Baltic Festival: Entering the general straight



Baltic-blog.pngThe past hour has not been kind to our sports stars. Kenneth Carlsen, the Danish tennis player, was seen wandering across the tournament floor and his chair, next to Morten Ramm, was empty. Carlsen went to the opposite side of the tournament room, as regards to where Mats Sundin was sitting. Note that "was". Sundin was eliminated by his countryman Ola Billmont, with queens against aces. That is the way it's on this game.

Billmont, who may or is probably not wearing an image of Sundin on his T-shirt (see picture), is one among a handful of players who've lately passed 40,000 in chips. By my reckoning, the Estonian player Märt Metsanurm might be our leader with about 55,000, with the Lithuanian Aleksandras Medvedevas not far behind.

It's all gone south in recent minutes for Espen Ringstad. He hit a high water mark of around 70,000 at one point, but have been at the slide. He's still a great deal alive but isn't quite so healthy as he once was.

The Danish player Claus Bek Nielsen is having a super day. We sometimes see Nielsen within the press rooms of the EPT - he's a journalist when he isn't playing poker - but it's definitely the latter for him this afternoon. Nielsen has 44,000 and alter. His countryman, and fellow journalist, Jonas Huttel continues to be also kicking, although he's been pegged back to around 13,000.

Huttel is now at the same table because the prospering Katja Thater (31,000) and Jari Mahonen.

To cap the Danes of interest in a single post: Peter Eastgate has 37,000, that is a good tally too for this stage.
