PokerStars EPT, Deauville - Day 2

[Junior Senior]

sorry - i meant to say......

as long as they do this for this tournament only its a nice idea but if they did it for EVERY EPT then it wouldn't be fair or random but as a ONE OFF i think its good.

but just saw Tikay has said somethin similar whilst i was typing - oh well

[dalzini]

Mickey's fan base at Blue Square would like to know what the legend listens to on his ipod please?

I reckon it is Chaka Demus and Pliers, followed by a bit of Snoop Dogg

How did Willie Tann go from 2k to 60k in an hour?, someone asks.

When Willie gets on a roll, he's well-nigh unplayable, especially, as yesterday, when he is against youngsters. The kids with their hoodies & Baseball Caps on backwards were giving it the sour faced dwells & growls, "4k to go", & Willie just sat there giggling, "don't do it Son, don't do it", & when they eventuaally puffed out their chests & bet into Willie, he'd just say "OK, 4k to go, I make it 35k, how you like that eh, how you like that? You don't wanna mess with me, now do you?".....

Wonderful stuff!

Good morning from the United States, everyone! (It's 7:40 am here in the Central Time Zone right now.)

I'm still rooting strong for Isabelle Mercier and Jen Mason -- Isabelle because I know her, and Jen because I FEEL like I know her after following her updates at past events. I want to see BOTH at the final table.

I'm not a fan of the alphabetical table draws. Like Tikay said, you can do it ONCE. It's not a problem today (although I don't like having Isabelle & Jen seated NEXT to each other), but if it's repeated, it'll take away some of the integrity of the game.

We've occasionally had strange table draws here in the States too, including one casino (can't remember which one) that did a purely alphabetical draw like this one.

Most of the non-random table draws we've had were based on chip counts -- something like the top eight players were all in seat 5 (if there were eight table remaining), and the bottom eight players were all in seat 4. And it would be seeded in that fashion. It's not random in the usual sense, but it does give extra advantage to the larger stacks and extra disadvantage to the smaller stacks. And it guarantees you won't have the two chip leaders next to each other at the start of the day, and every short stack will have to face at least one deep stack.

Anyway, I hope Table 16 breaks early so Isabelle and Jen can go about the business of taking everyone ELSE's chips.  

I have an article to finish writing and a few meetings scheduled, but if you keep up the great reporting (and I'm sure you will), I'll check in as often as I can today.

Jon, what's the present points total on the Unusual Suspects now?

What points are available?

1.     John    109 
2.    James    96
3.    Jen    95

There is still 9 points for the 2nd suspect that finishes, and 12 for the last one in. There is also still the heads up matches still to come.

[Jamier-Host]

John is now on 109 points.

James and Jen are on 96 and 95 points respectively.

However there are 12 points and 9 points still up for grabs in this event depending on who lasts longer - plus bonus points for a money/final table finish.

Following that they still have a few heads up games to play against one another.

You're right grandad, Mr Tann sure is a legend...!

Would love to be there playing (if not, then watching), but the excellent coverage here more than makes up for it...!

Keep up the good work...  

[JP]

Good Luck to all left in especially Jen and Flushy.

[Ironside]

how many points will jen get when she wins this comp?

[Ginger]

Jon/Jamie,

I know about the final table bonus, but how do the points work for money finishes? I can't seem to find it on the site.

Thanks

Jane x

EDIT: it's ok, just found it

willie is fantasic to watch or play when hes hitting, in monte carlo last year I got the full extended version of "ariston, you dont want to be betting here,  dont do it etc" . Even after I flopped the nuts I still didn't want to bet into him lol

Mr Fougeron, who has not shown himself to be a Gentlemsan who wins with much decorum, being a table-banger & clapper, has 39,900 I believe.

Mr CardPlayerBJ - Morning, thank you for your undying support, I am actually at right next to Rolf Slotboom. Jen next to Isabelle? It's not a problem to Jen, it's really not. I expect Isa to try & pinch Jen's blinds, but I am afraid Jen is tougher than most players think, & it might get dirty, but Jen is in great heart, & she will enjoy it win or lose. We have a pic of Jen & Isabelle, sat next to each other, ready to go up shortly. The Big Dicks on Jen's table yesterday kept looking at the diminutive Jen & trying to steal pots off her, & she handled them all with aplomb, on one occasion calling a big River bet with bottom pair!

The Alpha draw? It's cool, just this once, there is not a problem. Quite interesting, actually.
