2nd CHANCE TOURNY MONTE CARLO

[tikay]

But Ken Lennard is even more tetchy than me presumably, as John Juanda's Full House dumps him out of the comp, so five left now. Definitely!

Hi thefog - Much better, sneaked some croissants out of the breakfast room today...

The blinds started at 10k - 20k, 3k ante today, and I don't think they've gone up - Tikay - hear any increase?   The idea is that they're definitely done by the time the Finalists Proper head on over (5pm MC time, 4pm UK time).  But the way these things tend to go, you never really know. Pre-dinner, that's a nice, vague guess.

Adding to Jen's answer - weird this, talking to each other via Forum when we are 20 yards apart! - the levels are, I believe, 30 minutes. And Dave Ulliott is doing OK, sitting very quiet in bioth senses of the word, certainly by his standards.

23 spades - ex Amateur Boxer James Fisher, if I'm not mistaken, did indeed take Devilfish, & plenty of others, apart in the Midland Masters 2 years ago. A phenonomal performance by the lad who demolishes Final Tables in Cardiff & Swansea on a regular basis, I'm told. He has fingers thicker than my forearms, but is a gentle giant, & I like him a lot. I'd like him more if he were not Welsh.

sealey_son - sorry, but I've had to delete your last post. We are short of Moderators today, & I am flat out busy here, so no time to explain, but I'll explain later. Sorry mate, no offence intended, but you can't do that on blonde.

tikay my dad was telling me tht it was hard to get anything to eat because evry body speaks french  

[Sealey_son]

sry tikay didnt know just saw it last night because i bet united to beat villareal and just happened to see pauls name at poker

[tikay]

Yes, and the French are very rude, and I DO mean rude, but it's still a beautiful place.

Now, Jen spoke earlier about the lighting rig for the TV table, this gives you some idea of it, & also the grandeur of the room. This is one of EIGHT such rooms in this building.

The Devilfish has claimed two smallish pots in a row with preflop raises, the second one (and all-in) dwelt about rather seriously by Antonio and then given to him.

A 75,000 raise of John Juanda's was just picked up by the Magician with an all-in preflop re-raise, too.  That's it for the action.  But the other Finalists are making an appearance - I spotted ActionJack, Marc Goodwin and Kenna James sidling up to the ring.

Kenna James incidentally is sporting the same colour (pillarbox red) shirt as fellow American Jesse Jones, albeit with a fab black cowboy hat (pic if you can!!).  They are sure to stand out on their respective tables.

[tikay]

Very little see-able action at the Final Table, Raise, Dwelll, Pass, Raise, Dwell, pass, rinse repeat.

So here's a view out of the window by which I sit. That blue stuff is the sea, The Mediterranean I think.
