Blogging at live poker events a very enjoyable, but it’s also very exhausting as the days start as soon as you wake up and they don’t even end after you go to your bed. Your mind is still racing about everything that you’ve written that day and beginning to consider what you might have to write when you wake up in the morning.
You try to keep going for as long as you can, but when you start to forget your own name, it’s time to go home...if you can remember where that is. I’m almost at the point of the evening when it’s time for me to head out of the door and try and re-discover my true identity once again.
But before I go often search of answers that I don’t even know the questions to, here’s a round up what's still going on here in the poker rooms at Portomaso Casino, Saint Julian’s.
High Rollers Rolling
The €1100 buying highroller is now down to 18 players spread across three tables because it’s an eight max event. They’re playing for first prize of 18,500 and still in is Scotland Lewis Aikman, who finished second in The Hendon Mob Championship yesterday. Also Still hanging on in there is Rozvadov Main Event winner Presiyan Tsvetanov, however he’s now short-stacked.
Pace Slowing in the H.O.R.S.E
The H.O.R.S.E final table is now down to the last four players. The remaining foursome are Frank Visser, Timothee Marlin, William Lynch, and Antoine Degiorgio. It’s been a very good natured tournament, however the table chat has died by down in the last half hour, as things are beginning to get serious. They’re playing for a first prize of €3680 and have locked up a minimum of €980 each at this point.
Omaha Players Pot Limiting
The third tournament still playing on the upper floor is the pot limit Omaha 4/5/6 card tournament which mustered a field of 69 players. There are currently 23 players left fighting out for the first prize of €4,950. Many festival series regulars are still in the tournament including Scott 'Pokerbrahs' Kenyon, but he’s not live streaming this one. Andre Sorm, who won the first of the Franke‘s Flip Flops competitions is still playing, as is Sviten Special champion Barrie Dear, who jumped straight in after bubbling the H.O.R.S.E. Players are still in include Bulgarian Lachezar Tsenov and Finnish player Sami Pulliainen.
Thursday Madness
The Thursday madness tournament is still running on the ground for and The Festival’s. Karev Tralla it’s still in with 37 players left from the 81 who started. Will Karev make it three final tables in three days or has his good run come to an end?
Will be back on Friday for the sixth day of the festival and will provide the answer to this question and many more. That’s all folks, sleep well!
