Nazguls sick spot...
Bongbob doubled up. AQ vs AJ.\
Morgoth is pretty short as well.
It seems almost everyone is still in but most of them are in trouble.
Jan has dropped back to 90k
Yoghi has left the field.
Guess who just dreschered?
Allanon went all in with a nutflushdraw&gutshot against a set and won.
He now has about 100k.
And another Drescher for Team PokerStrategy.com
Trader called a CO openraise on the BTN with KQo.
Flop came: KQ7
Villain bets more than pot, Trader raises, villain calls
Turn: K
Money goes in
Villain had QQ
Trader now has about 165k
Largest stack reported by pokerstars: 145k
Players are on break now but I can't seem to find any of them.
One more hour of play now.
Thanks for all the great reporting, but... could you explain what does Drescher mean to non-german speaking part of community?

Oh yeah, I forgot.Yoghi lost a big pot losing overpair to a straightflush.
Pretty sick hand, The board was paired as well so would've been sick if Yoghi would've had a full house.
He only had a few bb left then but managed to double up again with A5.Bongbob is in difficulties as well. he only has about 8k left.
Blinds are now 400/800 with a 75 ante.
Doubled again with AA to like 16-17k. Folded the small blind then had AJ, guy who busted me isolated somebody from MP3, I shoved for ~5x his raise and he called with JTss and I had AsJc.
Flop was TT5 so I was out
Hand where I lost a 65k pot went like this:
I raise preflop with QdQx, 1 coldcaller and the BB also called
Flop Jx8d7d, BB checks I bet lik 6/10 pot coldcaller folds, BB c/r I shove after some thinking. He has T8dd, turn 9c river 9d so he hits his straight flush
I'm having a chat with Sergio Castelluccio who has just arrived in London.
He cashed in Barcelona as well and he's an Italian PokerStrategy player. He plays 2kNL online and has now decided he want to win some live tournament poker ♦.
Gonna upload some final pictures now.





I can't find him anymore so I don't know if he's still in.

Exactly my thoughts ♦
I thought someone wouldn't get it but since there are so few reactions here, I though I'd let you ask first. ♦
It's basically like this:
Allanon -> Daniel Drescher -> Box -> To Drescher is to get lucky
Anyway I've been here for an hour but internet didn't want to work today.
It's up now. Pokernoob is on table 29 together with Timoshenko. Still some empty spots, I'm wondering who will fill them.
So, some guys lays down what he claims to be a big hand.
He then declares he's a pokergod because he has awesome reads.
The other guy shows Ahi just to prove to him that he's not a god.
Then the other guy claims, haha idiot, I only said that cause I wanted to see your hand.
Who's leveling who?
Already 418 people showed up today. As soon as late registration ends I'll give you details about the prize money.
PokerStrategy members currently located: Pokernoob, Psychobenny, Fabstinho and Bagger0405.
Wauw! Took me about an hour just to walk past the tables and see who is in.
Big field today. Pics coming up!




Warning: Information is at least 15 min old so completely unreliable.






Can you try to get a chip count on fitz1, and tell him hi from Grindithard, his old CM from the Swedish community!
Fabstinho says his table is quite soft.
Even the presence of live pro's John Juanda and David Williams isn't really a problem for him.
Also, let's make my job a little bit easier:

Gonna go eat something now
