T-Shirt Of The Day
Mr Christopher Klodnicki (also Name Of The Day):
I think his gaze and his t-shirt may be directed towards Boris Becker, who has amazingly made it to the latter stages of the €500+ one rebuy comp. Sharing a table with Paul Bracken and John Tabatabai:
Actually here's a better picture of that table:

Gone But Not Forgotten
Neil Channing is no longer in the tournament – spotted in the hallway with the somewhat surprised look of someone who has busted when he hasn’t had much recent experience of busting. Sorry mullacott etc. He can’t win ‘em all.
Also Not In but were at start of day---Anna Wroblewski
Eli Elezra
Stuart Fox
Five full tables of players. Chip counts of remaining players on their way.
Mini Elite Promotional Side Event News Now
The first player out of the $10k Stars of Poker (see what they’ve done there?) was Daniel Negreanu. I was alerted to the fact that he was all in by hearing his dulcet tones announcing, “I have no outs.” He stood up and it became apparent that he was in a set-over –set situation vs. John Duthie, (555 vs KKK) and as he headed out, he got the poker player’s way of saying Hard Luck from the table: “What a cooler.” He himself left saying, “Say goodbye to the donkey!” although it was unclear whether he was referring to himself or to Duthie.
Kicked Out :(
The bubble is so very close now, and apparently somebody spoiled it for everyone and all the press have been banished to the rail until it's burst. :( Poor us.
On the plus side, free pizza has appeared!
On the plus side, free pizza has appeared!
Fight! Fight!
Peter Tramply - 320k
Pierre Hall - 112.5k
Eric Liu - 188k
Robin Keston - 130k still
Snoopy spoke to Neil Channing - he's on around 70k. "I dropped about 100k to the guy on my right," - one Joe Hachem. "Apart from that, everything's great."
--------
Altercation between Woody Deck and Joe Hachem! There was a big crowd around the table - apparently Hachem lost a big pot which was checked on the river, and a few people wanted to see his cards, as they were entitled to do, seeing as it was checked on the river. Hachem refused to show, at which point I understand Woody Deck called him an asshole, at which point Hachem went loopy and stormed away from the table. The way Snoopy tells it, the phrase ,"Who the fk do you think you are," may have been uttered...

Concerning the €10k STT, from the virtual pen of Mad Harper:
dear all
just to answer a few questions regarding the Stars of Poker $100k televised Sit and Go that is taking place right now (April1 15) at the EPT Grand Final....
Eight Team PokerStars Pros are taking part :Daniel Negreanu (actually first out after being busted, set over set, by EPT founder John Duthie), Katja Thater (Germany), Noah Boeken (Holland), Barry Greenstein (USA), Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (France, winner of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in January 2008), John Duthie (UK), Dario Minieri(Italy, 3rd at EPT San Remo), plus Victoria Coren (£500k winner of EPT3 London), plus Joseph "bigjoe2003" Michael who won a special live freeroll satellite held last night for PokerStars Supernova Elites. PokerStars' chief blogger Brad Willis recently wrote a great piece on Joseph Michael: http://www.pokerstarsblog.com
For profiles on Team PokerStars Pros, see http://www.pokerstars.com/team
All Team PS Pros paid $10,000 (dollars) to enter and PokerStars has added $20,000 to the prize pool to bring it up to $100,000. Payout: $50k to 1st place; $30k to 2nd, $20k to 3rd.
Do let me know if you need any more information.
Best wishes
Mad Harper
Some counts:
Andrew Teng - 35k
Trond Eidsvig :) :) :) - 30k
Antonio Esfandiari - 150k
Mostafa Belkhayate has doubled up to the tune of perhaps 200k courtesy of overnight chip leader Oyvind Riisem - Mostafa was holding K-Q on a King-high board, I'm afraid I didn't see what Riisem had. A massive "YESSS!!!!" and an ungentlemanly handclap from Mostafa alerted me to the double-up. Oyvind is not best pleased obviously, but certainly not in any trouble just yet.
--------
Mr Jan Sjavik shoves for around 25k from the big blind after, I believe, a small raise from Michel Carvin on the button. Actually I have only come over to the table because Jan is munching on a Snickers and I would like to have a photo of that. It takes me a moment to realise that all his chips are across the line, thus winning him my Most Nonchalant All-In Ever prize. Anyway, a short dwell from Mr Carvin later and they're on their backs.

Pokerstars.com EPT Grand Final Continues
Good morning, erstwhile blondepoker readers! Our server has exploded and this makes us sad. :( Therefore we are reduced to posting on this much lamer makeshift blog until it's back up. Please feel free to leave us comments requesting chip counts, photos etc, and if and when we work out the finer points of this site, we will do out best to make you happy.
We are currently about half an hour into Level 13, blinds 1k/2k/200, with 117 players remaining and average stack around 108k. The weather is, for the first time since we got here, officially Glorious, and we have high hopes that they will finally take the roof off at some point today. Photos will obviously appear at some point.
Also, the people who were repeatedly and obsessively enquiring after ludicrously expensive sit n gos yesterday will be pleased to know that the TV table is currently the venue for a €10k stt featuring, among others, Vicky Coren and Daniel Negreanu...
Oh, and also, for those who didn't manage to have a look at our thread on blonde before our whole virtual world came crashing down, check this out. You'll like it.
