Ecclesbury

In the $33 HORSE. This will be my first MSOP event and my first ever tourny on FTP. Exciting times.

I lasted 27 seconds before my brain started to heamorrhage.

Ah, just found this. It was the actually the 2004 $5000 limit 2-7 draw event. The final table was:1. Barry Greenstein2. Chris Ferguson3. Wil Wilkinson4. Howard Lederer5. Chau Giang6. Steve Zolotow7. Lyle BermanThat explains why it wasn't the most riveting TV!

I was thinking the other day what the chances would be that every single event of a WSOP was won by a first time bracelet winner.We're up to 15 this year, but this looks like breaking the trend. Only Tony G and Benyamine can keep it rolling.I vaguely remember a WSOP triple draw event being aired a few years back with a pretty stacked final table. From a TV point of view (as opposed to a poker view) it didn't make great tele because they all just got on with the job of playing poker and not acting up and getting overtaken with emotion.Although saying that, this final table is about as perfect

Go on my son!Loved reading these updates when I got up. Kept thinking he had jinxed himself with every new update, but they just kept on rolling!

GL Buddy, gonna rail for a bit until I can fall asleep.TID!!!!

Thanks for the rail guys!!7th for $892.Time for sleep.

URRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!Made a shaky ALl in call with 99 and lost most of my stack to JJ.Then got a walk in the big blind when the BB was half my stack!!

Ha, close, my name is actually Jonny!Sorry, I'm guessing you thought I meant checky. Checky might be cheeky, but not as cheeky as this final table.Down to 7 but I just had a pop at the blinds with JT and guy shoved. Down to <$900k

Good spot that man. 6:38am over here. Been up all night as usual. Sorry, yeah it's Ecclesbury (otley)

Currently sitting 7/9 with just under $1m. Very tired as usual and seriously abused the final table bubble so have zero fold equity going into this final table!!$6.8k for 1st

Just busted in the $100k in like 1000th or something. AKs < A8o aipf. Standard.Railing Loosh and rDog, gl guys!

Just over $21k at second break of the $100k. Had aces 3 times so far which is nice. Busted a small stack with them, then could only take the blinds next time.

GL Zach.

Just over $6k at first break of the £100k.Very boring so far.

Ah yeah, just noticed that the $100k has been included in the usual Gibler thread. Is this standard practice now?Things move so fast in the poker world, ha!Feel free to ignore/delete (Mods) this thread.

Is there no thread this week? Thought I'd make one if not. Haven't played this in a while (or poker for that matter) so looking forawrd to the inevitable horrible bad beats.Anyone else in?I doubled with AK and am sitting on $6370.If people want I can keep track of how everyones doing in this thread. Or is everyone at the Series?

The last few pages of this thread have made my brain hurt! Is anyone still arguing that the bet might still be placed? The time is now 20:42 PST on June 5 2008. The money has not been placed in escrow with JC Alvarado. By terms of contract the bet is void.

Anyone else got him in their team? He's currently chip leader of the World Championship Mixed Event with 37 left.Gus Hansen and a few other big names (Johnny Chan, Eli, Lee Watkinson, Tom Schneider) also in the top 10. Could be some points flying around here.I only have Tom Dwan of those though, so he best be getting that bracelet or my chances are screwed. I could have sworn I picked Gus, but looks like I didn't so I'm hoping he doesn't get points or I'll be falling (further!) behind about 90% of the field!

In England we pronounce it KET-CHUP.

FYP.In the grand scheme of things...

Man-ee-faces. All fart and no shit.Presumably no money was ever actually transfered? As in; Hoos was only going to ship his money once the OP's transfer was confirmed? If that's the case then all the OP actually managed to do was waste a few peoples time writing some PM. Considering those people are regular posters on an internet forum then he hasn't really achieved anything. Worst wind up ever.

Close, he came 3rd.GL DN and anyone else in.

2 more bust and while the bet won't be won/lost Man-EE-Faces' post is going to look pretty stupid!
