Title: World Poker Open Post by: snoopy1239 on September 06, 2010, 02:45:26 PM Hey peeps. I'm currently at the Palm Beach covering the opening heat of the World Open. If you're intested, you can check it out here:
http://www.partypoker.com/blog/featured/world-open-vi-live-blog-updates.html (http://www.partypoker.com/blog/featured/world-open-vi-live-blog-updates.html) Heat 1 has the potential to be a good one: Seat 1: Sam Trickett Seat 2: James Akenhead Seat 3: Marty Smyth Seat 4: Neil Channing Seat 5: Peter Jetten Seat 6: Dan Fleyshman Seat 7: Ian Frazer Seat 8: Lee Atherton I think Lee Atherton is 'alfiesdad' on blonde, but not 100 percent.

Title: Re: World Poker Open Post by: snoopy1239 on September 06, 2010, 09:52:47 PM Sam Trickett took down Heat 1. We're now into Heat 2. The line-up is pretty impressive:
Seat 1: Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan Seat 2: Brandon Cantu Seat 3: Andrew Robl Seat 4: Dragan Galic Seat 5: Felipe Ramos Seat 6: Josh Gould Seat 7: Roland De Wolfe Seat 8: James Mitchell http://www.partypoker.com/blog/featured/world-open-vi-heat-2-live-blog-updates.html (http://www.partypoker.com/blog/featured/world-open-vi-heat-2-live-blog-updates.html) Title: Re: World Poker Open Post by: Sighmuns on September 07, 2010, 10:40:14 AM Didn't seat 5 manage Spurs at some point?
Title: Re: World Poker Open Post by: snoopy1239 on September 07, 2010, 12:53:54 PM Didn't seat 5 manage Spurs at some point? Tottenham in Brazil, maybe. Title: Re: World Poker Open Post by: The Camel on September 07, 2010, 04:55:59 PM These tv tournaments used to be good value.
By the looks of the lineups now, there is absolutely zero value these days. Why would anyone want to be play these? Added money ftw. Title: Re: World Poker Open Post by: snoopy1239 on September 07, 2010, 04:57:52 PM Line-up for Heat 3 after Andrew Robl took down Heat 2: Seat 1: Liam Flood Seat 2: John Duthie Seat 3: John Eames Seat 4: MB Mahmood Seat 5: Annette Obrestad Seat 6: Giovanni Safina Seat 7: David ‘Viffer’ Peat Seat 8: Barny Boatman http://www.partypoker.com/blog/featured/world-open-vi-heat-3-live-blog-updates.html (http://www.partypoker.com/blog/featured/world-open-vi-heat-3-live-blog-updates.html) Title: Re: World Poker Open Post by: snoopy1239 on September 07, 2010, 04:59:14 PM These tv tournaments used to be good value. By the looks of the lineups now, there is absolutely zero value these days. Why would anyone want to be play these? Added money ftw. Couldn't agree more, these are some of the toughest TV heats I've ever seen. Tomorrow's line-up is frightening. I imagine the main reason is profile and brand awareness.

It will either be on Channel 5 or some obscure Sky channel that noone watches. I would say ego was the motivating factor for the majority of players.

Title: Re: World Poker Open Post by: Hairydude on September 07, 2010, 11:00:11 PM But it will be shown/reported on other poker media such as pokertube etc so profile will increase in the poker community which let's be honest is the max poker players can hope for.... the mainstream don't know much about poker players...100% certain if I asked my mates who have no interest in poker who ivey, antonious, hellmuth etc were they wouldn't have a clue

Title: Re: World Poker Open Post by: NoflopsHomer on September 10, 2010, 08:35:59 PM Well done Trickett. He was incredibly gutted over his bad run at Vilamoura, but hopefully this has made up for it.
