Amsterdam Masterclassics - DAY 3 - Live Update (Interactive)

[Djinn]

Over on the TV table (the surroundings of which look like this - marvellous) Sasa Biorac is one of those unfortunate stacks struggling around breaking six figures at the moment - he just shoved all-in for around 75k preflop just now over the 24k preflop raise of Eric Larcheveque.  He declined to call.  Biorac is the face peering out in the background next to behatted Tristan McDonald.

Get thrown back in then...


thats a challenge for you!

Actually, to add insult to injury, the railers I"ve been elbowing while trying to see anything at all have been incredulously asking me why I don"t just cross the rope and view the table from there. It"s as if they think that the press pass around my neck entitles me to anything other than putting my laptop on a table in the press room.

[Djinn]

Not sure if we"ve snapped this guy much - it"s Mr. Eidsvig, whose stack looks like it"s hit the mid 300ks range.

Play has slowed to a crawl.  There have been three all-in moves in the last half hour, none called.  But one was just now!  

This gent pictured being microphonally adjusted and Noah Boeken managed to get it in preflop, one with  tc th and the other with  td jd.

Flop:   js  ("Oooh," go the crowd)
Turn:   ("Diamonds?" ask the crowd)
River:  kc

Chop-chop.

A huge and fascinating hand just developed in which Eric Larcheveque eliminated Simon Ravnsbaek.

Limpathon, unusually, with four players seeing a flop of  tc :: .  Short stacked Martin pushed, and Eric shoved over the top.  We thought it was going to progress to "on their backs" sharpish - but no - over to Tristan McDonald who looked like his head was going to explode.

The full works - he stands up, removes his cap, repeatedly ruffles his hair, stares so intently at Larcheveque that I half expected lasers to come out of his eyes, asks, "Do you have a flush?", actually wrings his hands, counts and recounts his chips, and then finally passes.  He showed his neighbours his hand.  We"ll come to that later.

SO: Martin shows  ts , in horrific shape against Eric"s  ac .  The turn and river did nothing, we lost our 15th place player (€23,000).

McDonald had passed   .

Got a couple of chip counts during the break - afraid there are only a few, owing to the tables now being balanced so I don"t know where anyone is any more, and no-one has left their ID by their stacks.

Partial as they are:

Eidsvig -- 500k
Tony Bloom -- 390k
Michael Martin -- 746k
Sevevi -- 170k

Michael says, "Hi, mom!" Here he is counting that giant stack (which suddenly doesn"t look so huge, but it"s because they"ve finally got rid of the 100 chips), and with Brandon Schaefer.

[danafish]

Can anyone except us see the Omen line over Brandon Schaefer? Hope he"s going to be ok...

[FlyingPig73]

Ha-ha.... Can see it now you pointed it out...

Just like the priest with the crows and the truck...Scary!

Thanks! It"s actually been 3 days, although it feels like about a month right now. Join us tomorrow too, won"t you? I think we"re starting around 4 or 5pm GMT.

The rest of you, you"re not going anywhere!

De La Gorce is OUT in 14th place, nabbing himself a tasty €23,000.

And here is Mr De La Gorce, appeared in the press room to chat to the French updaters.

And after he realised I was taking his photo. Bless.

If we see him again tonight we"ll pass on the message. He"s also a pretty good friend to the updaters - apparently he offered to let Jen stand on his shoulders so she could see the tables...
