Amsterdam Master Classics, Day Two Live Update

[Djinn]

Erich Kollman is out in 26th.  His  ran into Torstein Iversen's  .

Then I got thrown out again.

[tikay]

Jen is STEAMING, a sight to behold......

She got thrown out for the 4th time, she's nothing if not brave & persistent. This time she reasoned with Mr Bouncer Man.

"It's Press only".

"But i am Press".

"Yes, but if we let all the press in, there would be loads of you".

"But there are NO Press in here now"........

"No, because we have asked you all to leave".......

"Why is that?"

"Because Press are not allowed in".

That's cleared THAT up then.

Just to reiterate, we did get full permission, well in advance, as we always do.

[Djinn]

Pippa Flanders is OUT in 25th.  Her  was up against  which spiked a nine on the river to send her out with a shrug.  All credit to Adele in the pit who is relaying details of all the main hands to me as I loiter by the entrance.

Sverre doubles up Smits with   Ah vs as the Jack comes up, leaving him down at 60,000 and Smits up to 45,000.

[Djinn]

Rhino Mathis (what a great name) doubles up off Michael Andersson with AK vs A7.  23 players remain, I am off to find out the latest casualty.

[TightEnd]

I bet Jen steamed up is a right sight to behold..........

that's one brave bouncer


p.s Come on Tikay, a bit of chivalry, you distract the bugger while she gets in unnoticed

[tikay]

Jen has asked me to point out that she is NOT steaming. I think she is steaming because I said she was steaming....... Anyone for tea?

OK, news of another exit.

[Robert HM]

You'll get yourself a campaign medal at this rate Jen.

"For Valour in the face of bouncers"

[tikay]

Ben Roberts and Torsten Iverson clash.

Ben had  As , Torsten, remarkably, has  , the flop comes.....

 

Ben walks into the trap, the turn and river are   

Ben Roberts, a true gent, is OUT. I believe he gives his nationality as "Persian", not something you hear often these  days.

[tikay]

Whahoo, Jen has somehow sneaked through the barricades & got some approximate chip counts, Bravo that lady!

She is inputting now, give her a mo.

[Djinn]

Rough counts from table 23:

Torstein Iversen   270,000
Julian Thew        210,000
Michael Andersson 160,000
Josef Kollarits        30,000
Rino Mathis         32,000
Frank Sinopoli       60,000
Vlado                  64,000 (after his double through a minute ago)

[tikay]

Josef Kollarits gets crippled by Vlado Sevo, Josef with  , and Vlado with  , on a board of 

Josef is now in the Red Zone, with 30k.

[bobby1]

Go on Julian!!!!

[Djinn]

Josef Kollarits is OUT in 23rd, running a rather desperate A8 into Rino Mathis' JJ which flopped quads.  A dramatic end to the Day One chip leader.  I was wrong about the 'h' in Rino.  Sorry.
