The play today was at such an impressive level..even the very opionated Annette Obrestad paid homage to the quality of the final table. Thank god we introduced the runners up heat into this event because I doubt there was anyone who wanted / deserved this Title so much. Congrats and enjoy! Title: Re: Aisling, Jen & Maria all ready for the final! Post by: Ismene on May 27, 2009, 09:12:33 PM TY guys for all of your support - it means more than i can say right now - I'm sure the proper words will come later - but Ty Ty Ty! And although Ben couldn't be there, judging by Turny's dead battery I'm sure he will get the blow by blow account the second he arrives ;-)
i think i finally relaxed in the final - and sort of "remembered / found" my game after two shockers. Maria and Jen were uber unlucky the cards just weren't falling for them - but i have to say it was a complete honour to share a table with them. However, Maria i think you're gna owe me a tenner - my exit interview was of the incredibly strong Stilton variety! There is no way you could of outcheesed me! - Obv will bow to the judging of Miss Mason tho ;-) Just want to say a huge thank you to all the guys at Party Poker and Matchroom who were possibly the most adorable and professional bunch of people you could ever hope to meet. They definitely took care of me and for that I'm incredibly grateful. Annette and Jessie rule! Once again TY! and WOW! Title: Re: Aisling, Jen & Maria all ready for the final!

She played THREE of those STT things to get the top spot and I think i remember Annette saying, "I love Aisling!" at one point (I wouldn't let my mum leave the green room). I thoroughly enjoyed my level and a half, and if 80% equity isn't enough, then whatever is? I hope you turn that into bankroll, Ling :)

Title: Re: Aisling, Jen & Maria all ready for the final! Post by: tikay on May 29, 2009, 12:24:53 PM From PokerNews....... BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT AS COLLINS WINS WORLD TITLE! WOOKA ACHIEVEMENT FOR JAPANESE POKER! Press Release London -- 28th May 2009 – 28-year-old Aisling Collins, a television producer from Rickmansworth in the UK scooped $50,000 and the title at the http://www.partypoker.com/ Women’s World Open III in London! Collins, whose aggressive game impressed everybody enthralled by the tournaments strongest ever final table, was in complete shock and there were nearly tears as the gravity of her achievement sunk in. “I was so, so nervous going into this tournament but after a while I found it easy to relax and play my natural game,” said Collins. “To win this tournament means absolutely everything to me. My previous biggest poker win was in the region of $8k so this is amazing. I’m in shock, it is fantastic to win $50,000 – I just don’t know what I am going to do with it yet! One thing I do know I am going to do is get some Christian Louboutin shoes. I saw Jennifer Tilly’s and they were great!” Collins, who has produced educational programming for Sky Poker alongside the likes of leading professional players Roland De Wolfe, Neil Channing and Marty Smyth, is also a talented online player with the potential to progress in the game, either side of the camera. She had a large fan base sweating her in the green room, on the tv show and on the online forums. She is a prominent member of the Blonde Poker Community and a member of ‘Shrewdies on Tour,’ a stable of Blonde online players led by UK pro James ‘Flushy’ Dempsey. Collins credits UK figurehead Tony ‘Tikay’ Kendall with introducing her to the game and, naturally, all the Blonde members were delighted. “The Shrewdies went on tour to Vegas for the WSOP yesterday,” said Tikay. “They were on a flight until 9pm last night so when they landed there were messages flying around everywhere. We’re all thrilled for Ling.” Collins doesn’t intend to join her friends in Vegas, however, despite the fact that she is $50,000 better off! “It’s back to my day job,” said Collins. Aisling was involved in a tense heads-up battle with Japan’s Kim Wooka and there were a number of swings either way before Collins came out on top. It always seemed as though Aisling was going to emerge triumphant, however. When heads-up play started Collins held a 450,000/250,000 advantage but Wooka soon clawed her way back. The decisive hand came when the blinds were 10,000/20,000. Aisling raised to 70,000 with Jd 5d and was called by Kim with Qh 10d. The flop came down Jc Kd 9d and Kim checked. Collins raised another 70,000 and Wooka went all-in. Collins calls and the 6d on the turn gives her the flush and victory! 28-year-old Wooka is a professional poker player from Osaka in Japan and was playing in her first major tournament in Europe. She was Japanese Ladies Champion in 2007 and cashed at the WSOP last year. She was invited to the tournament by the organizers after the Asian Poker Tour Manila back in January. “I wanted to win but I have to give credit to Aisling – she certainly wasn’t afraid to move all-in,” said Wooka. “This has been a great experience for me and fantastic exposure. Poker is just beginning in Asia – it is so important at this early stage to advertise a good image and emphasise the skill in the game.” PartyPoker.com is currently offering online qualifiers to the Asian Poker Tour Macau, more details can be found at http://www.partypoker.com/news/items/apt_macau_2009.html Collins showed brilliant spirit and superb skill during the tournament and her aggressive play meant she had one star fan in the form of poker prodigy Annette Obrestad, who was in the commentary box. Aisling finished second place in her heat and only won her way through to the final through the last gasp runner’s up table. In that heat she was so dominant in taking out last year’s champion Soraya Homam that many regarded her as favourite at the start of the seven seat final table. Collins had two good friends on the final table in the form of Jen Mason and Maria Demetriou, both of whom have reached the final table in this event in previous years. How did she feel about busting them? “I treat my buddies well,” said a joking Collins. The final table was the strongest in the event’s history. Jen Mason reached the final table of this tournament in its inaugural running in 2007, finishing second to Beverley Pace but, surprisingly, was first to exit even though she was one of those fancied to triumph. Out in sixth was Cat O’Neill from Belfast, who was put forward for the tournament by WSOP bracelet holder, Poker Million and PartyPoker.com World Open winner Marty Smyth. Fifth place belonged to the popular Maria ‘Chili’ Demetriou, who was gunning for a top three finish to give her a Vegas bankroll but she fell victim to her buddy Collins on a tear-up. Next to go was Cecilia Nordenstam, who has for a long time been one of the most glamorous figures on the Swedish circuit but also a deadly player as she showed in her heat. Cecilia cashed in her first five WPT events and put on a great show here. As the table went three handed Collins had 306,000, Shana Casaletto had 254,000 and Wooka 140,000. Brighton’s Casaletto, however, was the next to go. She was expected to run deep in this tournament after recently winning back-to-back GUKPT side events but fell victim to lady of the moment Collins. This left Collins and Wooka to fight it out. Full details about all the hands can be found at http://www.matchroompokerforum.co.uk/ A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: “Aisling was a fantastic and deserving winner and overall we were delighted with the great final table. Japan’s Kim Wooka is also a brilliant runner-up – there is little doubt that she is one to watch out for in the future. Britain’s got talent but so does Japan!” Eddie Hearn, Director of Matchroom Sport said: “As the Voice of Poker Jesse May said, the final table is not where champions meet it’s where champions are born and no one deserved the title more than Aisling. She was drawn in arguably the toughest heat and then had to come through the gruelling runners-up heat before taking down the final table. The standard throughout the whole tournament was simply stunning.” The Women’s World Open III was a Matchroom Sport organized tournament that saw 36 players from around the world battle it out for a $108,000 prize pool in the $3,000 buy-in event.
