yeffy 0 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Just wanted to toot my own horn. I played in the FTP "Pieces of Pros" tourney yesterday. Outlasted 465 players to take home $12,500. I also get 10% of whatever Jesus takes home in the main event. Woohoo go Chris!Thanks to everyone cheering me on at the final table. I don't know if any of you are on here but it helped to have all those folks in my corner. Link to post Share on other sites

Each event is for a different pro. There is a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool (which they didn't cover with entries...thank you added money) and then everyone who makes the final table gets 1% and the winner gets 10% of that weeks pro's take in the main event.Next week is Howard Lederer and the following week is Phil Ivey.

Sushiman 0 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 This is an extremely awesome and novel idea. Kudos to FTP for putting it into effect. I would imagine there will be tons of people trying to get a piece of Ivey. Link to post Share on other sites
zimmer4141 0 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Very nice job man! I took 3rd last week for $5625 and 1% of Layne Flack, and took 9th a month ago for $1000 and 1% of Clonie Gowen. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesZS 0 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Holy shit, 10% in the main event. That's awesome. As long he makes the money you're going to get more than another $1k, that will be nice.I'm sure you're hoping he does better than that. Link to post Share on other sites

Â I took 3rd last week for $5625 and 1% of Layne Flack, and took 9th a month ago for $1000 and 1% of Clonie Gowen.Clonie Gowen? I thought they just trotted her out for tv poker because she was hot. Does she have a good record of cashes at the WSOP? Link to post Share on other sites
jsdastud 0 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I dont think she has cashed yet this year. the only event i have ever seen her to ok at is blind man's bluff last year. HAHA Link to post Share on other sites

wolfpacker 0 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 - I watched your final table, and played some omaha with you later in the night, just wanted to say congratulations, you played great and deserved to win, maybe you could take 10% of Lederer or Ivey too, now wouldn't that be an awesome main event for you (not that it already isn't) - A sidenote, this is one of the smartest promotions any poker sight has ever done, along with their Bracelet races, and nightly tourneys in which you can win money from whatever the pros win the next day Full Tilt is doing a terrific job of making the online players even more interested in the WSOP Link to post Share on other sites
yeffy 0 Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 Thanks Wolfpacker and everyone else. Of course I'm hoping Chris can go deep again this year. The chances of a repeat championship are really slim...but if he did take it down. $750,000 for me doing absolutely nothing. A 6600:1 chance (and I think he has a bit of an ovelay against the field) is much better than the lottery. Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk21 0 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 10 percent? WOW If Jesus Wins the estimated 10 million first place youll be a millionaire!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

I put you on either big cards or an overpair. I flopped a pair and an open ender. I went for the check raise hoping you would just lay it down since we were getting close to the end. I figured you could only call with an overpair and if you did that I would have 14 outs against you. As it turned out you had the only hand I didn't want to see 99 taking two of my straight outs and giving you a gutshot to my draw for a 2nd pair. With any other hand I have 14 and we are 1:1 but yeah I was in worse shape with 8 outs and a 2.2:1 dog. I did get lucky, but that was my only lucky draw out the whole tourney. The beat against gummo was sick it turned my stomach a bit. But remember I did double you up with 10 10 vs. your JJ to give you a nice push I was covered by 3:1 when we got down to 4 and battled hard. SheDevil and I played heads up for like 45 minutes with the lead changing 4 times! It was intense.Again sorry for the beat Bram you played outstanding. I have to miss Howard's next week, but I'll see you for the Ivey one. Link to post Share on other sites

I can't think of anyone that full tilt was selling pieces of that I'd rather have the Fergeson ( where they selling pieces of Ivey?). I wonder if full tilt pays it out, of if the pro has to cough up 10 percent of his winnings? with jesus, I guess it doesn't matter one way or the other, since he is Mr Full Tilt...

zimmer4141 0 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Just wondering for all who were at the final table, was there some idiot named eyedea who was an observer talking shit? He was there last week claiming how he busted Phil Ivey back in AC. He was also at the other one I did well in a month ago. Link to post Share on other sites
CardKillah 0 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Too bad they weren't selling a piece of Evelyn Ng... (yum, yum ....oh, right, for poker, yes, right, that's it....... Link to post Share on other sites

He was there last week claiming how he busted Phil Ivey back in AC. He was also at the other one I did well in a month ago.There were a lot of people yapping I didn't pay close attention to what was being said. Once it got heads up people were fighting about who should win, why they are better than us, how bad we were, how good we were etc. etc. I tuned most of it out but did appreciate the snippets of support that I caught. When we were four handed and I was in 3rd some girl was addamently proclaining that I would win, guess she was right...ty pooh something (don't remember the exact name).To the other poster the buy-in was $100 but I won a $14 sattelite...decent parlay I would say.
