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

<< < (5/8) > >>

danafish:
Voitto Rintala has been cheerfully telling anyone who"ll listen that he"s made 10k in the cash game in 2 hours. Well done him.

Also inhabiting the cash tables and is therefore OUT is Frenchman Thomas Fougeron.

danafish:
Um, is this Steph Boyd? If so, he"s on maybe 28k. He"s also sharing a table with moustache hero Dave Finney, Paul Testud, and a gent (also below) who is probably our new chip leader with an absolutely monstrous stack. Apparently the monstrous stack was acquired all in with 7-8o on a 9- tc- jc flop against an  ac kc that never hit.

Djinn:
Hell for Heller:

Adam Heller, having had a stack to contend with for most of this tourney, has just removed about half of his remaining chips in a couple of hands just now.  First off, a short stack min raised under the gun (blinds 400/800 ante 50), and Heller on the button made it 5k.  Back to Shortstack Matey who shoved, call from Heller, who showed  ac 9d to Matey"s  ah kc.
Flop:  jc qc 9h.  The table gently sucks its breath in in a disapproving manner.
Turn:  ad
River:  qs  And Matey doubles through after all.

Then.. chip leader Norinder calls Heller"s preflop raise to 2,500 in the big blind.
Flop:  ac ah :2h:  check...Heller checks too.
Turn:  7h Norinder checks again, Heller bets 3k....call
River:  qs  Check a third time - Heller bets 6,000 (over a third of his remaining chips)
There is a great mutual staredown at this time, and eventually Norinder makes the call, while Adam Heller taps the table, shows a bluffing  6s 9s and lets his opponent"s  6c 6d take in the pot.

Djinn:
Down to 100 players and they are all being converged in the one upstairs Poker Pit.  Sadly the break order for tables from here on in seems to be exactly that - starting at the rail (our only point of contact) and moving in.  One table still nicely visible has both Praz Bansi and Karl Mahrenholz on it now - the former on 45,000 and the latter around 33,000.

Mickey Wernick, according to Jon Raab, is "on life support...no cards all day, been pushed off a couple of times.  Plus there was a big hand Jacks vs. Fours which he lost 15k on."

danafish:
This gent seated next to Rumit has just taken someone out with pocket Fours versus A-Q; not sure when the money went in but there was a Queen and a Four on the flop end of the board.

Rumit is on around 30k.
