Blinds are now 2000/4000 with a 500 ante
Average: 141k
Players left: 59 (5 more til ITM)
No spectacular changes in chip counts but it's a bit hard to count them atm.
Remember that 20k stack Benny had a few hours ago?
Well now it's up to 284k!!
Benny had QJ and the board was: QJTxx
He told me he bet the flop and got called
He bet the turn and then got check/raised all in.
He snapcalled and villain showed KTo for an open ended.
No help for his opponent and Benny took down the pot.
57 players left
The buffet has opened and I haven't eaten all day so I'm going to eat something. Players will go on dinner break in half an hour as well.
I'll see you guys afterward with hopefully some nice updates from the players.
Lots of action!
First I heard a very loud: "I CHECK!"
It came from this guy
During the break, Thomas called him the french Eli Elezra.
It is in my humble opinion that he is at least ten times as worse.
Anyway. The board read QJx and DrAction made a bet.
Villain, lets call him EliFrench, check/raised.
Thomas quickly shoved and EliFrench snapcalled.
DrAction shows KK
EliFrench shows AA
EliFrench won the hand and had about 80k after that.
Then I quickly went to watch Benny's table because he was also in a hand.
I suddenly heard EliFrench scream "All In".
(Btw, when I say scream, I mean really, really loud)
Turns out he was up against DrAction again.
FrenchEli had: 66
Thomas had: JJ
Everything was looking good until a 6 fell on the river giving FrenchEli a set and also giving him almost a heart attack from excitment.
I think he said nice hand about 30 times as well.
But back to Benny's hand.
He was playing a hand against, well let's call him his nemesis.
He played a lot of hands vs this guy already.
This is also the guy where he made the 3k bets against.
No idea what happend in this hand as I was watching DrAction.
The board was
The pot was
Benny made a 40k bet on the river.
Villain took his time, got the clock called on him and eventually called.
Benny turned over A:c7:c for the second nuts and the other guy mucked.
I'll try to get chipstacks now.
I'm on tilt ♦
Everytime I want to make a post, it takes me so long because of the internet that I miss so much of the action.
Appearantly DrAction played a 3-way all in with AJ on an AJxxx board. He was up vs another AJ and QQ. There was a lot of discussion with the floor and with Tournament Director Matt Savage because DrAction thought he got too little back from the side pot. Benny tried to back him up but Matt Savage decided everything was ok. I have to be honest that this is all I know and I have no idea about the details. I'll ask Thomas about the hand during the break.
PS: Matt Savage looks like Jim Carrey
SB just openlimp/folded when DrAction made a raise on the BB.
Also Tony G is out, JJ < AK with a K on the river
Break now, see you guys after.
So appearantly, in the AJ hand, the dealer forgot to make a side pot.
Matt Savage then came and made the two pots but forgot about the blinds and ante's. The mistake cost DrAction 5k.
Also, he's pretty sure that when he came back from the dinner break there wer some chips missing from his stack. The guy next to him was also missing a 10k chip.
He says all those things are pretty much distracting him. He hopes he just takes it down now so that it won't matter in the end.
We won't play down to 27 today but we will just play 2 more levels today.

He openraises from the CO to 18k

He had some pretty weird stuff happening today.
"When playing live poker there's a lot of things you have to think about."
Benny made it 17k preflop on the BTN
SB called
Flop: K:c6:c2:c
Benny cbet and villain check/folded.
Few more minutes til the next level.
Benny has about 300k left right now.
Just saw a sick hand at his table
Flop: ATx
Two guys went all in, one holding AQ and the other with AT.
AQ guy: "Oh man, I play so bad, damn"
Turn: Q
AQ guy stops talking, his eyes go open completely like: WTF!
River: T
AT guy: "YES, YEAH BABY, WOOHOO... sorry man, but you know, I had the best hand... YEAH BABY YEAH"
AQ guy walks away clearly on monster tilt.
Level 20, last level of the day
