I talked to 
Simon1989 about the hand:
Simon1989: "I put the other player on a hand like JT, QJ or QT, maybe also with a :diamond:. With a hand like he actually had I expected him to check/call the turn and the river but he moved in and I saw myself ahead against all those weaker pairs with a draw so I finally made the call and my hand was not good."
between this tourney and the last. Simon hasd failed to impress me at all.
Brutal player
Well one Team PokerStrategy.com member drops out of and another one "raises" into the tournament field of the Main Event Day 1A:
Our Team PokerStrategy.com Member Bokkie has been playing since the Day 1A began. The plan was to start into Day 1B but he was asked by the tournament management to start at 1A which he actually did. We had no chance to introduce ourself so we missed each other up to now.
Good news: Bokkie is up to 62.000 chips, his peak was at 75.000 but twice the starting stack is always nice.
Blinds are at 150 - 300 with Ante 25 and there are 147 players left.
Blinds at 150 - 300:
A Player in early position limps and Bokkie in late position raises to 1250, the limper calls.
They see the flop 3 
9 
T 
and the limper decides to bet 2900 into the pot. Bokkie raises to 9050, the limper folds and Bokkie wins the pot.
Main Event Day 1A:
Blinds at 200 - 400 / 40 (40min remaining)
Team PokerStrategy.com
Bokkie: 55.000 Chips
Simon1989: out
PokerStrategists:
Ace0nTheRiver: 65.000 Chips
LeChiffre19: 22.000 Chips

you are not the first one who mentions about this effekt. It looks nearly the same at one of my pictures of the EPT Vienna.

The logos got a special structure which makes them look 3D from a wide range of the viewing angle. Sometimes it really looks kinda shopped, I absolutely have to agree with that
Dinner break does not mean live ticker break.
Our Blackmember 
cyde just started at the event #3, the €500 + €500 + €100 NL Turbo Bounty. Starting chipstack is 20.000, Blinds begin at 50 - 100 with 15 mins at each level. Sounds like a lot of action.
Event #3 NL Turbo Bounty:
Blinds at 150 - 300 / 25
cyde: 21.000 Chips

The players are back at their tables:
Blinds in the Main Event Day 1A are at level #7 300 - 600 / 50
Avg. Chipstack is 38.297 Chips
141 Players left (180)
Bokkie is at 45.000 Chips after he lost a hand right after the break.
He 3bet an MP raise of 1200 in late position to 3600 and got called.
Flop came 2 3 K and Bokkie made a Continuationbet of 3800 which got called.
The Turn was a 4 and after MP checked, Bookie bet 8600 but had to fold to MPs check/raise to 20.000.
Cyde is out of the NL Turbo Bounty Tournament.
During the push-or-fold stage, he pushed 88 and got called by KQ. Unfortunately there was a Queen on the flop and no help for him on the turn or river. He will start at the Main Event Day 1B tomorrow and will hopefully win his next coinflips.
Blinds at 300 - 600 / 50
Avg. Stack 42.187
Players 128 of 180
UTG raised, Bokkie
called in late position and the Button also called.
3 Players saw the flop JT2 with two :heart:.
UTG checked, Bokkie checked and Button bet half the pot, Bokkie called.
Turn was a Q :diamond:, Bokkie decided to bet and the Button folded his hand.
Unfortunately Bokkie is out of the Main Event.
Blinds still at 300 - 600 / 50
UTG raises and Bokkie calls in the SB.
Flop was 8 5 4 
Bokkie checks, UTG bets 2200 and Bokkie raises to 9200, UTG calls.
Turn was the 6 :spade:, Bokkie bets 14000, UTG calls
River was the 2 :spade:, Bokkie shoves all-in, UTG snapcalls and wins the pot with 78s for a straight
Bokkie gave me a comment to his last hand.
Bokkie: "I tried to represent a made hand with my overcards. An overpair, a pair with a straightdraw or a set could be in my range. After he called my check/raise I continued to tell the story on that scary turn. After he called my bet on the turn I had to make a decision on the river. I moved all-in but I should have given up on that."
