Antonio and Ivey FT'ing would be so so epic.

 

[switch0723]

winner of the final table will be whoever is on the left of lacay obv

 

[Cdub512]

If Ivey, Esfandiari, and Katchalov can make the final table, that would be so cool! Especially Ivey I hope he wins it. He is the best player in the world in my opinion.

katchalov is out

 

[Ozzington]

Really hope Esfandiari takes it down. He's one of my favourite players..

Lacay got great seating today, he got position on Ivey. Not sure how thing's progressed, but promising for him.


Woah. Was going to toss some support behind ElkY but found out he busted today

Why would you check an over pair to Phil Ivey?

Ivey Cracks Ward's Kings
Joseph Ward raised to 205,000 from under the gun, and it folded around to Phil Ivey who called from the small blind. The flop came

If Ivey can pull this off, it would be an epic win for him and all of the pro's. It would basically confirm he is the best player in the world.(Which i already think he is)

There is nothing wrong at all with how ward played this, probably played it perfectly tbh

 

[Munchrs]

they quit after 3 the other 2 times didnt they?

 

[OzExorcist]

I can't comprehend the awesomeness of Ivey FT'ing this

Mike Matusow can - apparently he's got some bets with Andy Bloch. $1000 at 100-1 that Ivey wins, and 10-1 that Ivey makes the final table. Sounds like it was made a few days ago, but this has been the Twitter conversation in the past hour:

Mike Matusow: Dear andy rule #1 in life never bet against people not born on earth a.k.a phil ivey

Mike Matusow: Dear andy is it true your car was spotted heading toward the lake if so turn around please

Andy Bloch: Too hot to visit the dam right now, maybe I'll go in November. lol

Andy Bloch: settle bets for $10k?

Mike Matusow: Dear andy 10k lol told u if u read my books stay off drugs dude 30k for all bets ill think about

Go Ivey Go.

 

[Mortis]

Hehe, Ivey in 2nd

 

[GeoffLacey]

Hehe, Ivey in 2nd

At like 13m or so I believe.

So frustrating that we gotta wait till November to see the FT...

And 29 left... 2 more out and it goes to the next day.

But they're on a 90-minute break for dinner.

 

[JOEBOB69]

thx mortis

 

[Mortis]

I'm not sure Antonio's gonna make it to the final table. He's currently in last place (28 out of 28) with 1.3 million chips.

 

[vanquish]

antonio bounced back to > 4 mil, let's epic antonio vs ivey heads up 4 main event bracelet

 

[Munchrs]

Antonio made it back to a little over 4mill chips. Ivey in 4th atm. 27 left cant wait for tomorrow!

 

[Munchrs]

antonio bounced back to > 4 mil, let's epic antonio vs ivey heads up 4 main event bracelet

would that be good or bad for poker?

 

[vanquish]

would that be good or bad for poker?

i think it'd be worse than some hilarious loveable trucker, but better than two unknown midstakes/highstakes pro-types with no personality like eastgate

 

[Dorkus Malorkus]

rooting for ivey, the chick, or some hilarious lovable trucker, in that order.

 

[Munchrs]

yea i think it has to be one one end of the extreme otherwise people are just like
nerd won wsop .... blank.

instead of guy whos last name is moneymaker who paid $40 and won $2.5mill in WSOP

or

Hey that guy that everyone is saying is amazing at poker, phill ivey, the best player in the world won the WSOP. Poker must be game of skill.

pokerstars lays out the atm, cha-ching for them. cha-ching for solid regs. cha-ching for lucky donk who wins sunday mill. cha-ching coz it sounds cool. cha-ching cha-ching because two is better than one.
