Trader is shaking his head, rolling his eyes, he's down again. (About 10-12k I think)

Fabstinho: "I'm grinding the shortstack"

He was up to 10k again but then went back to 6k after he called two streets on a Thi board with 99. The other guy had T6o.

Meanwhile a big discussion on another table because someone talked about his cards with other players still in the hand. He was 100% sure that this did not matter at all because he had already folded.

Blonde upset french girl still in the hand: "Mais, c'est pas normal ca!"

Nasr El Nasr is MIA. I'm pretty sure he was the one I kept losing in Barcelona as well so this shouldn't mean he is out.

You guys want more pics of the girls we think!

There are so many pretty ladies sitting at the table we are forgetting our own players... I'll go round every table and photograph the girl. The excuse is that I need it for an interesting coverage. Smart plan ey?

A conversation I had with Nazgul below.

"Nazgul why did you bust? It's the easiest tournament I can put you in"

"Well Robbie he got quads. Players don't have quads. Especially French players don't have quads. They have 73o and hit a pair of threes. Board was 84467 so I should have doubled up against 95o with my full house eights over fours."

"But you are supposed to have him covered so you don't bust when you got a worse set-up than Harvey Lee Oswald"

"Well I did have him covered!"

"Then why are you busted?!"

"Well next hand they flopped quads against me again.... Marrakech is nice though. fml tilt etc."

"LoL"

BTW: The internet here is also super tilting. It isn't working half or most of the time. On top of that there's insufficient space in the press room for two laptops and we're forced to steal power from the fans around us that keep the place cool. So now everyone is overheated and on tilt cuz internet went out when they hit post message

Bongbob: 65k
Benny: 15k
AceOnTheRiver: 10k

The thunder in the press room scares me.
Maybe the tent wasn't such a good idea after all.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger...

And up, and down. And up, and down.

Funny T-shirt #1

Funny T-shirt #2

I like Dominik's sweater

Find Fabstinho!

He had to spread his legs wide open to do an interview, so his head would be at a good position.
Pretty funny sight.

Konstantin is doing great

Translation: C'mon, you can't talk about your cards while I'm in the hand.

Non talking mode

:)

Oh btw Trader told me about a funny hand during the break.
He had A:sJ:h and saw a 3way flop without initiative.

Flop A:hx:hx:h
giving Trader Top Pair and a Flushdraw

Original raiser check/raised and Trader called.

Turn J:c
giving Trader Top Two and a FD.

Villain bet, Trader shoved and villain folded showing AA.

Matt Savage is the Tournament Director btw. I didn't like his opinions about the whole Q:c6:c hand but he does seem to be a pretty cool guy irl.

Original von trader
Bin leider gebusted...

Hab 25k stack, CO opened, ich im BB 3bete AQ, er callt...

Flop 672 rainbow, ich bet er callt.

Turn Q of clubs bringt nen backdoorflushdraw. Ich bet er callt.

River 9 nonclub und ich ca. halbe Ps left... Ich shove for value und hoffe nachdem mein Gegner schon 5min am Überlegen ist gecallt zu werden. Schließlich tut er dies auch und alle sind etwas verwundert, dass er T8 für die nuts umdreht..nice slowroll

Um ihn zu verteidigen, er hatte am Turn den Flushdraw aufgepickt und hat sich auch entschuldigt und meinte er hätte nicht realisiert, dass er ne straight gemacht hat =)


Loled at Nazgul's interview and when he said he got "quaddoozled"
Really digging this live ticker :f_p:

During the break I had a discussion with some players wether she was hot or not.

Benny told me he was able to double up and he now has 42k.
Fabstinho is slowly losing his winnings, I mean his chips. He is down to about 4k.

Nasr El Nasr just has to be out, or else he is just diving under the table everytime I walk past it.

*Stupid donkeys calling my openraises, lets just shove!*
And like that, Fabstinho is up to 6.5k again
20 min til Dinner Break.
I would lie if I said I am not thinking about the buffet right now.

Bongbob lost an 80k (=massive) pot with KK vs AK.
Just saw him losing another pot when he had to fold after getting check/called on the flop and check/raised on the turn.

He is still doing ok though. I think he has average at least.
Dinner break now. See you guys in 60-80 minutes.

Fabstinho doubled up.

Someone "who had been going crazy for 2 hours" opened to 1.2k.
The blinds were both sitting out and Fabstinho shoved 5k on the BTN with 33.
Original raiser called with K3 and Fabstinho's hand held.

Bongbob was a bit less fortunate.
No idea how the action went but when I arrived I saw 3 hands face up at the table. AA,AK and QJs. The Aces, who didn't belong to Bongbob, held and he lost a big part of his stack.

Fabstinho is out

He raised 3 times in a row and took it down preflop
He had a 16k stack

Blinds are 200/400 with 50 ante
He openraised the fourth time in a row to 850 with 76s.
Some young guy in the BB 3bet him to 2.5k.
Fabstinho 4bet all in.
Villain called with AK

No help for Fabstinho and he went out.

He told me that he thinks it's ok to shove there because he had a really agressive image at that time and the Big Blind was probably fed up with him openraising so many hands.
