Title: Re: JON.,.,SKALIE.,.,KALMAR.,. MAKES FINAL TABLE WSOP Post by: spiny on July 16, 2007, 12:55:59 PM just spoke to kila (mrs kalmar). he's exhausted and elated. it's going to feel like a long wait for the final table, but my god what an acheivement.
two months ago jon told me that things were running so badly for him that he was considering going back to work in IT. looks like that plan is on the back burner now. i'm biased because he's my good friend.... but i reckon he deserves it. he's talented, humble and generous. not a bad combination IMHO... bring it home m8 Title: Re: JON.,.,SKALIE.,.,KALMAR.,. MAKES FINAL TABLE WSOP Post by: Muahahahaha on July 16, 2007, 01:01:32 PM Is it true that he'd packed to come home, before he won a satallite, then had to cancel his flight & unpack again ?

We met online 5 years ago when we finalled in the $100 at Laddies, he timed out, I tried to persuade the other guy to wait and he just kept nicking the blinds. Kal e mailed me to thank me, and we stayed in touch on line. At 2005 WSOP he offered me to share in his room, saved me $1000, then proceeded to roll me for a bit after a bad two weeks. Didnt ask for a penny back till we chopped the Prima $20k 9 months later. The guy is just one of the nicest people I have met on the poker scene, I will be spending my 36th birthday (today!) in Turkey, sat in the hotel lobby using wi fi rather than out on the lash. Bring it home mate Title: Re: JON.,.,SKALIE.,.,KALMAR.,. MAKES FINAL TABLE WSOP Post by: b4matt on July 16, 2007, 02:35:51 PM Seat 1 - Jon Kalmar - 20.32 million

Hevad "rain" Khan- Famous for his multitabling of SNG's on stars, but actually got totally owned in higher stakes sng's and dropped a bomb. Apparantly has a solid record in online MTT's Lee Watkinson is a name you know if you watched lots of TV poker, finished 2nd in 2 WPT and has a WSOP bracelet in Pot Limit omaha, he is definitley the live pro of this final table. Alex Kravchenko- Is a name i know but im not sure why, after a bit of digging he has a very good WSOP 07 winning a bracelet in omaha hi lo and a final table in HORSE. The rest are unknowns.

MAKES FINAL TABLE WSOP Post by: phinnies1 on July 17, 2007, 09:50:16 AM What can I say that has not already been said. I have had the pleasure of meeting this guy on a number of occasions and he really kcked off my game about 5 years ago after chatting to him at a live game about strategy and then via Email.
He is a super agressive player (a strategy that has been criticised if you read pokerplayer reports of day 6) who will be very hard to handle at the final table. I believe he knows how to play this situation, will have super guidance from the team supporting him and will play a fearless game. I really believe he deserves being bookies favourite and I for one will be immensely proud if he takes this one down. I will be cheering for you the whole way.....Do this one for the Brits Jon, may the poker gods shine on you, all your luck be good and your pots be monsters. Nick |
