Scandinavian contingent of the media room never get overly excited when Johnny Lodden takes a big stack into Day 2, as history suggests that it'll be severely depleted by the end of the day. However, every EPT it is expected that he'll be able to change gears (or, if I am being too harsh, endure better fortunes) and hold onto his early pace setting stack and go on to finally threaten a final table or two. After playing them for a good few seasons nows, I believe this could be the one where he shines, as Johnny has almost doubled his stack to the 150-160k mark and is looking like a formidable force.

Is Trond Eidsvig out, or did his computer just log in to MSN on it's own?

Is there any other player out there, that we will know, that may be able to point him out?

Trond Eidsvig is very much in, as proven by this recent mid-massage photo.

In fact, Trond is looking good with a near 100k stack, the majority of which was won when Miguel Magan Tier made a pre-flop move with K-Q off. Sadly for that player, his timing was off as Trond woke up with Aces and called quicker than a sheep at a woolly jumper convention. A Queen hit the Flop to make it exciting, but alas it was merely a teaser, Trond banging the table in excitement as the Turn and River dealt out blanks.

You could try Shaun Deeb or Danny Ryan maybe? They very well may have met him before but I really don't know. Note he is from the Netherlands, so any poker players from there in the tournament may very well know him. Oh, and if you talk to Shaun Deeb make sure to ask him if he's "Wafflecrushing" the field.

Actually that Lodden stack is now looking to be over 180k and I can say with about 50% confidence (carefully and mathematically, er, guessed by me) that he is our current chip leader. Most recently he has knocked out Last Gould Standing Josh. I caught the hand on the flop - there had been a considerable amount of betting pre, evidently, and it seemed that Josh had bet 8k on the flop and Johnny had announced all in. Josh squirmed for a very long time before calling to see the most heartbreaking of hole cards.

Odds that Lodden will still not make the money, anyone?

Here's Gino Alacqua, asking how Freddy's son, Shaun, is getting on in the comp. But Gino should be more concerned with his own adventures, as just moments ago he found himself all-in with versus versus on a . I'm assuming Gino was short and the action was pre-flop, but either way it's a timely treble through for the Italian.

If this is Johan, he's got 63,000.  If it isn't, then this guy has 63,000.

How are Alexia Portal and Michel Abecassis ?
