Amsterdam Master Classics, Day Two Live Update

[RED-DOG]

Was it the Americans that came up with that bizarre pair of words "inflammable" & "flammable" - both of which mean the same thing?

Apparently, some of them think   and   are the same thing too

[ifm]

Yeah, but the thing is Red, Stu can play......

Seriously, here's the man himself. A top, top man - read his Profile.

Am i confusing him with someone else??

Thats not the Stuart Fox I know

Can you clarify for me Tikay??!

The pic is of RED DOG, he was reffering to the Stuart Fox we know though (from Birmingham)

[Djinn]

Hoody-wearing youngster Thomas Middleton just took out Noah Boeken, who wasn't exactly short stacked.  I missed the detail, as Thomas was counting his 130,000 when I got there.

Other counts:

Julian Thew  85,000
Isabelle Mercier  40,000
Torstein Iversen 120,000
William Thorson   41,000
Ville Wahlbeck    19,000

[Djinn]

Blinds are now at the rather odd 500 - 1,500 ante 300.  The blind posters are getting a bit edgy now - I saw three bb re-raises take pots from late position raisers in the five minutes I spent wandering through the pit last time.

unlucky red fox

now all support must goto phillipa flanders and foxy

[Djinn]

Players who've decreased in chips a little over the last blind level (they're now 1k - 2k ante 400):

Stuart Fox       65,000
Julian Thew     75,000
Sverre Sundbo  45,000
Jin Cai Lin         20,000
Steve Jelinek    52,000

And the increasers:
Pippa Flanders   61,000
Chicken Joe     110,000
Isabelle Mercier  60,000

About the same:
Jim Reid        48,000
Ville Wahlbeck  24,000

[I KNOW IT]

Chicken Joe with 110k will definately have a good chance, got a good game for the big 1's.

[Ironside]

at this rate we might get a final table full of blondites


come on the blondes

[tikay]

Thewy clashes with Jin Cai Lin. Jin was down to 20k, and is in the SB, Thewy in the BB.

Jin makes up, Thewy checks. We see this flop......

 

Jin checks, Thewy bets 10k, Jin moves all-in for 20k or so, Thewy beats him into the pot & has his cards on their back all in one movement.

Jin shows  , Thewy shows  .

Turn brings the  , river is the  Ah

Next case!

as Milky Bar Kid says, Thewy likes to go in with the worst of it, & come out with the best of it. He is VERY focused today. Mrs Thew has arrived today, & he wants to impress methinks. Quite right too.

[tikay]

And here's a beautifully characteristic Bruno Fituoissi play.

Matey Boy, young gun, in mid-position, makes it 10k to go, Bruno, on the Button, thinks awhile, stares the young man down for fully 30 seconds, then calls.

Flop comes..... As

Young Gun bets 10k quickly.

Bruno looks at him. Hard. For about 3 minutes. Kid is pooing himself, he's sweating, he's shaking, he's melting, poor lad.

Bruno fires in 25k. Kid passes.

Marcel says to Bruno "9-10 of Hearts Bruno?". Bruno smiles. "Nope, 4 aces".......

Priceless to watch these guys, Bruno has SUCH table presence.

Men against boys.

[Djinn]

Special SportingOdds-shirt wearing Ken Gunning had gotten dangerously low a few minutes ago, and doubled up off the imposing Bruno Fitoussi with (I think it was) K7.  He hit a King on the flop and another on the river putting Bruno's 78 in bad shape.  But since that very short moment, he's been staying afloat and now has a reasonable 31,000.

[ariston]

Thewy and Isa into the final please, have a word with the dealers Jenn and make sure they have their orders to look after these 2.

[Djinn]

Just saw Marcel Luske take out the 50k+ stack sat to his right with an  Ah (Marcel) vs  (other guy) race.  The  came on the flop and he's almost doubled up.  So the two big stacks, Marcel and Bruno, are yet to be involved in a major confrontation, but I might just go stand there and watch just in case.

[Jim R]

Just gave my chips away with two eights I am now going to get blind drunk ,Tony tell Thewey this one has his name on it.

[RED-DOG]

I am now going to get blind drunk

I notice he never gets dumb drunk
