The next instalment of Betfair Poker LIVE! will play out in Tallinn this weekend and Betfair Blogger ‘Helmuthian Folds’ has been given the arduous tasks of travelling East to keep everyone up to date with chip counts, pictures and stories from on and off the tables.
There is a strong band of Betfair forumites travelling to play and we’ll be paying particular attention to their progress but you’re welcome to post on here and request updates on any friends or family you have competing.
The main event begins at 5pm (UK Time) on Friday and all of the action will be recorded here.
Good luck to everyone travelling over.

Good luck to all involved, especially those that I met and shared a drink with in London.
Helmuthian, keep me updated on the progress of Kunoba and Klup, should just be a case of a rendezvous at the bar after an hour to hear their hard luck stories ;) |

This Betfair's version of kate Adie reporting live from Tallinn.
Arrived last night at around half past midnight and immediately found a very drunk klup at the bar with a large glass full to the brim with whiskey.... so no suprises there. Red Mist who flew over with me and Bifta sat at a cash table with 50 euro's and turned it into nearly 600 euro's all withinn 4 hours of landing..... What a guy!!  Then again it does help when a serial shoving German on the table who had already donated about 200 euro's to him shoves into him yet again after Mist has flopped quads. Very delightful.  |

So far the players I recognise here are...
Klup Bifta Red Mist Kunoba Scandi UK Big Rob Alexsdad Doobs I will update these and any more UK players I can find. If anyone wants updates on a player please shout up and it will be a pleasure to add them to my list. I will be doing the usual chip counts, reports on big hands, photo's with abusive captions and will happily pass on messages to players as long as they are unlikely to get me thumped. [;)] Main Event kicks off at 16.00 UK time and as soon as I have located the players seats I will try and get some photo's up and hopefully will be able to make people feel like they are involved even though they are hundreds of miles away. |

Well worth following as I believe Klup has something most amusing lined up for us and the cameraman and the reporter will surely not escape without interviewing the attention seeking Greek fish! [;)] |

5 mins have passed, is Klup still in the tourny?! :D :D
|
|
By:
Slight interuption of service as my Laptop decided it should restart itself and there were what seemed like 3 billion windows updates.
Anyway Doobs won a nice little pot, reraised preflop and was called, bet out on a 782 flop and called again, the turn brings a 10 and his bet meets with no resistance and he takes the pot down! |

By:
120 runners which was slightly less than expected leaving 7 players on each table.

By:
Klup takes down a 2.5k pot when his A8 (greek nut hand) hits and 884 flop and he keeps the customer interested through the J on the turn and the 2 on the river.

Apologies but Big Rob is actually Big Mark but I think he will be more upset about his early exit than my misnaming of him.
His AA has been busted by QQ, all went in pre flop, Mark raises to 300 the villian re-raises to 2k Mark re-re-raises to a modest 4k (tells you his hand really) and the villian shoves, dead flop but the turn brings a Queen for heartbreak for Mark. Long way to fly to get mugged like that.  |

1st break and chips counts as follows....
Big Rob (eachie) OUT Fergie28 25k Redmist 24k VainoTiik 23k Kunoba 21k Bifta 20k AlexsDad 19k Klup 18k Chris Roadknight 18k Doobs 16k Rob (two dogs) barker 16k |
|
By:
Fergie28 finds QQ, UTG raises to 400, player after raises to 1200 and Fergie raises to 3k and the original raiser shoves so after a long moody dwell Fergie lays down his QQ but he is still a little perturbed after that little encounter.

Apologies for the lack of photo's but the photographer is having troubles uploading them, if he hasn't sorted it out soon then I will start snapping away with my little fujifilm digital camera! [;)]

Definitely going to have to try and qualify for the next event, i'm getting withdrawal symptoms!

By:
Sorry but the following photo's are my handiwork so they wont be great!
  The Klup looking worse for wear after the preceeding two nights of debauchery!! |

By:
Could AlexsDad look more Gormless if his name was Gormy Gormless from Vacantsville?
 |

By:
 Poor bifta, getting a bit old and needs an afternoon nap before even Level 3 is complete! |
|
By:
 Contrary to popular rumour Red Mist is actually under 100 years of age. Other rumours of him constantly complaining and moaning are though in fact 100% true! |
|
By:
Fergie28 is reduced to rubble (2k) when his 8 10 on a A 2 10 6 10 board is butchered by AA.
Very harsh indeed! And here is a photo of him looking most unhappy about 30 seconds after the hand.  |
|
By:
 he's a Swiss based German who supports Arsenal. Oh and he is rather retarded, only actually offended 3 different races so far!  |
|
By:
 Rob Barker takes over Klups role as chief poser, I can see fur flying by the end of the night! [;)] |
|
By:
Right, slight Thrappers feck up.
All you fergie28 followers can breathe easy, the hand did play as I said BUT he only lost 5k of his 25k stack [smiley:crazy][:p] |

Please enquire to Barker as to how he caught that nasty looking scab on his nose.
Looks like some special cream may be needed. Gl all |
