Players on a 15-Minute Break

03-13-2008 21:35 UTC+1

Andy Black has had a couple of gifts to get back up to 80,000. First he pushed from the big blind over an UTG raise, and found his pocket nines in better shape than he thought when he was called by J-9.

Double-up number two came when he found pocket aces and a willing player with A-Q. No bad beats and he is much happier going into the break.

Andy Black has had a tough level. First his aces were cracked by pocket eights in an all in pre-flop encouter for 50,000. The eights made a flush on the river. He just lost a decent sized pot against Christoffer Sonesson. With the board reading {9-Clubs}

, Andy bet out 7,500 and Christoffer raised to 15,000. There were 30,000 chips in the pot already by this time and Andy insta-called only to insta-muck when Christoffer tabled {K-Spades}

.

Andy Black is down to 15,000 now, while Christoffer has 220,000.

Jean Claude Perrot 0, Poker Table 1

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Our friend and apparent gang banger Jean Claude Perrot had his hand wrapped in gauze during the dinner break, following his assault on an innocent Casinos Poland poker table after he won a big pot against Risto Ailamo.

According to a source who was with Perrot in Barcelona for a recent EPT event, a similar incident took place there in which Perrot struck the table with the same hand after Gus Hansen bluffed him out of a pot, resulting in a broken right hand.

God only knows how Perrot will react when he loses a pot, but thankfully he seems to be on quite the heater. In just over an hour, he’s chipped up from 100,000 to well over 200,000 in chips and shows no sign of slowing down.
