Big difference now to the final result whether Buch can find the double through to get back into contention…

Peder Skaj – 1,500,000

Maksim Tyurin – 665,000
Joachim Buch – 416,000
Claus Nielsen – 343,000

MAKSIM OVERDRIVE

17:33, March 7th, 2010

The chips have been gravitating into Maksim Tyurin’s stack slowly but surely today, and he’s been the first over the million mark.  Just now he lost a pot to Anthon-Pieter Wink, who called his bet on a flop but bet the river (the turn was checked) after the and had appeared.  Tyurin thought about the 95k bet on the end, but eventually passed.  However he picked some right back up from Claus Nielsen, and stole a couple of blinds in the last orbit and a half so is still comfortably ahead.

Rough chip counts:

Seat 1: Nils Ral (Belgium) – 430,000
Seat 3: Zsombor Gall (Hungary) – 390,000
Seat 4: Danny Dabbagh (Denmark) – 435,000

WITH A NAME LIKE KALL, THERE’S ONLY ONE GAME FOR YOU

01:25, March 6th, 2010
Tags: ,

Christian Kall is hot on the heels of chip leader Claus Nielsen in the final level.  He’s got a stack of 86k, and luck on his side – he just eliminated a short stack with the dominated to .  The Queen appeared instantly on the flop, and soon it was a parting handshake he was giving rather than a double up to yet another player.

I have a bet there will be fewer remaining than yesterday (51) when this final level is over.

Here are some of the players who might be on that Day Two list:

Claus Nielsen – 110,000
Christian Kall – 86,000
Timo Kotipelto – 18,000
Dmitri Afanasyev – 17,300
Fuat Can – 36,000
Sami Saarelainen – 27,200
Philip Antonio – 19,500
Rasmus Berg – 24,500
Patrick Bousquie – 14,000
Hans Eskilsson – 18,600
Leemet Prits – 21,000

SELECTED CHIP COUNTS

18:00, March 5th, 2010
Tags: ,

_MG_0119-1Three tables have broken already, which means 3×10 players have already bitten the tournament dust here on Day 1B.  One of them is the gent pictured, Ruben van der Meer, who stood out from the crowd so much that it was obvious when another player took his seat!

The biggest stack in the room is 42,500 chips, and had no player sat behind it!  This veritable wall of chips belongs to Talih Saliba, if the same player is in that seat as was there at the start of the day.

There are a couple of other stacks in the 20s and 30s of thousands, but this breaks yesterday’s dinner-break record by a reasonable amount.

Other selected counts:

Marco Adams – 5,700
Branimir Brunovic – 6,000
Erik Dahl – 18,000
Hans Eskilsson – 15,200
Jussi Heikala – 3,600
Timo Kotipelto – 13,200
Nicolas Dervaux – 7,550
Samlane Phomveha – 12,200
Andrius Tapinas – 6,100
Rafal Arendt – 13,400
Michal Wisniewski – 12,500
Fuat Can – 19,300
Davor Pavic – 15,500
Simon Johansson – OUT
Huub Verdonschot – OUT
Claus Nielsen – 16,000
Dennis Lindmark – 25,400
Rafal Gladysz – 25,000

Meanwhile Danish Actor and Bond Villain Mads Mikkelsen has also been eliminated from the tournament. We don’t think he ran the second nut full house into a straight flush though.
