PokerStars EPT, Deauville - Day 2

[jbsc7769]

Julians' stack seems unusually static. Can someone nudge him to make sure he is awake. He was never like this before he used to dress like "Dr Who"....

Jen has now been moved and is seated to Mickey's right. She has 71k to Mickey's 25K.  To Mockey's left is Bambos and also on the table is Roy Brindley.

Mickey pulled Roy up for saying sorry to someone he knocked out when holding Ace rag and hitting his ace on the turn versus the victim's pocket queens. Jen is now in his vacated seat.

Awight Raaby, its Daren from the Square here, keep up the awesome reports

Come on Micky the Legend, my respect has tripled after he told Roy off, nothing worse than an insincere 'sorry'. By the way where the heck has Brindley been anyway, I havent heard him in a single report until now...

Hi Daren, thanks. Will keep em coming.  I need some food badly though.

The "Only Three Raises" rule in no-limit also showed up at the Bicycle Casino in late August -- a World Poker Tour event. It was a casino-specific rule at the Bicycle, and they normally enforced it in their local tournaments. But with the traveling pros there for the WPT, it caused a bit of a stink. (The rule was the same as the one mentioned here.)

Most players still hope for the day when poker can have a truly uniform set of rules -- even including things like "F-Bomb" penalties. (And NOBODY seems to like that rule!) But to this point, the rules up to the televised final tables are dictated by the local casinos, rather than the World Poker Tour. (Or, it appears, the European Poker Tour.)

Edit -- The World Series of Poker events (including the year-round circuit events) are much more uniform, because everything has been "centralized" by Harrah's, with traveling tournament staff. Unfortunately, they're the ones with the "F-Bomb" rule.

Oh, and for those who aren't aware, last year's WSOP Tournament Director Johnny Grooms will NOT be returning this year. Without going into the gory details, he has parted ways with Harrah's, and those of us in the media firmly support Mr. Grooms, who is one of the best in the business.
