LOL @ Blue and his hatred of AE. Used to dislike him myself. Not sure what changed my mind. Was cool to watch it all unfold. Respect to both, they played well.

WTG Antonio, I for one really like him. I like Trickett too though so would have been thrilled to see him win. And c'mon, $10M is nothing to cry over, I would consider that a win anyway.

My thought process as well.

 

[Matt Vaughan]

I assume both Antonio and Trickett did not put up the 1M themselves, so I wonder how much they'll actually get...

Yeah but typically people pay a little extra over what they are buying a piece of. So if I bought 1% of Antonio's buy-in I'd probably have spent more like 1.1% worth. Ie they are already making money just by selling pieces.

Be interesting to know the distribution though, if they had to cover part of the buy-in themselves.

 

[Debi]

Antonio tweeted last week that he was selling 40% - doubt the other 60 was all his though. Phil Helmuth only had 15% of himself.

 

[onemorechance]

Was always kinda anti-Antonio but I think that was more because of Laak than it was Antonio. Becoming pretty clear that Antonio is a very, very good live mtt player

 

[LarkMarlow]

Another Antonio-liker here, too. At first I was ambivalent about him, but he kinda grew on me. His articles in bluff Magazine every month are always a good read, revealing him to be an authentic, sincere guy. I can't begin to imagine how he's feeling today.

Glad to see that they're going to replay 2 hours of this tomorrow, now that I can get to ESPN (thanks, mootso!) through the back door.

Rich?

Caught some of it live here on tv just a shame it was so late - saw Tricketts quad 3s, thought probably wouldnt a better hand & so went to sleep

 

[lcid86]

It seemed they dragged the game out for TV. Some good poker, but lots of dead time for commercials and interviews.

Katie and Collin playing in the 1k today -gl to my friends!

 

[Colbefc]

Can't stand AE myself but congrats to them both.

LOL @ Blue and his hatred of AE. Used to dislike him myself. Not sure what changed my mind. .

For me I think it was listening to him doing commentary last year during wsop Live Stream. I like him & was cheering for him all along (next to Helmuth that is). Might also have something to do with not being able to stand Phil Laak.

I am on my ipad so can't copy the thread link - but just posted a thread about Sam Trickett getting the shit beat out of him. Will someone who uses twitter find his tweet and link it in that thread for me?

He is @Samtrickett1 in twitter.

That looks really lame. Please post any updates as to cause.

 

[fozziethebear]

Poker is now a full contact sport!

There is a separate thread about it.

 

[oacnaf]

Whoa that's crazy! Haha, that's not good tho.. that shouldnt happen.. Anyways, I really really enjoyed watching the one drop on ESPN3 (earlier in the day) then on ESPN at night.. That was one hell of a final table, just needed either Ivey or KidPoker himself to make it and it would have been over the top

Oh Jilly that's great! Here's hoping he makes the FT and we can cheer him on to victory for you while watching the stream.

Zac in day 1a

And the umbrella hat is in full view. ESPN tweeted about it with pic.

 

[onemorechance]

Hahah nice

When we reached the table, the board read {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{k-Spades}, and there was about 35,000 in the middle. Roman Valerstein checked, and Zach Hall moved all in for effectively 58,000. Valerstein folded {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} face up and Hall showed {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

"Wowwwwww," Valerstein blurted. "Why would you do that?"

Hall laughed, and raked in the pot, pushing his stack over 100,000 chips.

 

[beardyian]

Has that thing grown?
