Amsterdam Master Classics Live Update, THE FINAL

[tikay]

Meanwhile, in that weird way life has of slamming one door in your face, only to open another that leads to happiness, word comes through via The Camel that El Blondie is up with the Chip Leaders in tonights €300 rebuy.

So, like the turncoats we are, it's "come on Dave".....!

For the Mad Yank......

please

It looks like Jan Sorensen might be the leader now after an odd hand with Marcel Luske - Marcel called a raise preflop, then 100k on the  Ah flop, 200k on the  turn, and passed when Jan moved all-in on the  river, showing  .

Chip counts (estimates only off the monitors):

Jan Sorensen    1,000,000
Marcel Luske       550,000
Thomas Middleton  600,000
Patrick Bueno       450,000

 TK heres a comment on something we both didnt see Marcel going to check its the same move carlos mrtenson makes only he picks up chips,reaction from opponent they achieve the same thing  god there clever buggers  as my dad used to say.

WOO HOO my first red card.......

Im more used to a 15 yard penalty for a "personal foul"

[Djinn]

The blinds are now going to 20k - 40k with a 5k ante.  As I came back to report this (the only real action on the table has been Patrick Bueno moving in over the top of Marcel's 120k raise and taking it) Marcel somehow went OUT in 4th!!

I will ask around for the detail....  I imagine the home crowd are a bit disappointed that he's only won €85,800

[tikay]

Mad Yank - I'm putting you on a "No Speak" penalty for 30 minutes. That'll hurt.

I've just gone back to the Hotel with Amanda & Julian, he's OK. Taxi early tomorrow morning to the Airport, and it all starts again at Blackpool next week.

Marcel is OUT -

After his stack was hurt in the last two reported hands he moved in with his 160k on the big blind with Q3.  Jan Sorensen woke up with pocket Jacks, however, and they were good.

The 30+ large will make it feel ok in the morning his time will come, the game he played on thursday was just the dogs do das.

[Djinn]

The last three players all look like they have pretty big stacks of pink and green chips (or, peach and mint, to give you an idea of their pastel gloriousness) so I have to guess that Jan Sorensen has the chip lead with around 1.25 million chips.

[MadYank]

GN Jen have fun with the end. Great Job u and Tikay!

Im off to do my proverbials at the Gutshot......

[Djinn]

Have a nice time doing those Yank...

Update courtesy of Sverre now - the final three players have had a chat in the break, the outcome of which was that they'd all take €267,000(!) and play on for €124,000.  Looks like all the 'no-deal'-ers are out already.

[tikay]

And in the €300, it appears that our Dave is leading the field, with around 80k.

And Nick Gibson, aka Nottinghm Nick, has  been joined by the delightful Anna, aka Maid Marion. Nick is not far behind Dave, so that'd make an interesting heads-up duel.

Dave WAS due to fly home in the morning. Let's hope he has to cancel that early flight to play the Final.
