William Ferrer out while Balazs Botond doubles up…. 0

Sunday October 18th, 2009 at 2:18 am

20 minutes to go to the next level. Blinds 3,000/6,000 with ante 500.  31 players left.

During this level straight after dinner we have lost almost all our qualified players: William Ferrer saw all his money go away with a classic coin flip: against . He moved all in pre flop and got called by the pair and the board didnt match any of his cards: ….that’s what happens when bad luck comes and greets you.

On the other side, Balazs Botond went all in at the right time.

With a flop on the board showing there was a bet of 36,000 and he reraised all in in no time. It took a lot of time for the opponent to call the 51,000 extra but he did. He asked Balazs:” do you have the Ace?” and he replied “Yes I do, and the Jack as well” :-)

Talking about pros,  we have lost three of them during this level…wow.

Antoine Saout got busted when he went all in with and got two callers: and and no help at all from the board.

Same destiny for Thomas Bichon against Ludovic Lacay, were not good enough against .

Last to go before the break is Tony G, with against A King on the river made it official.

Ludovic Lacay is the actual Chip Leader with around 830,000 chips.

…That tonight’s gonna be a good night, that tonight’s gonna be a good good night!

I am sitting here in the Chilipoker Lounge togheter with my colleagues and I listen to Severin singing this song.
He is very excited and so are we. In less than one hour we will have the opportunity to see some lucky guy (or girl :-) ) fighting for success. The PRO-AM NHL Freezout is about to start. Who shall I support? I cannot make my mind!

Liz Lieu will be there togheter with Tony G, Annette Oberstadt and my boss, Alexandre Dreyfus….hard choice.
I will say Alexandre is already a winner: The first WPT in Marrakech is big news. Everybody is having fun and it is fantastic walking through a hall full of smiling people. We are really having a good time.

I just cannot wait for the 4 most popular words to be said: SHUFFLE UP AND DEAL!!
