I thought there were meant to be storms in Malta. I think HF has just photoshopped that picture. Great skills!

Poor Jaroslav down to 4k when his AA is busted by 44....
On a 2335 board the river 4 makes jaroslav's straight but the villain had filled his house up!! |
By:
And Jaroslav falls when he gets his remaining 4k in with QQ v AK.
The flop brings an Ace and ends his tournament... |
By:
Kasper falls shortly afterwards...
He runs AK into AA and the case Ace on the turn persuades him to throw all his chips in. He was unhappy with his play in the hand but says he will dedicate the rest of the week to alcohol..... |

We have reached the end of level 2 and the players are having their first break....
|
By:
The third level has started at 100/200 and 153 of the 164 players remain..
A latest chip count... Zoltan Bozoki 25k Harald Olsen 22k Lars Kunde 19k Paul Woloszyn 16k Are Bjelland 15k |
By:
Paul really means business now... The shades are on!
|
By:
Finally tracked down our final day 1a player Antti Takala...
|
By:
Harald Olson falls by the wayside....
Was down to 15k, finds AK in early position and raises to 525... Re-raised to 1500 and then the button 4 bets to 3500... Harald said the button guy was a decent player and capable of making a move so Harald shoves in his 15k... Button calls and shows QQ, the board offers zero help and Harald will once again rely on his lovely girlfriend Lizzie Hille to carry him when she plays in day 2a tomorrow! |

Epic fail! |
By:
Halfway through level 4 with the blinds at 100/200 and a 25 running ante...
Chip counts for our five remaining warriors are as follows... Zoltan Bozoki 25k Are Bjelland 16k Antti Takala 14k Lars Kunde 14k Paul Woloszyn 13k |
By:
We are having a split dinner break with half the players having an hour break and half the players playing level 5 which will obviously be reversed in an hour!
|
By:
Lars struggling now on 7k...
Flopped top pair and a flush draw but was up against flopped straight and nut flush draw. Did really well not to go broke when the river made the flush considering his oppo had him covered! |
By:
And Lars is out...
Finds A9 suited on the button... UTG+1 raises and big stack flats him so lars shoves and is snap called amazingly by pocket 4's and loses the race! |
By:
Nap landed !
Can we just have three photos of Elisabeth per day and less poker news ? |
By:
Zoltan moved onto a very healthy 40k..
Antti struggling on 8k... Are consolodating on 19k... I think we have lost our North east friend Paul but I cannot confirm that as a fact! |
By:
Lizzie starts tomorrow on day 1b Chip...
Plenty of photo's will be forthcoming! |
By:
She must physically be in Malta though surely ? Check her room ffs !
|
By:
I can't Chip...
The last restraining order hasn't run out yet i'm afraid! |
By:
I am pleased to say that Paul is still alive and kicking with a 13k stack.

OK all dinner breaks now finished...
We go back at level 6 with blinds 200/400 with a 50 running ante... 119 players remain and we will be playing until the end of level 8 this evening. |
By:
Zoltan has 55k, has had AA 6 times apparently and still looks like he wants to kill me, you just can't please some people
Disclaimer: Zoltan is a friendly guy who just goes into murderer mode when he sees a camera pointing at him! |
By:
Are still hanging in there with 18k, the guy on his left is a right character who has been battling with Zoltan!
