Amsterdam Master Classics Final Table
Djinn:
Seat 7 Eric Larcheveque -- 435,000
Djinn:
Seat 8 Tristan McDonald -- 415,000
It turns out that we were right all along about his name - had an interesting chat with him pre-tourney - more later - but he was written as "Justin" because people were apparently having problems saying his name...
Djinn:
Seat 9 Christian Grundtvig -- 330,000

And now some big big action.
Eric Larcheveque raises to 30k or so, and Tristan McDonald makes it 100k; Eric moves all in. There is much dwellage. "What does he have that he"s dwelling so long?" wonders Benjo. Soon we find out, because after some long minutes of knuckle-gnawing, he makes the call. Eric slams his fist on the table in delight. "He must have Aces," says Benjo. Indeed he does.
Eric Larcheveque - ah ad
Tristan McDonald - qc qs
Board - ac 8c :2s: js jh
Larcheveque doubles up, and McDonald is very short.
Djinn:
Tristan has just moved all-in...uncalled. He says Hi, by the way, to Tracey, Ellen and Jessica. An interesting character, who works in the city and plays rarely (although with statistically unlikely success - he was runner up in this event in "06) McDonald has played the Masterclassics four or five times, and the WSOP Main Event. Apart from that, he considers going pro to perhaps knock some of the fun from the game...but judging from his play it could be a possibility for him.
He says he plays for fun, and is, "From the David Spanier school of poker." His rather odd claim to fame is that he was the last person to win a hand off Spanier before his death, having played in his game the night before...
As for his flush fold yesterday, "the biggest laydown I have ever made," he considered that although, "I would have been cross if he didn"t have it," the situation eventually seemed to him to warrant a - correct - fold. Describing that intuitive poker decision modestly as "guesswork," he says that usually he"s not so expressive while inwardly torturing himself over decisions - it"s just that both his opponents were already all in. Fair enough.
Describing himself as, "Not the nervous type," he does appear very composed at this final table, although he says having played Grundtvig before that he"s a tricky customer and one to watch.
Best of luck, sir.
