Civil War..

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

As mentioned Ivo Donev and David Wintersberger was moved to the same table, and we now have a civil war instead of what was supposed to be an army of 2.

Ivo Donev raised to 15.000, and David Wintersberger shoved for about 165.000. Ivo goes in to the tank, and says that he has a very good hand, and it is going to be a big laydown if he folds. “I would never fold this hand to any other player, just because we are in the same team, I fold” Ivo says and folds his hand while saying he had _Ah _Qc. David lets Ivo look at his cards and he can find _Jc _Qh, and Ivo runs out of his chair and takes a lap around all the tables to calm himself down.

This is getting interesting.

65 players left and €5.500 guaranteed for both of our heroes.

Day 2 goes to the history..

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

David Wintersberger started the day as chip leader, but with a cold deck not even Jesus would be able to keep that big stack. David ends the day with 176.000.

Ivo Donev was able to get his stack back up to 168.000 and ends the day as a happy chessmaster.

We never made it to the money, but we are down to 86 players meaning that only 6 more need to bust before our Team RedKings stars gets a boost to their wallets.

The average stack is on 190.465 meaning that we can’t call any of our stars Chip Leader after day 2, but they both have very playable stacks.

Tomorrow will be more interesting than ever! Be back here at 14:00 CET for updates and freerolls!

Ivo and David marches on..

Level 13 just finished and we now have 2 more levels to play of the day, the Red, White and black Army consists of Ivo “The Chessmaster” Donev and David Wintersberger, they both have enough of strategy and artillery to win this war, but there is still 108 other enemies to destroy.

David Wintersberger - 290.000

David Wintersberger - 290.000

Let’s leave the war theme and get back to poker, David Wintersberger got about what he started the day with 290.000. Ivo Donev won two smaller pots in this last level and is back on 115.000.

Toni goes bust, and the rest goes for fish..

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

Toni Ojala who has as I mentioned before been going on a roller coaster, he was on the SB with _7h _7c and opened to 4.500, the Russian Cigar player on the BB moved all-in, and Toni called. He was up against _Ah _Kc. It all looked brilliant until the evil river shouted KING in his face, and there it was _Kd. Toni out.

David Wintersberger has been stable on 310.000 for a while, and is happy that his table is soon going the be broke up, as he says it is “one of the best tables I have ever played at”.

Ivo Donev goes to dinner with 110.000.

Bon Appetit!

Roller coaster in the Alps..

While writing this headline, a new business idea light up in my head, wouldn’t that be awesome?*

Anyway, that’s not the reason for it, the reason is spelled out Ojala, just after winning this last pot he first lost half of his stack down to 23.000, with a missed flush draw. Then he was all-in on the SB with _Ah _4c and BB woke up with _Tc _Th. Flop _4h _Xx _Xx, Turn _4d, River _Xx. Double down and then Double Up! 50.000 for Toni.

Ivo Donev is on 120.000, playing with Arnaud Mattern and “Sumpas”.

David Wintersberger lost a pot on a bluff against Lex Veldhuis and got about 280.000.

154 players is still in their chairs WITH chips.

Just 2 hours and 30 min until the next blog freeroll! But I need more comments to release the password!
