Go go Allanon

It's almost impossible to get to pokernoob. It's in the corner and there's a table in front of it full of camera people.

Allanon is picking up the blinds regularly. I have the impression his table is quite tight.

Trader has moved upstairs, right next to the press room.

Allanon openraises CO, takes it down.
Hand after that he 3bets UTG openraiser and takes it down.
He has most of the 100 chips present at the table (ante is 100 and they use a lot of 100's for the blinds as well).

Pokernoob moved to feature table. He's enjoying a much more comfortable seat.

I like that, it's always good to have a goal, and getting all the 100 chips is a nice goal.

Playing less than 50% of your hands is a good goal as well.

Anyway, players are on break now. Gonna try to find out their chipstacks.

Chip counts after level 8

Blinds are now 500/1000 with a 100 ante
Average is: 80k
Players left: 124

Pokernoob: 150k
Bongbob: 80k
Trader: 80k
Allanon: 35k

Trader had a swingy level first going up to over 100k, then down to 60k and now up to 80k again. Or was it the other way around, I forgot. Well he ended at 80k that's for sure.

Haven't eaten all day and I'm starving now. Gonna find myself something to eat now 'cause there's no dinner break.

Yeah. Psychobenny on the site. He unfortunately lost on the first day with Jacks against Kings if I have it correct.

Man I like Burger King! We don't have it in Belgium so every trip out of the country is an opportunity to go there.

I wanted to eat something at the casino first but there's only a few waitresses walking around and they are always busy. So whenever someone wants to order something he pretty much has to shout to them to get their attention.

I'm Belgian see and we have a phobia for being unfriendly. So calling someone (Like:"Hello? Miss!") is something we have issues with. When I finally picked up my nerves to do so, I asked: "Can I order something?" She replied: "NO" and ran away..

God bless you Burger King!

So I arrive at the feature table and I see pokernoob make a bet of no less than 25 thousand chips. He's up against Jason Mercier and they're still preflop. Mercier thinks really long, sighs a few times, looks at pokernoob a few times and then openfolds his hand. Pokernoob showed his hand as well.

I think it was AQ for Mercier and AK for pokernoob but I couldn't see that well.

Bad luck for trader.
When I arrived there was a K:cT:cRag:d flop on the board

Trader was heads up in position against a player who bet the flop. Trader called.

Turn: T:s

Villain bets, Trader calls

River: 5:h

Villain bets, Trader calls

Villain instantly turned over KTo for 2nd nuts.
I'm pretty sure his turn bet, and especially his river bet was quite small.
I didn't get the exact amount though because dealer was constantly switching chips.

Trader looked pretty disgusted...

I just joined Pokernoob for a quick snack during the break so I don't have chipstacks from the other guys.

Pokernoob now has 140k
Blinds are now 600/1200
Players left: 105
Average: 95k
This is the last level of the day

Pokernoob told me he lost an 80k pot during this level.
He went all in with QQ vs KK.
Pretty sick flop because he had Q:s and 3 spades came on the board.
No more spades on the turn and the river though.

In the hand I talked about earlier, Mercier 4bet Pokernoob to 19k, who replied with a 5bet to 47k.

Interesting thing is that someone at the table told Mercier when the cards were dealt, pokernoob was able to see one of Jason's cards. Pokernoob said he didn't saw anything though so they continued the hand.

When pokernoob made a 3bet he was thinking about the fact that if Jason had a weak card, he actually might think his hand had been visible and that was the reason pokernoob 3bet him.

Anyway, Jason later on said if they had been a little bit deeper he might have shoved but pokernoob seemd to commited to the pot.

Yeah Daniel/Allanon has more chips than that. I wanted to go and get an exact count but the camera crew is all over his table at the moment.

Then I went to the feature table and I saw pokernoob in a hand with... guess who... Jason Mercier.

The board looked like this: J:c6:c4:hK:h

Pokernoob, who had position, made a bet on the turn and got called by Mercier

River was: Q:c

Mercier checked and pokernoob bet again. Jason instafolded and Pokernoob took down the pot.

The hand right after, pokernoob opened in MP and took down the blinds and antes.
