Title: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: The Camel on July 28, 2006, 02:57:40 AM Just for kicks and good times, who do you reckon will go deep in the main event starting tomorrow?
How about five picks each? My famous five: Phil Ivey Erik Seidel Shane Schleger Stuart Fox Garry Bush Best of luck to nearly all the Brits out there... Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: Royal Flush on July 28, 2006, 03:21:48 AM Best of luck to nearly all the Brits out there... LOL Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: MrMoves on July 28, 2006, 04:05:14 AM I back myself in every event I play, otherwise what's the point? So, me. :)
However, I just saw Ron Jeremy registering at The Rio. I'm told he is known for his raises. They say aggression pays so, Ron is my second choice. Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: MrMoves on July 28, 2006, 04:13:08 AM 3rd choice - John Gale.
Sorry can't think of any others, jet lagged. 4th choice - Magnus Swedishnus 5th choice - Mustapha Lottaluck Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: Colchester Kev on July 28, 2006, 04:35:19 AM I dont know why but i really fancy a strong european showing here...
Top Brit ? i will go for Ram Vaswani and Pab :) I reckon a young scandie will win it though. Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here...

Top Brit ? i will go for Ram Vaswani and Pab :) I reckon a young scandie will win it though. Someone told me Ram has never made the money in a $10k tournament. An amazing stat. Does that mean he's not good at multi day tournaments or that he's overdue a huge run in the biggest tournie of all? Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here...

Ram. Marcel Luske.. Rob Hollink (I assume he's playing) that's about it. Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: Karabiner on July 28, 2006, 09:08:05 AM Okay, I'll have a go. Are you back home now Keith, and is a quarterly blog entry imminent ?

Post by: Sark79 on July 28, 2006, 09:54:54 AM I think it will be an unknown player. Out of the faces, I would say the young American player Jeff Madsen looks on form right now. I would prefer matt, pab or any of the other Blodites to win it. I am going to look at the list, there are a lot of Blondes playing this year ( I have forgotten names to mention, but I include all of you in my wishes for a winner ). Good luck Blondites :)up

Post by: thetank on July 28, 2006, 10:51:17 AM Some psycho, coke-sniffing, pool hustling, self proclaimed degenerate, yankee doodle dandy I met in the Tilted Kilt last night to win the thing. (Cannae mind his name, mighta been Bob.)
Mad gambler, had $20k on Brazil to beat France. Doesn't really follow "soccer" but apparently he can't get to sleep unless he's punted money on something. I politely declined his offer to play for $200 a ball. If he potted first, I mighta been a bit short for my taxi. :D Dale to finish 2nd. 8) Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here...

Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: AlrightJack on July 28, 2006, 04:53:11 PM OK, here's my five. All of them are Brits. While this may seem daft, I'd rather pick people I would be happy to see win than any of the Yanks (although I would be happy for Brian if he won)
1. Stuart Fox - running well over here 2. Lord Wernick - not running well, but due some luck 3. Jim Kerrigan - very suited to large fields and not phased by the size of the buy in, cashed well in the $1,500 a couple of days ago 4. Bhupinder Kholi - 2 cashes out of three so far, including the Razz, which was the first time he had played it as a tournament. 5. Any of the 5 Blue Square online qualifiers - Gwion Jones, John Exley, Tyrone Kerrigan, Paul Vicary and Tony Palester. Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: Teacake on July 28, 2006, 08:16:19 PM 1. Phil Helmuth 2. John Juanda 3. David Williams 4. Marcel Luske 5. Mike Matusow Wow that was 4 of my shortlist, (I didn't have Williams) I reckon that gives me another 5 to pick from :D 1 Padraig Parkinson 2 Roland de Wolfe 3 Patrick Antonius 4 Phil Ivey 5 Conor Tate "Sealey" Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here...

greg raymer phil ivey local welsh boy romanello (swansea) jeff masden (in form) young kid 21 he got a few wsop braclets thi year. Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: Hairydude on July 29, 2006, 11:26:01 AM Cant believe nobodys mentioned allen Cunningham- he's had a great world series so far with 5 cashes and one 1st place finish in a no limit event with 750 players,
I notice a lot of people are putting unknown qualifiers and by all probability it will be 5 unkowns in the top 5, but I thought it was 5 top pro known players we were meant to put who we think will go the furthest?!?!?!? 1. Allen Cunningham 2. John Gale 3. Barry Greenstein 4. Todd Brunson 5. John Pham I dont think Doyle, Ivey or Helmuth will get there as I think players will be constantly gunning for them simply cuz they'll want to be able to say they outplayed one of the greats- obivously they can put that in there favour but eventually a bad beat will come along Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: vegaslover on July 29, 2006, 11:56:18 AM Greg Raymer - Lots of people dont like his play but he knows how to pick up pots in the main event
Phil Hellmuth - Having a good WSOP, if he keeps a lid on things will go deep. Phil Ivey - Similar to Raymer, always picking pots off weaker players Marcel Luske - Always does well at these events Pardraig Parkinson - Been deep in a few already and really up for it this year. Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: BigTomatoes on July 29, 2006, 05:37:12 PM we had a sweep in the local club for this. 1. Phil Hellmuth 2. John Juanda 3. Chris ' Jesus ' Ferguson 4. Phil Ivey 5. Erik Seidel. Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here...

Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: Sark79 on July 30, 2006, 02:33:13 PM Me of course,,, obvious really!! 8) I inlcude all the Blondes in my want to win choices. Out of the non Blondes it has to be Daniel Negreanu becasue he seems likes a nice bloke. Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here...

Post by: Sark79 on August 09, 2006, 11:17:57 AM Right from before the WSOP began, I had my bet on a guy called Jamie Gold. He was the obvious choice for me. I also thought that somewhere in the top 10 would be- Allen Cunningham, Richard Lee, Paul Wasika, Doug Kim and Erick Friberg. It was so obvious, I am surprsied nobody else thought these guys would do it. ;D
Title: Re: pick the wsop main event winner here... Post by: Sark79 on August 09, 2006, 11:20:46 AM Who's in the top 10 anyway, I haven't looked. I think I will vist CardPlayer and see if any of these guys made the top 10 like I predicted. :D
