Day: 2b
As they are embedded in a bizarre dialogue exchange as to what Karl's next move should be, the 10-foot giant suddenly announces call out of the blue, much to the chagrin of Lovelady.
Karl shows , resulting in Lovelady politely admitting, "Good call that, mate," showing down in the process.
Although he had outs, they were quickly dispelled, the clinical turn and river giving the Londoner an unexpected full house.
As he left, Lovelady was a gentleman in defeat, congratulating his opponent on the call and wishing him good luck for the rest of the tournament.
They are getting very rowdy, like most English supporters of competitive games.
I hope they've had something to line their stomach, otherwise they will regret it in the morning.
At just 19, Adam Junglen may very well be one of poker's biggest rising stars. Aggressive, confident and unrelenting, his fast 'any two cards' style has already led to an EPT final in the shape of Season 4's opener in Barcelona where he finished 6th for a quite magnificent €196,500.
As I wandered over the table to obtain his chip count, table opponent Karl 'Mantis' Mahrenholz beckoned me over and said, "He's a bit quiet, isn't he? Doesn't say a word, just dead silence all the way through. It might put me on tilt soon."
But then, moments after building a big stack, about 23k of it continued on one place to the left, as Riisem called Christian Toboc's all in re-raise from the button. He called with , in pretty bad shape against Toboc's . As the board came down non-dangerous, Toboc, who has recently seemed unable to remain seated for more than two hands in a row, leapt up once again and received some slaps on the back and secret-handshake like congratulations from his avid railers. He's on 47,600, while his opponent isn't really in danger of becoming a short stack just yet.
One for team GNUF - we asked Toboc what the initials representing his sponsor and site actually meant, and he said, "I have no idea. I think it's meant to be like 'Gucci' or something, letters which don't mean anything but are original." There you have it.
In the movie "Rounders," Mike McD bluffed Johnny Chan out of a pot with rags. He got the Master to lay down a better hand.
Fronda increased his stack to 72,000. No word if he has a friend named 'Worm' that stiffed Teddy KGB.

Very first card out is an ace and the rail erupts. It appears the UK won in the railbird stakes.
