dewolfe and shaun deeb on one table hes in for a rough ride.
Deeb is a super aggresive internet player who multitables anything up to 32 games at once online. his biggest cash is no more than $13k but his sheer volume of tournaments has netted him $400k in little over 12 months. plus he also claims to have won millions at cash tables, wolfe obviously needs no introduction.
mr carter if i was a religious man id pray for u, but as im not ill just say

                                           Goodluck

Easy Does It
Of the two tables remaining downstairs in the card room of the Empire Casino, one of them is noticeably more evenly balanced in chips than the other. Shortstacks like Barny Boatman and Christian Toboc might be under the shadow of Antonius to the back of the room, but the table at the front has no towers, as yet. Perhaps in the last half hour before dinner it might change, but for the moment there aren"t a whole lot of hands going very far at all. Here it is:

Daniel Zink -- 32,000
Tino Lechich -- 57,500
Jari Kylmala -- 15,400
Bob Willis -- 29,900
Matthew Carter -- 44,400
Mats Gavatin -- 47,500
Tony G -- 17,000
Dan Shak -- 57,000
Isabelle Mercier -- 56,800

Deebs a  very good player and probably not many people have heard of him, he won the points leaderboard on stars by multitabling 22 dollar 180 player sit n gos with a lot of success. Junglens another top online player who did in the recent EPT event that our fellow APATer had success in

Matt continues to hang on in there.....this from the pokernews.com live update:


Carter Doubles Through

Matthew Carter, whose chips have been in and out more than the hokey pokey, is now on 57,500 after doubling up off Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke.

It was a pretty simple affair - although I"m not 100% on the pre-flop action - Jimmy Fricke raising it up under the gun before finding action from Carter on the small blind. The chips (what was left of them) went in on a , Carter"s  holding up against Fricke"s  on the  turn and  river.

Now that is a table and half! Imagine playing at the same table as Gus Hansen at any point, never mind when he"s a massive chip leader!  Throw in Patrik who just happens to be 2nd in chips and some guy called Daniel Negreanu and that is an unenviable task! Though I"d still give my left arm to be in Matt's situation though! All the very best Matt.
