£1500 European Poker Classic at the Vic - LIVE UPDATE DAY TWO PROPER

[Sunday8pm]

Just heard the cardroom manager say "blinds up in 2 minutes"

Next level is 600/1200 with a running ante of 75..

Averaage stack is a fraction over 40,000

and there are 63 players left...

So the average stack has almost 35 BB's then.........

What was being said about the structure?

WEll funnily enough when i dashed off downstairs to get the final chip counts late last night, the cardroom geezers were talking about changing the structure slightly today, bring the levels back down to 500/1000 and introduce a 90 miniute clock. They reset the blinds, but didn't chaange the clock..

I havent heard any grumbles about the structure from the players today, but im sure as soon as players start dropping fast, there will be a few grumpy people floating around.

Devilfissh yesterday was furious about the structure inserting one or two 4 letter 'F' words during each sentence. I think i got aa rough idea of his opionion on it to say the least!

sugar afficionado?

Angelo 'Le Sucre' Benainou always places a couple of lumps of sugar next to his chips when he plays. If he can't get any lumps, he empties a bag of sugar onto the table.  Sweet guy.

AND they've streeeetched the levels to 90 minutes now!  I honestly haven't the foggiest what's going on.  All I know is that the little guys who made a Brave Last Stand last night, as well as the big chip leaders, have grounds for being a bit grumpy.

Having said that, after all the complaints about structure, there won't be any from here on in.  But the question remains of why Day Two should get all this lovely time and repeated blind level when Day One were whinging remains.

David Gent is OUT -

Pushing his  all-in under the gun for 14,000, he (rather surprisingly) found a caller with  .  All well and good, until the Jack popped out and sent him home.  Unlucky end to the Bluesquare qualifier's run there (bokked him Jon!)

How is Colin Kennedy getting on please ?

I have to say, there is only a Robert Kennedy on the list, but if you mean the white-haired gentleman I took a photo of last night, he has 34,000.

Nicely put Jen.

But in that Post that had a pic of Pippa Flanders, who I consistntly say is argubly as good, if not better than Tim, you said you'd had the "confusies". The WHAT? I dunno. Our education system has much to answer for.....

[Djinn]

Man In Black Jim Kerrigan, who's just been moved off Dave's table.  I wonder if he's got one of those memory-erasing devices like in the movie.

Just caught up with the updates. Great work as usual, Jen,  and co! Thanks.

[Jamier-Host]

That Jon Raab's a lazy bugger isn't he? 

I may well see you all later on.  Planning to play the £100 at the Gutshot but not likely to last too long so will head to the Vic after!

Say good luck to Keith from me.

Is Kevin O'Leary still in?

They are one and the same thank you Jen, he is actually R.C. Kennedy, Colin to his friends but Robert to the Vic
