This event will be starting soon.
Many of our guys will be playing here, so stay tuned for the live updates.
It seems like only 3 of our players are playing today, will go check again after this.
MikaPaasonen
Nazgul
Thorsten77
BongBob is taking a break today, and don't think Bokkie will be playing Pot Limit.
Surprisingly few players in this event. Only 600 or so in the field at the moment.
First chip update:
blinds are 25/50 now
MikaPaasonen 6k
Thorsten77 5.5k
Nazgul 4k
Saw MikaPaasonen take down a nice pot vs French winamax pro Davidi Kitai
One player opens, Mika 3-bets, Kitai calls.
Flop Q 3 2
Mika bets, Kitai calls
Turn 4, Mika bets 1.5k into a roughly 2k pot. Kitai open folds KK, Mika shows him JTo
Kitai stands up and leaves the room, wonder if he's on tilt.
Another player on the table asked "You guys played together before? He must think you're a nit"
Nazgul had already lost half his stack early on, but is back in business after 2 nice hands. He flopped bottom set in a 5 way limped pot, and always made top two pair
Players just finished a 20 minute break.
Blinds up to 50/100 now.
Nazgul 7k
MikaPaasonen 8.5k
Thorsten77 busto
Thorsten busted not long after the break.
On a flop of T 5 5 with a flush draw, Thorsten77, put in most of his chip.
Turn was another T, they go all in, and villain shows QTo, for a 2 outer hit on the turn.
Apparently, Nazgul didn't hit those two big hands I reported. He was just using me to give off false info to his opponents.
He was up to 9k after a big double up, and is now at 7k after bet folding another big one on the river.
In the double up, he got it in, in a 3-bet pot with a Gutshot+Flush draw and pair on the turn, and hit trips on the river. Villain had AA.
The he folded a flush on the river, after an old guy 3-bet him. After chatting with the old guy, his opponent revealed that he had top full house with AA. So, good fold for Nazgul. Nazgul dodges bullets, baby!
In other news, Thorsten77 is running good in the side SnG/Sats. He chopped a SnG heads-up and also chopped a Main event Sat 4-ways yesterday.
The field also just got much "tougher" as"The best hold'em player in the world" Phil Hellmuth, has decided to grace the event with his royal presence.
Chip counts: Blinds 75/150
MikaPaasonen 15k
Nazgul 7k
Nazgul: "Rollercoaster again, as usual"
MikaPaasonen won two big pots:
In the first, UTG (young kid with big headphones) raise, Mika 3-bets with J2s, villain calls.
Flop KKJ, both check
Turn J villain bets 700, Mika calls
River blanks, villain bets 1.8k, Mika calls
In the second, villain raised, Mika 3-bets to 575, villain calls.
Flop J 4 4 with flushdraw villain checks, Mika makes a tiny 375 bet, villain calls
Turn 6 check, Mika bets 1,075, villain calls
River 7 completing the flush, villain checks, Mika puts in 2,800, villain calls.
One hand later, villain was busto too.

Nazgul:"pretty standard"
Mika lost a big hand to Davidi Kitai, it was worth 15k chips.
