If there was ever a tourney to be laddering the FT of, this has to be it Title: Re: wsop final table Post by: bhoywonder on November 09, 2008, 11:37:42 PM depends if you are playing for eight or the win True, but with $400k difference between 9th and 8th I know what I'd be doing. If there was ever a tourney to be laddering the FT of, this has to be it Would ICM say fold there with 77 small stack in EP....hard to get into peoples heads but im folding here to ladder up,but maybe he was going for the win which is fair enough Title: Re: wsop final table Post by: Horneris on November 09, 2008, 11:42:11 PM Peter Eastgate FTMFW.
Title: Re: wsop final table Post by: duncthehat on November 09, 2008, 11:43:05 PM Yeah i reckon my heart would say shove but my head would say play for eighth.

Title: Re: wsop final table Post by: redsimon on November 10, 2008, 10:25:00 AM I think the idea was to give the players and ESPN a big gap for post production today and prep before Heads Up.
Go Eastgate be great if PH no longer youngest ME bracelet holder :) Title: Re: wsop final table Post by: GreekStein on November 10, 2008, 12:49:43 PM Really happy to see these two heads up - nice to have a non - Yang/Gold/Moneymaker type champion this year and someone with real game.

I might have imagined it but I thought it was something like that?

Title: Re: wsop final table Post by: dino1980 on November 12, 2008, 06:06:17 PM I read somewhere he only had 20% of his action anyway. AFAIK that was Demidov, he was backed for 23 prelim WSOP events and WSOPE by a backer on an 80-20 basis. He was $150k in the hole prior to WSOP apparently.

Title: Re: wsop final table Post by: rossfourfive on November 12, 2008, 06:16:33 PM Whats the crack with winning money in the US if you're a British Citizen then? Does it get taxed at the top tier rate or does it fall into a different category?

Does it get taxed at the top tier rate or does it fall into a different category? We have tax treaty with the US, so your winning should be taxed under Uk tax policy. So we should pay nothing as poker is non taxable, you do have to jump through some hoops to be exempt. Title: Re: wsop final table Post by: swish on November 12, 2008, 08:46:52 PM On a side note to the tax talk, just seen the final two episodes of this year's ESPN coverage on pokertube - after waiting all this time to hold the final table, to then not show it live, or at least on delay was bad enough, but on top of that only 2 hands of HU play were shown! 2 hands from what was apparently over 4 hours of play.

Yeah, I realised I'd got them mixed up after I posted it, but too late for me to delete it without people who'd already read it thinking 'that AndrewT is trying to remove evidence of his mistakes'.
