Amsterdam Masterclassics - DAY 3 - Live Update (At A Glance)

<< < (7/10) > >>

Djinn:
A quick reminder of what will be awarded tonight - at the moment we are in the 19-21 frame, so the next player out is guaranteed €17,000.  I imagine play will stop only when the final table is reached, unless they just don"t knock people out enough and then play will stop, as is traditional, when the casino closes.

10 - 12. €30,000
13 - 15. €23,000
16 - 18. €21,000
19 - 21. €17,000

danafish:
There are 18 runners left because Nick Gibson is OUT. Details to follow, hopefully.

danafish:
Chip counts from the TV table:

Helland -- 120,800
Blatney -- 166,600
Sasa Biorac -- 211,000
McDonald -- 178,500
Ravensbaek -- 281,200
Simon Larcheveque -- 97,500
Micke Norinder -- 380,000
Noah Boeken -- 221,000
De La Gorce -- 358,300

Non-TV table to follow from Jen.

Djinn:
Um, I would love to be as comprehensive as Dana, but I didn"t get there in time and it took at least 3 minutes just to count Michael Martin"s stack.  Ditching the assumption that his stacks are 25 deep, and recalculating based on their being 30 deep, he has a staggering 830,000 and the chip lead by a comfortable distance. 

Just as they restarted after the drop to 18, he raised preflop and no one wanted to tangle with him.  He showed some disappointed  ah  :as:.

Tony Bloom -- 330,000
Sevevi -- 190,000
Eidsvig -- 220,000

Djinn:
There is now no line of sight to the part of the one remaining Main Event table in the Poker Pit on which flops, those key elements of the game of hold"em poker, are dealt. 

Here"s a hand I witnessed from the rail to illustrate:

Tony Bloom made up the small blind when it passed to him, and Michael Martin in the big blind raised to 17,000.  Bloom called.
Flop:  ? ? ?  Bloom checked, Martin bet 20,000 - call.
Turn: ?  Check-check
River: ?  Check-check. 

Tony Bloom showed:  :2h: :2d:
Michael Martin showed:  ks jc, and won the pot.  Therefore one of the cards on the board was either a King or a Jack, or there were two small pairs on it.  I am discounting the straight or flush options because there would have been no river check, I imagine.  We have entered the realm of "best guess" poker coverage.

My back hurts - I am checking out the massage chairs (fully reclinable!) which have been sadly occupied all day.  I suspect one of the guys on one of them has actually been asleep for many hours.
