Amsterdam Masterclassics - DAY 2 - Live Update (At a glance)

(1/8) > >>

Djinn:
Welcome to Day Two of the Masterclassics €5k main event.  Nearly 200 players remaining, but there will be far fewer than that by the end of the day.

This is the At A Glance thread - info only - please feel free to request/harangue on the Interactive thread, should you so desire.

Djinn:
Extraordinarily, no chip counts or remaining players lists are available to any of the press currently at start of play.  You"ll know when we do.

Yes he did, with about 12k or 30 big blinds left. Should be plenty, although at the bar last night he was bemoaning the loss of a chunk of his stack - apparently he was an early big stack yesterday. Will keep you updated, if he"s near enough the rail, or will at least check in with him at breaks.

I have to say, it seems that the tournament organisers are going out of their way to make actually reporting on the tournament difficult, which is really odd, as the press room conditions are most excellent. Very strange. Very strange place.

Djinn:
Well, like a special morning treat, I got 10 minutes inside the rope in the Main Room (which was enforced to the second, despite there being a juicy all in going on right in the middle).  So I know a few people"s current counts:

Mike Tse -- 36,000
Pete Haslam -- 11,425
Paul Testud -- 14,500
Arnaud Mattern -- 19,300
Nick Gibson -- 40,000
Dave Colclough -- 27,000
Rolf Slotboom -- 19,000
Bruno Fitoussi -- 8,500
Keith Hawkins -- 17,000
Johan Storakers -- 30,000
Mickey Wernick -- 38,000
Alan Smurfit -- 26,000

Djinn:
Also, killed by the turn and resurrected by the river was shortstack Dutch poker icon Rolf "Ace" Slotboom.  My attention was attracted by a surprisingly high-pitched noise coming from his table, as it appears he"d gotten it all in with  :as: ks against  ac  qd, and the board had come  6c 9c 4c qh.... kd and he doubled through to his current stack.  "Wooo!"

Meanwhile Arnaud Mattern faced an uncomfortable situation having raised on the button to 2,500 and found mid-position limper Paul Testud moving in for 7,225 total over the top.  He thought for a while before calling with his  kh td - and faced one of the worst case scenarios:  :as: kd.  No help and one Frenchman doubles up another.
