AMSTERDAM MASTERCLASSICS AT A GLANCE
Djinn:
BREAK CHAT with your host, ME
Nic Szeremeta: "I have the mad Finn (Ilari Sahamies) on my left with about 60k and he"s raising, raising with any two cards all the time. I can"t get into a pot. He raised with K-8 offsuit, caught an Eight on the flop and after investing 7k called a guy all-in on the turn with the board reading 4-5-8-J for 17k! They guy had 4-5 suited for two pair - Jack on the river."
Rumit Somaiya: "It"s a LONG day. I just hope I don"t make any mistakes in the last hour - I"m pretty happy with how I"ve played today." He has 21,500
Jerome Bradpiece (back to 8k) lost a huge pot earlier with Aces (a hand he seems to be dealt at least once a round): raising on the button, he got the small blind calling 1,200 and check-raising all-in (10k) on the jc 5d :3c: flop. He called - his opponent held 6c 4c and it was the harmless looking :2s: on the river which took him down to 2k...
...Never fear! He only got Aces twice more, twice paid, and then some Kings and AKs which didn"t get so much action. I wonder why.
Simon Hennessey: "A big stack - possible chip leader - with over 80k just got moved to my table and has been going crazy - knocked two people out while I was getting Jerome a drink. I can"t believe I folded this..."
So what did he fold? Well, ad 5d in the small blind, he made it up after Crazy Big Stack limped preflop. A-8- 9c flop, and he check-called when Big Stack bet 2k. The turn brought the 8c - Simon bet out 2k, the big stack looked at his small stack and threw in 20k. Flush draw, said his brain, "fold" went his hand, apparently. Meanwhile a player on one of his earlier tables just wandered up to ask if he"d been correct folding Aces to Simon earlier. Yes, yes, it had been a set. "I had a feeling you were a nit." :D
danafish:
Mike Tse - about 20k.
danafish:
Simon Hennessey is OUT, which I know because he came to collect his ipod charger from the press room before going home. "Queens versus Ace Queen," he kind of hysterically giggled. "He made a straight. Good for him." He nodded maniacally for a bit before heading off. Bless.
danafish:
On Table Bansi/Fitoussi I witnessed a hand involving the lovely lady previously photographed next to Praz.
She bet 500 on a :2s: ad :3d: flop, and the bejumpered gent below called. They both checked the 4h turn, and she bet 1500 on the kh river, which he duly called, as his A-Q was crushing her pocket Eights. Oops. The very next hand the same gent stole her big blind. She looks bullied, and short.
danafish:
Roman Yitzhaki still around the 16k mark.
Previously unmentioned because I only just noticed him (must have been hidden on a far away table for most of today) Vampiric Vointto Rintala, as always winner of Contact Lenses Of The Day, on around 15k.
