Apologies for the delay in updates. This was not a problem our end, but an issue with the host server. The updates shall now, barring another server issue, continue as usual.

Many thanks for your continued support.

With most Day 3s, the opening level is normally the Level of Death with shortstacks pushing left, right and centre. However, on this occassion, this hasn't necessarily been the case. I don't know if it's because of the 15k starting stack, the generous 90 minute levels or the mouth-watering prizepool up for grabs, but the action hasn't been as fast paced as previous EPT's would suggest. Having said that, there were a few unhappy faces, Philippe Ktorza and the  wonderfully named Derek Van Damme both frog splashing (pun there for a very niche audience) their way out of the event within the first thirty minutes.

There hasn't been the flurry of lemming-like all-ins we have almost come to expect from a later-day-in-tournament start.  Quite the opposite, everyone* is playing a thoughtful, considered game, and as a result there is a more hushed atmosphere, with some serious-faced hand-shaking of the table when people get eliminated.

There also seems to be a lot of Day Three Syndrome Floplessness, as re-raises take pots down from the continual raisers - like Oyvind Riisem, whose stack is of phenomenal size and doesn't seem to have been coloured up at all.  He kind of has to keep his elbows pointing out to the sides to get his hands in position to check his cards, which makes me think that keeping the tables eight-handed was definitely a good idea.


*Well, obviously not everyone, but the majority seem to be

One pot which threatened to become very large saw Eric Liu on the cutoff betting 19k into a pot which had somehow become 36k preflop (sorry I missed that bit) on a flop of two hearts and Csaba Toth raising on the button, to 41,400.  A serious-faced Liu considered whether to tangle with his fairly deep-stacked neighbour further, before deciding against it.  He still has 135k, though.

Mr Marcel Luske is OUT. All we saw was the Marcel-standing-up-while-Glen-Chorny-rakes-in-his-chips bit, I'm afraid, but one thing we know for certain is that the Dutchman will be flying home tonight. Or possibly staying in lovely sunny Monte Carlo for a few more days, but I think I've made my puntastic point.

One man who suffered the wrath of the Poker Gods early doors was former Israeli army officer (deactivate smug mode for knowing pointless trivia) Eli Elezra. Short-stacked and praying for a hand, he found two cowboys grinning back at him and quickly pushed all-in. Across the table, an even short-stacked Joseph Udine picked up Pocket Snowmen and decided to take a stab. In seemingly good shape, Eli was all smiles and confident of victory, but his smile was soon wiped off his face as a stomach-churning 8-J-3 hit the Flop to leave Eli praying for one of two outs. As Vincent Secher begrudged his misfortune of releasing Pocket Jacks pre-flop, the dealer continued to deal out the rest of the board, the raggy Five and Ten Turn and River leaving Eli down to the felt. Udine, meanwhile, walked briefly away from the table, quietly celebrated, and returned with a restrained grin.

A few hands later, Eli was smiling once again and entertaining his neighbour and fellow High Stakes Poker star Antonio Esfandiair. In response to the banter, Antonio added, "Why do I have so much fun when you're at the table, Eli?"

Stuart Fox makes it 6k from one off the cutoff, only for Connor Drinan on the actual cutoff to make it All In for 45.5k. And it's pretty poor timing from Connor - Foxy does eventually fold, but not until after big blind Peter Traply wakes up with Aces and calls.

Traply -
Drinan -

Nice flop for Drinan, nice turn and river for Traply: Two Diamonds

Meaning that Mr Connor Drinan is OUT.

Andreas Fluri found Jacks and moved in his stacks.

A-7 had Clayton Maguire, so an Ace he did require.

The bullet on the River left Andreas in a tither, or should that be Fluri in a fury.

However subdued the start may have been, in recent minutes it's been insanity here!



One level in and about a third of our remaining field has exploded, all this without the average stack ever dropping below 50 big blinds. Nutters.

Pablo Erbiana nearly had to be restrained, his roar of delight as his Jacks held up against Uffe Holm's A-Q being heard across the breadth of the room.

Meanwhile, Jan Sjavik was left shaking his head when his A-K failed to hold up against Stefan Gelm's Q-Js on a J-7-5-6-8 board.
