Poor old Johnny, he is so due the biggy.

How are the two Frenchies ? (table Hachem)

Disaster!

Isaac Baron makes it 44k one off utg, which is all fine, until David Miara on the button makes it another 120k, leaving himself around 220k behind. Isaac dwells up for a bit, and we poor updaters are sort of resigned to the fold, when suddenly Baron announces all in! And Miara calls!

Isaac Baron - - expression very stern
David Miara  - - expression absolutely impassive

Board - - wait for it -

Miara's head actually drops to the felt. He looks like he's going to cry. All this to the accompaniment of some unbelievably rowdy cheering etc from Baron's railers."RAAAARRRRR!!!" is what it sounded like. Baron-railer expressions - all a bit like this:



Isaac Baron now on around 1.4 million, we reckon.

Seems like the updaters are being given the run around today. How are you guys fairing?

ps Lee Jones is still around did the mission fail? any noble heroes lost in the heat of battle?

Johnny Lodden is OUT. Plenty of Norwegian railers blocked my view somewhat, so I was unable to catch the full hand, but when managing to peek a look through some random girl's legs, I was able to witness Johnny Lodden calling the all-in of Henrik Gwinner for what looked to be about 225k. As he slid in the individual columns, Johnny kept his eyes peeled on his opponent, awaiting him to reveal his hand. In doing so, each column toppled forward and a domino effect of chips slid into the pot.

To the relief of Lodden, although ideally he would have liked to have seen a small pair, Gwinner showed , meaning he was racing against Johnny's . "Surely he can't win another race," commented a fellow Norwegian from the crowd, clearly hinting that Johnny's luck in those crucial coinflips hadn't been favourable. And it wasn't this time, the board coming to give Henrik the pot and Johnny the door. A calm, composed player at all times, Johnny uncharacteristically expressed how disappointed he was, his whole body sagging dejectedly as the Ace hit the Flop. But that's poker, as they say, and Johnny's out in 17th. Henrik, meanwhile, is the Gwinner and it'll be hard to wipe the Gwin off his face.

Two tables are currently being formed.  Bear with us.

Too busy watching this excellent near-final period...plus we don't have a cohesive plan.  As to the viewing of the hands, the press get a kind of 'inside rail' behind the 'acutal rail' but in front of the 'spectators' rail'.  You see?  It's not too bad actually.  But I am saying that because I have been playing with photoshop for the last half hour while Dana and Snoopy have been standing in it.

I thought we established it was impossible. There's some kind of horrible monster guarding the gates of hell the live feed room.

This is a lie. There is no bear here, unless you count Barry Greenstein of course.

If late in the night, they are still more than 8 players do they continue until have enough players ? or do they stop in example at 4am or other... ?

Im disappointed - Tom Cruise always finds a way. Can we destroy his credibility with clever use of photoshop. If that fails im calling in the airstrike

I think that sort of decision lies in the hands of the Kremster.

Good grief, Johnny runs bad. So many near final tables, it's pretty harsh.

Gotta root for Michael Martin now, he's a nice enough chap.

on EPT Live they said that he seems to be very very very sad...

Mr Eric Liu OUT on the TV table; announcers saying that we're definitely playing down to eight tonight.

Have to say, worst case scenario, as far as your weary updaters are concerned, would be not playing down to eight tonight and having to come back early tomorrow. The thought of an extra two hours' lie in tomorrow is all that's keeping me going. That and the endless tea.
