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

Meanwhile downstairs, Karl Mahrenholz, currently on about 45k, is sharing a table with Johnny Lodden. Also on their table is a gent in an extraordinary 10 Gallon hat. Karl dropped a few chips to him when he raised from the button, was called by Hat Man on the small blind, and then folded when Mr Hat bet out on the 9c ah qs flop. Mr Hat obligingly showed the ad as Karl folded.

Squinting into the distance in the downstairs room I could see Pete Linton move in before the flop, and thus steal the blinds and I think a limp too, after some considerable dwellage around the table. Have to say he looked incredibly relieved when everyone folded.

After a short argument about how much the player in question does or does not look like Christopher Lee, the ever-helpful Benjo has informed us that the cap-wearing gent who some posts back became involved with Carl Hostrup is in fact French player Eli Marciano. Thanks, Benjo!
He does look like Chrisptopher Lee.

You know when you see a player in front of one of the TV cameras that they"re on their way home (or to the cash game). The latest stars of the small screen (i.e. eliminatees) include Rolf Slotboom, who said, of the rail, "I shouldn"t be here." I didn"t press him for outdraw details, just congratulated him on a good week at the Festival, having come 14th in an earlier Hold'em event and finalled the Omaha for good measure.
Also OUT are Pete Haslam, Casey Kastle and a gent on Praz"s table whose shortstacked limp/call-an-all-in combo with 7s 7h found 8h 8s in the all-in player"s hand to take him out.

Nick Gibson"s had an adventurous sounding day. It didn"t start off well, with Jan Boubli apparently re-raising him for fun all the time and dropping his starting 50k down to 25k a moment ago. "I was his bitch," admitted Nick. But then a hand helped him back up, when, "I tried my hardest to bust myself." Here"s what happened: An under the gun raiser raised, Nick made it 5,100 with ac ks, one caller. The flop came Six-high, perfect, and Matey bet out 6k. "All in," says Nick - for 20k. A very long genuine dwell ensued, at the end of which Matey called with his qd qc! But an Ace on the turn got Gwibbo out of jail and he"s back in the tournament in spite of himself.
