Hi guys,
The Live Ticker on location from Barcelona has now officially started. In this thread we will be providing live updates non stop from the EPT Barcelona Main Event. If you want to follow PokerStrategy.com's players directly then keep looking here.
If you have any questions you'd like to ask then don't hold back! We'll try to answer them best we can.
We apologize for doing the live update in English, my German doesn't allow me to do it in German.
Enjoy!
The first guy already busted from the event. Second hand he went all in with AA vs KK and AA lost. Standard ♦
Allanon is playing at table 19 at the moment.
I also spotted Fabstinho and Bagger0405

Starting stacks were 30k. Currently Allanon is up to 40k. I will talk in the break with him to tell you how he got his chips.
Fabstinho is about same as he started with.
Holger Kanisch aka Black Member Tonding is sitting one seat on the left of Fabsthino. Poor Fabi ♦ Let's hope they will still be friends after today.
210 players started playing at day 1A.
Pokerstars Pro's who are playing include Sebastian Ruthenberg, Noah Boeken, Jason Mercier, William Thorson, Johnny Lodden and Katja Thater.
I know how most of these people look but I walked past the tables like 3 times and I almost didn't find any of the pro's.
We do have some photographs already though, they're being uploaded right now.
UTG opens, some random guy shoves and the big blind folded sneakily. UTG is waiting for like four minutes, because he thought the big blind was still tanking. Then clock was called on him, but he didn't hear it. Then the dealer says you have ten seconds and he goes like what?! Well I call cuz I have aces.
They held btw

robbie, you should shave your neck! got nothing to say against beards, but it would look way better if its like in your face only. sorry to mention this here in an internet forum, whilst I didnt put any pictures from me up (tbh, I probably look like some1 for the barbershop too).
looking forward to read your live ticker! guess it will be awesome, just like that one from the WSOP.

wie ich wieder lust bekomme turniere zu spielen wenn ich die bilder sehe....gleich mal auf full tilt umschauen ^^
Thanks guys. I hope it will become more interesting as the day advances.
Starting stack was 30k and blind level 50/100. So everyone started with 300bb, which is quite deep for a tournament. The blind levels go up each hour, but they don't double. They went from 50/100 to 75/150 to 100/200. So even now everyone would have 150bb. That makes play a bit slow, as there are very few exciting all-ins
