Nimbletoe 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I'd go with the master if he had even a slightly bigger stack, but with the WPT blinds it's hard to go against a solid player like Van Alstyne with that stack. Link to post Share on other sites

Steamed Rice 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Im just playing with ya man relaxwould like to see men the master take it, but since he probably wont ill go with van alstyne Link to post Share on other sites
cu in 4years Dan 1 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 men is just the master, he may be short stacked but he plays it well. and when he gets chips hes a gun...STEWIE FOR GOVENOR!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Bubba83 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The Master has no shot unless he causes a chip collision while obstructing security cameras. James Van Alstyne has been playing great all tournament long and has been getting there in a lot of the other events but getting unlucky late. Link to post Share on other sites

KingJames 11 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I'd just like to add that I think it's great that Men Nguyen made this final table. He is obviously a very talanted tournament player. I feel that he caught a lot of flack over his POY win last year and there were a lot of "Oh... he plays so many small tournies..." type complaints. To FT the (arguably) 2nd most prestigious tournament of the year is a great way for him to back up the POY award.Back to the real topic... I'm going with David Matthew for no reason at all.James Link to post Share on other sites

The rule that both players must turn up their cards when one is all-in is because of him. He puts a lot of his "students" in the tourneys and they chip-dump to him. Link to post Share on other sites
doublemeup 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I think David Matthew is gonna win. Why? He has 2 first names which gurantees a win. Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The last time I saw van alstyne as chip leader in a tourney he did a really good job of managing his big stack and cruising to 1st. I think it was on poker royale. Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was on poker royale.no man he won the ultimate poker challenge and 3rd at a circuit event. He is good but i think men will make the greatest come back in wpt history for the win.

My opinion is worthless in this matter, but I really have very little respect for him even if only 1% of the accusations are true. Link to post Share on other sites

That rule is because of him? I'm not doubting you, just curious if you have a link or something about where you got that information? Link to post Share on other sites

Swift_Psycho 1 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Well, as long as we're posting updates...Joe Bartholdi $10,265,000David Matthew $8,750,000Claus Nielsen $6,705,000James Van Alstyne $2,455,000Roland De Wolfe $1,845,000Looks like Van Alstyne has some work to do if he wants to get back all those chips he lost.

Incubus77546 0 Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 It really seems like Joe and David are running this table and Claus is holding his own. James lost a huge pot to Joe and Roland is really needing a good double up or even triple up at this point...Edit - Hand #27 - David Matthew has the button and James Van Alstyne moves all in. Roland De Wolfe calls all in for $1,765,00 with Kh-Kc and Van Alstyne flips over Ks-6s. The flop comes 9h-7d-5s and Van Alstyne picks up a straight draw. The 5d comes on the turn and the river is the 3s. Roland De Wolfe has doubled up. James Van Alstyne is left with $10,000.James Van Alstyne Eliminated 5th ($439,375)Hand #28 - Joe Bartholdi has the button and James Van Alstyne is all in on the antes for his last $10,000 chip. Bartholdi raises to $600,000 and it is folded around. Van Alstyne flips over As-Kc and Bartholdi turns over Jh-10d. The board comes 7s-5d-4c-10s-9s and James Van Alstyne has been eliminated in 5th place. Link to post Share on other sites
