Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam Live Ticker. Here we will cover the progress of Team PokerStrategy.com player PokerNoob and other PokerStrategists.
Of course we hope to follow the players all the way up to the final table. EliasVeritas will provide you guys with chip counts, pictures, blind levels and action.
The tournament will begin Tuesday at 15:00 CET. Hope to see you guys there!
Hi guys!
I'm at the casino now since entering the hotelroom is a nono until 2PM.
Everything is still dead here since the casino has just opened.
Not so much to report about right now. The journey was pretty boring.
Someone jumped in front of a train I was supposed to catch turing my 5hr journey into a 6hr one.
Just saw something cool on the highway here in Amsterdam.
A garage selling baller cars was built right into the highway walls and you can view the cars as you drive by.
Also had a beer at Hard Rock Cafe.
Hearing that name I always pictured an old and dark pub with really loud rock music, guys you wouldn't want to stumble upon in a dark alley, and an atmosphere of cigarette and beer smell.
Turns out it's a really fancy place where you can eat as well and you're not even allowed to smoke
There's also a reporter for the dutch community here and he just called me to say our room is ready. I'll see you guys when the tournament starts!
Arrived at the casino.
Checked out where al the tables were.
They are in 4 different rooms so I will have to do a lot of running.
Haven't find any of the players yet which doesn't suprise me, it's pretty huge here.
By far the nicest casino I've been in so far.
I'm squeezed in between 4 pokernews guys since they always keep a free space in between to put all their stuff on the table. Too bad!

Just got a visit from Pokernoob and Psychobenny.
They're going to find out which table they are at now.
We still don't know how many levels we're going to play and when the dinner break is going to be.
Why do we don't know?
Because the organisation doesn't know yet.
Turns out they decide that whenever they feel like it.
Some random dude (translation: poker news guy) told me that for another tournament earlier this week, they announced they were gonna play down til 90 players.
After that they decided to play one more level and then they played another level.
Welcome to Amsterdam!
Hi. One Q, which is not related with this event...
Will PokerStrategy be attending in EMOP (European Masters of Poker) held in Ljubljana (Slovenia)?

They started playing.
I have some photo's already but the lightning is pretty bad.
I'll try to tune up my camera now.
Shaun Deeb just came into the press room looking for someone to take him to his table.
He awoke after 3PM ♦

Funny comment!
And if your question was serious, I have no idea. The closest guy is Chris Ferguson.

No straight flush for Benny on the river and he now has very few chips left.
Benny is a little bit up again, he has about 20BB now.
They're going on break in 10 min.
Half of the field, including Benny & Tobias, is going on a 60 minute dinner break then.
See you guys after!
A nice place I could recommend you: "The Greenhouse"
You should try their AK-47...
