[Geschlossen] EPT Vilamoura mit Team PokerStrategy.com - Live Ticker

goooooooooo

jo gl undso

Wadup?

I finally got my press pass and I was able to get into the casino. For that, I had to go through the backdoor, through the basement with the electricity panels, some random old stuff and a lot of dust. I know this sounds like a scenario from a bad horror movie but I'm not even exaggerating.

I have a lot of things to tell you guys but to get the first update up already, I'll just round it up now. The tournament director just (as in: 10 seconds ago) announced the shuffle up and deal after an endless speech about mostly boring stuff.

More info soon!

ja die homofürsten von der intelligenten seite berichten ja diesmal nicht, werd ich hier ab und zu reinschauen

hat jemand schon infos wer so an ps-membern am start ist?

So, for those of you that don't know yet, we're not allowed to take any pictures here inside the casino. It's a real shame, because some of our players are looking ridiculously hot today. I'll try to keep the reporting as interesting as possible without the use of visual material.

The position of the press is really cool though. We're sitting on a stage about 2 meters above the poker tables. This really gives us an awesome overview on the room and I think it will be really easy to follow how everyone is doing from here.

PokerStrategy members playing today: Allanon, Nazgul, Jan and probably more to come.

I recognized Guillaume de la Gorce who ran pretty deep in Marrakech.
Didn't really pay attention to the others.

Yay new livetickaments

Although it's a shame you're not allowed to take any pictures, there were some really great ones last time I followed you.

Is it just for privacy reasons, or because of TV-coverage or what?

From what I've heard, it's because of Portugal rules.
You can never take pictures or videos during a poker tournamen here.
I'm pretty sure there won't be a live stream as well.

Nazgul is down to 18k.
He cold 4bet with KK and got 5bet shoved and folded.
He told me that in the next level he would've gone broke but now it was still ok to fold.
The other guy didn't tell him what he had though but Tim made sure that he overheared him saying he had KK.

Allanon still seems break even.

Jan is up to about 27k.
Just saw him call an openraise to 500 (blinds 75-150) on the big blind.

Flop came: 9:h2:s6:s and Jan check/called the cbet.

Turn and river were: 4:h7:c and it was checked down.

Jan showed AQo and the other guy mucked.

Ich war im apirl bei den Unibet Open in Vilamoura.Im gleichen Casino usw.

Da gab es noch keine Probleme mit Fotos etc.
Wundert mich echt...

What does Tim wear today? Can you draw a picture of him in paint?

I have 131 names on the list but they are still taking registrations for today. A lot of players switched to Day 1b so we expect a much larger field tomorrow.

Thank you pokerstars lady!

Break now, cya after!
