Title: Skintz Scoops a SCOOP
Post by: TightEnd on May 11, 2011, 09:25:17 AM
Skintz = Tall Anon

Or Pete Linton, as he used to be known

SCOOP Event #8-Medium ($109 NLHE turbo) results

1. power_up45 ($23,000)*
2. DuckPower89 ($44,500)*
3. Skintz ($56,500)*
4. joejoe1337 ($20,000)*
5. ryanmack91 ($25,000)*
6. 2outerjames ($22,118.26)*
7. cocosbeen ($42,000)*
8. krc321 ($17,783.41)*

*= reflects an eight-way deal that left $3,000 and the champion's watch for the winner


Well done sir.

The scenes outside DTD for the cash games tonight are a sight to behold this morning

I heard that Stars actually credited $565,000 to his account by mistake but he withdrew it before they noticed.

It was maybe the most hilarious deal negotiations Ive ever seen.  3 or 4 players just obv happy to lock up a decent amount were agreeing to anything, a few pushing for more.  Joejoe asked for 20k despite having 5bbs, insta got it, then a couple of the other smaller stacks started asking for more, they eventually got it, one guy asked for 25k and got it and then when they were confirming numbers, a guy with the same stack noticed he is getting a few k less and then he wants more.  The shorty, 1 SB behind Joejoe then offers to drop to 17k to help get it done lol.

I think in the M and L events someone with experience can really get a great deal on a chop.
