Title: Lairy Londoner O'Leary Lords it over Caesars? Post by: tikay on July 10, 2008, 06:18:43 PM Last time I looked, there were about 11 players left in the Caesars Biggie, the Final of which is today. Kevin O'Leary had massive chips at the 20 player stage - more than the Final-Table Average, I think. He had 3,500,000 before the penultimate level. 1,162 runners, at $1,000 a head, with a 25k starting stack. The First Prize is, I think, $272,000. Bruce Atkinson might still be in - he was certainly in the last two Tables. Bo Schledst (sp) busted 13th. Go Kev! Title: Re: Lairy Londoner O'Leary Lords it over Caesars?

Title: Re: Lairy Londoner O'Leary Lords it over Caesars? Post by: Chompy on July 10, 2008, 06:59:34 PM That's nothing, I ploughed through 150-odd runners to finish second in the Velocity last night. I plan to reinvest my profits in tonight's Five-O.

Class player, has been so for years. Barnet slightly less dodgy these days too, if the evidence of tikay's diary is anything to go by Title: Re: Lairy Londoner O'Leary Lords it over Caesars?

Yup, one will be consuming one's packed lunch. Seriously, the plan/idea - not sure if I can pull it off - is to get a "Big-Name" at the table - maybe Pete Costa if the circumstances permit.

Post by: Claw75 on July 10, 2008, 07:14:53 PM Barnet slightly less dodgy these days too, if the evidence of tikay's diary is anything to go by this was how the barnet used to look back when I knew him in a previous life - I doubt it's ever been quite that dodgy since :) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/clairep75/ko.jpg) Title: Re: Lairy Londoner O'Leary Lords it over Caesars? Post by: Chompy on July 10, 2008, 07:16:31 PM Rofl, you think I'm worried about Peter Costa having last night seen off the likes of Nevster, MikeOxard and Bull-Dozer? Bring him on I say.
Me too, good luck to Kevin O'Leary. Title: Re: Lairy Londoner O'Leary Lords it over Caesars? Post by: Pab on July 10, 2008, 10:27:39 PM gl lovejoy

Title: Re: Lairy Londoner O'Leary Lords it over Caesars? Post by: Lovejoy on July 14, 2008, 11:07:15 PM Proof that literally anyone can win a poker tournament...or as one wag said to me yesterday"well played, you must have had a lot of f******* aces and kings!"
Many thanks to all for text, facebook emails and general good natured piss-taking. It was a surreal 3 days, and obviously I am very happy. Going to try the next big step in poker which involves geting out of Vegas with some of the loot still intact. I expect a fair chunk of it to go on hair dye, and the remainder on research into why old people colour their hair blonde and talk crap, sometimes for money ;tk; Special thanks to my good mates Julian Thew and Rob Garfield who sweated me through the final, the lows when I lost 6 million with Ahrt Ad allin preflop 2nd hand in, the highs when I survived an allin with Js 8d with 2 people furiously trying to knock me out of the comp, and the eventual satisfaction and knowledge that sometimes it all works out. Both these guys knew me when I was poor, and luckily for them I probably will be again in about 3 weeks time. Again, many thanks for the messages. I'll be giving at least a grand back in the Luton GUKPT. Kevin Title: Re: Lairy Londoner O'Leary Lords it over Caesars? Post by: Chompy on July 14, 2008, 11:10:41 PM Well done from me too by the way. Was tracking your progress in the WSOP event in which you finished 18th as well. Another pleasing run. See you in Luton next month.
