Sadly not mon ami.

Good luck though, takes a bit of getting used to starting with 400 chips and blinds of 1-2!!

My first thought was, why not just multiply everything by 100 in your head.

Probably a bad plan though, when you decide to raise in the first round saying "I'll make it 300"

You would be amazed how many people do that!!

For Ginger, Ben Grundy is on 32,000

I have just recieved an education in Chinese poker from Ram.

Looks fun for maybe £1 a point!

Apparently $2k a point is not enough, so they doubled it to $4k for the last 4 hands and Erik took a beating. Patrick Antonious won 96k in those last 4 hands!!

Ram was the sole winner though $236,000 up!

[snoopy1239]

c u tomorrow guys.

Bright an early.

I pity the fool who misses out. Pity the fool.



nighty night 

[Longy]

Ooh back to one of faves of the live tourney updates. Spot the ex footballer, so on about 15k is a certain Laurent Charvet. Is it him? Ex Newcastle, Man City and Chelsea (I think)

Its a different world isnt it.....how do you win $236,000 in such a short space of time?  Are there any other intersting big money games going on?

[I KNOW IT]

Anyone know the result of that 10k sit & go?

[El Yortle]

Hachem won it, according to www.pokerstarsblog.com. The full results are not there though, so if anyone does have them I'd be interested.

Next door to this table is a game of Chinese poker. It's scored on a points system, players in the game i saw were Ram Vaswani, Erik Sagstrom and Patrick Antonious. Patrick is learning the game as he goes.....costly at €1,000 a point!

Ram is up about €60,000.

The problem with this is, its day 1!!! Imagine what the stakes will be come day 4!

Is this a skill game or a gambling game?

Do you know if ZeeJustin is playing this event?  Sorry I keep missing pages at a time, because of the professional and speedy updates.   . I don't have time to keep up to date.

Good Luck and excellent job folks

[byronkincaid]

No ZJ here. Anyone know who the american kid in the 10K sng was? I was watching until they got down to 4 then went to bed.
