Langmann Strikes Back

Florian Langmann has struck back after Kyle McMurphy took the early lead.

On a {4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop Langmann check-raised to 1,800 over a 600 chip bet from McMurphy. After thinking about it McMurphy called and the {6-Diamonds} hit the turn prompting both players to check.

On the river {Q-Clubs} Langmann led 2,000 and after tanking a good time McMurphy folded.

McMurphy has a slim lead at this point, with the game tied 0-0 overall.

Update

Let's play guess the score in the Gary Retallick and Darren Woods match? If you guessed 1-0 Woods, you are correct. Not much has changed.

They are taking a ten minute spell. David Saab is restlessly awaiting his match, looking forward to a night out on the town.

Florian Langmann and Kyle McMurphy are currently underway.

When It Rains, It Pours

Two long running matches have just ended.

Andrew Seidman ended Dani Stern's run with a 2-0 victory after a bit of fortune went his way in the second rubber.

Seidman is in the money and will return tomorrow with Brian Roberts.

Florian Langmann finally claimed the scalp of Ron Beggs in a drawn out clash. Langmann won 2-1 and now is up against Kyle McMurphy in the third round. The winner of that advances to tomorrow.

Gary Retallick and Darren Woods are still playing. Woods leads the match 1-0 and the winner meets David Saab in the third round tonight.

The Whale is on Fire

His mouth may be scoring plenty of points, but his unique play of late and a bit of luck is getting it done of late too.

Andrew Seidman recently shipped it in with {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} against Dani Stern's {Q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

The {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, left Seidman calling, "T ball, T ball". He got the ten he was looking for, on the turn {10-Clubs}. The {8-Clubs} blanked off the river.

"I'm running so hot," said Stern. He still trails by a little way against Stern, but is 1-0 up for the match.

Round One of Who Gets Dealt the Best Cards Goes to Me

Andrew Seidman is a walking and talking colour piece. His making plenty of wise cracks to keep things interesting.

He recently doubled back again Dani Stern with {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} against Stern's {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, after turning an an {8-Spades}.

"Round one of who gets dealt the best cards goes to me," said Seidman.

"But I had the best cards preflop," said Stern.

"It's not about preflop, it's about the whole thing," said Seidman. "Therefore I win".

Again we'll leave it with BalugaWhale.

Updating

We got three games in progress at the moment.

Darren Woods leads Gary Retallick 1-0. They are pretty even in the second rubber.

Florian Langmann and Ron Beggs are still going at 1-1. Langmann now has a pretty imposing chip lead. There should not be long left in that game.

Dani Stern and Andrew Seidman is on as well. Seidman told us, it's 1-0 over there. He also told us that "Dani called me down with Queen high. In game points i'm ahead 1-0, but in life points, i'm down like 10,000".

We'll leave it to BalugaWhale to sign us off on that note.
