    Winners, please post your Stars name and city where you want the money sent. I am also proud to report that we once again turned a profit as a group. We have never lost money as a group on one of these challenges. This time we profited $803.92 with a 31.02% ROI. Since we started with computerized tracking of the tournaments, we have played 3,483 games, netting $21,469.68 in prizes, for a total profit of $6,144.48 and an ROI of 40.09%. Pretty solid results for FCP.

    yeah, distance is lame. How much would flying have cost Gibler? I'm trying to justify Vegas in a few months
    Return flight from wither Melb or Sydney to LA is about $1100 to $1200 (flying VAustralia) plus it will cost about another $100 US or so to get from LA to Vegas return (more expensive if you book last minute)I flew VAustralia when i went to the WSOP last year and i can definitely recommend them (this isn't advertising, i'm just a happy customer)

    +1This isn't a tourney where you have to sometimes give up value for chip conservation, side games IMHO are about maximizing the value of every hand. I would never EVER check the turn. If we are positive that one guy has us tied and one guy we have crushed the more money in the pot the better. And maybe its just me, but considering this is a 1-2 game and the dryness of that board, I would have no problem playing a set of 7's like this from the SB on the flop then c/r the turn. Mainly because on the flop I'm giving UTG a chance to check raise and possibly get stacks involved on the flop. I know limits shouldn't matter, but lets get serious, they do.
    i think 77 and KJ is definitely in the SB's range here, as they could quite easily have been going for a C/R on the turn.So i dont mind checking behind on the Turn with TP/TK, as it will control the size of the pot if we are beaten, and it will induce a river bluff or a value bet from a worse hand as we played our hand so weakly.Given that we checked behind on the turn, we have to call the river bet despite the fact that we are certain we are chopping with the UTG, and there are really only 2 hands in the SB's range that beat us (77 and KJ) (we are calling $200 to chop $440).The only reason for putting in a raise on the river is to take down the pot without showdown, and push UTG off the same hand so that we don't have to chop with him, the only problem in this scenario is that the SB's river bet was too big, and our raise would be to $420 all in (just more than a min raise), Its not enough to push UTG off his hand, and the SB is only calling if he has us beat, so there is no gain only risk in raising the river.

    Biggest Televised Pot In History

    Here is a link to the article:http://www.pokernetwork.com/news/durrrr-vs...ed-pot12874.htmIt is probably one of the most popular poker television shows and this season is even better than those that preceded it! The fourth season of Full Tilt Poker's Million Dollar Cash Game has wrapped up filming in London and trust me its reputation as one of the world’s richest cash games is still intact! This year’s series which was filmed by Emblaze Productions, has many talking points. This include a pot of more than $1.1 million– the largest pot in television poker history!Million Dollar Cash Game features some of the greatest poker players on the face of the planet, each of whom must put up at least $100,000 of their own money to compete in this invitation-only event. Some of the heavy hitters who sit down at the felt in this season include Team Full Tilt superstars Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Gus Hansen, Mike Matusow, Allen Cunningham and Patrik Antonius, along with high-stakes online sensation Tom “durrrr” Dwan.The action is thick and fast, with early highlights including a massive pot between online heavyweight counterparts Antonius and Dwan. These two regularly play head-to-head at the highest stakes available online at Full Tilt Poker. Both players put all of their chips into the pot before even seeing a flop with Dwan holds pocket aces against the pocket kings of Antonius. The flop brought a king for Antonius, giving him a set and a lead in the hand. No help came for Dwan on the turn or river, and a massive pot of more than $500,000 was won by Antonius. This just goes to show you that the sick beats aren’t just reserved for online. They happen in live games too!Most players might be left a little shell-shocked after such a catastrophic turn of events but not Dwan, who is used to the massive swings of fortune that are part of the high-stakes lifestyle. The young superstar battled his way back out of the red by winning a half-million dollar pot versus Cyril Mouly, a regular high-stakes player online at Full Tilt Poker.The action then moved to three-handed play. Now I know some players who think that they have a greater edge when the play is three-handed, but tell me if you still like playing when the guys left on the table are Dwan, Antonius and Ivey? These three juggernauts are perhaps the three most prolific high-stakes players in the world, the blinds were at a whopping $1,000/$2,000 with a $200 ante. All told, there was more than $2.2 million on the table.James Hopkins, Managing Director of Emblaze Productions, said “After almost 20 hours of play, other players stepped aside as the Million Dollar Cash Game turned shorthanded. Three of the world’s elite players; Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius and Tom Dwan, started playing blinds of $1k, $2. It was great to watch.Anyone who has ever watched Dwan play will not be surprised to see that when he was first to act he raised it up, only to be re-raised by Phil Ivey from the small blind. Patrik Antonius could smell something brewing and quickly got out of the way, Dwan made the call.With nearly $60k already in the pot, the flop came Qclubs 3diams 5clubs. Ivey kept the aggression going and lead out with a bet of $40,000, Dwan made the call. The 4hearts hit the turn, and it was as if New Years Eve had come early, as the fireworks started going off.Ivey continued with his aggressive line and bet again, only to see Dwan put in a massive raise, making it more than $240k to go. Faced with a monumental decision, Ivey went into the tank for several minutes. His body motionless and his eyes darting around in that classic Ivey style as he debated his options. Finally, Ivey said the two words that Dwan had been waiting to hear, “All in.”Dwan double-fist-pump-snap-called away the rest of his chips without a moment’s hesitation, revealing 6hearts 7hearts for the nut straight. A heart-broken Ivey revealed Aclubs 2hearts, good for a straight, but not good enough to win the hand. With Ivey completely dead, the meaningless J hearts fell on the river, making Tom “durrrr” Dwan the winner of more than $1.1 million – the largest pot ever to be won on a televised poker show. I mean if anyone was going to win a $1.1 million dollar pot it was always going to be Dwan right?Full Tilt Poker's Million Dollar Cash Game will be aired on Sky Sports in the UK in January 2010, and will be released around the rest of the world very shortly after. It features commentary from Full Tilt Poker pro Robert Williamson III, an expert high-stakes poker player.

    Adios, AlvaradoJ.C. Alvarado was all in before the flop holding everyone's favorite go-broke hand, {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}. Action came from Chris Bjorin who held {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}, racing for the knockout.The flop was no fun for J.C., and the board ran out {9-Spades} {Q-Spades} {6-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} to spell his demise. With his pair of queens, Bjorin knocks off Alvarado and chips up to 460,000.

    Antics at Red 103Upon rolling up to table 103 in the red section, Greg Raymer was hanging out chatting with Lou Diamond Phillips, Scott Seiver, and a few of the other players. Here's some of the quotes from the area.Player - "Greg! Greg! You know what I wanna do? I wanna sit at the feature table with you, but have Hellmuth sandwiched between us. We can just jam it in and piss him off and then turn around and say things to his wife."Raymer - "I'd just shove on Hellmuth because he doesn't want to get in with a flip."Seiver - "Yeah, but there's the extra EV of sending Hellmuth on tilt."Raymer - "I run so bad in the Main Event."Joe Sebok - "Wow, this is where the party is. Even Raymer is here, this must be the jump off!"Photographer - "I'm only shooting world champs, movie stars, and big boobs."

    I didn't realize these were starting so early in the day and I'm in the mountain time zone. Basically, I didn't really read the OP, eh whatever, my bad. I don't want anyone to think I'm being all 'dscoot' here, but I can't help but to complain about having to set an alarm on Sunday just to make the first starting round. LAME-O
    The first tourney starts at 3am Monday morning for me here in Australia[ ] Dedicated[x] Degen
