£1500 European Poker Classic at the Vic - LIVE UPDATE DAY1A

[Djinn]

Speak of the devil... Rumit just appeared in the Upper Level holding 40,000 in chips (just).  He's apparently got a story about a "disgusting coup" in which Simon Nowab just trebled up to 35,000... sounds interesting - I'm off, notebook at the ready.

Wow, plenty of traffic on here tonight Jen & Ben, especially as we are only 3 hours into a 4 day jobbie. Well done!

[Milkybarkid]

Good luck to the Pommo, Dubai and Gryko. We had an interesting night out on the champagne last night ;-)

I am glad i couldn't play this weekend as i am still hungover!

hi guys im back after a good feast in good old Maccy D's!

Just been sent downstairs to check on RED-DOG only to find hes upstairs but managed to catch a glimpse of a fascinating hand involving Simon Nowab.

mateyboy1 limped utg and Simon raise 3 x bb to 1800 on the button with AA.

mateyboy2 in the sb decided to smooth call.

the flop came a non threatening 822 and the matey2 in the sb decided to push all in as first to act. mateyboy1 UTG then moved all in and Simon called without hesitation.

Matey1 88
Matey2 99
Simon AA

Turn A(!!!!!!!)
River 7

and simon trebles through to 36k...he looks very relieved and happy at the same time!

John Kabbaj is sitting steady with 15k and Rumit has 40k

we are down to 9 tables at the moment.

Jen is itching to get at the laptop so i best hand it over,

Ben

p.s Go On Red!

I'm doing just fine thank you Mrs Red.

I'm very pleased to hear that my little sugarhoneypie!!!

Mrs. Red - your Mr. is down to around 5,000 after losing a race with  against  .  He gave me a "that's just the way it goes" shrug, and doesn't look like it's shaken him.

Other counts from the floor:

Mickey Wernick     9,000
Simon Zach         12,250
Karl Mahrenholz     4,400
Bruce Atkinson     30,350
Tony Bloom         12,700
Roland de Wolfe   13,500
Peter Davidsen      9,500
El Blondie             12,200
Skalie                   15,600
Mike Magee           7,000
Marc Goodwin       16,600  ( who pointed out that my shirt was rattily poking out the back, which I think is rather ungentlemanly   )

[Mrs RED-DOG]

Oh dear!

Thanks Jen

[Royal Flush]

Just got online, good luck to blonde, and the update team.

Hope you recovered Jen!! Jacko and Steve are still here!

[Djinn]

****Break****

I think El Blondie has a pile of shirts, one of which will surely fit Ben to a T - it would be good to get him in blonde uniform... He's also assured us that tomorrow and thenceforward there will be two Vodafone cards up and bleeping so our little queue of two for my laptop will be gone.

I am OK - got that 5:10 train and back in London by half six... fresh as a daisy.  A slightly wilted daisy.  Say Hi to your floorsleeping MMMs.  And thank Ginger again for the chilli.

[Djinn]

Dave Colclough brings a Story as requested from his table (this is in return for my ipod which he says is rather shockingly filled with rude songs.  I did warn him) -

There's a misdeal on the last hand before the break.  The big blind decides to have a peek and flips in disgust.  He soon changed his tune when El Blondie's button got shown!  From annoyed to relieved in one easy step...


Play is on again.  Blinds 300 - 600.

Hiya all , top reporting.

Good luck to the Betfair/Blonde mob... Can someone pass onto Dubai that our golf tip is 2 under at the end of the first round . Could be a decent little 200/1 shot
