Hi, my name is marc wright. Sold action here alot for online stuff, and recently for irish open where i busted 13th :-(

I think something clicked in ireland and i wana play more live stuff now.
Im looking to sell 40% @ 1.2 of the EPT main in berlin, probably day 1b on tuesday, but depending on flights etc, may play day 1a.

Can check graphs and such on my irish open thread.

buyin is 5,300 euros @ 1.2 is 6,360

10% is 636 (£525)

5%  is  318 (£262.50)

2.5% is 159 (£131.25)

1% is 63.60 (£52.50)

"What the f##k?" shouted Steven Thomsen after the dealer revealed his hand. He had shoved the river in a hand versus Marc Wright. Wright called and Thomsen mucked and got up to leave.

"Why did you showdown?" he continued to bellow.

A floor man was in attendance and told him they were the rules and he knew that. Thompsen was very angry still and stormed off.

Sorry just realised may have not been allowed to post that.

Delete if needed.

What were the cards for each? Obv if its an all in showdown cards on their backs?

No hole card information on update site.

Marcs FB just says "Won big pot, up to 380k at 1/2k. Guy couldn't take any more"

Beyne chiplead, marc #3.

God help the world if those two get on the same table.

What a hero!!

Awesome effort from Marc so far

QQ<<KK vs JP Kelly for the abs world.. Got 200K 1200/2400

Thats still plenty but Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke. So cold.

just had a chat with him on break, said he had 450k going into 2k/4k last level today

also chatted w JP who is on his table, i said that marks obviously a bit of a spazz monkey and JP said he thought he was playing really well. off to the pub now, no further updates from me

finished the day with 595,500.
played pretty good today, dont think i made many mistakes. Got coolerd vs JP for big pot, but apart from that it was pretty good day.
Going bk tomo at 2500/5k

Amazing stuff. You, Marc, are an animal.

Good luck tomorrow.

Great Stuff Mate

1.2mill by looks of it.

Anybody else checked the first post again to see if they really did miss out?

We are in danger of Marc Wright running away with this tournament as he is now up to 1,400,000 chips. He got his stack in with  Ahrt   8h  against the Slovakian electricity company owner Jan Bendik's  Ac 9c and by the river the board read  9s 3h Jc 9h 6h, gifting Wright a flush and eliminating Bendik.

YES! several times!

I've even tried to buy a piece off someone for 1.25 :(

They are down to  45 players. Even you should know no one will sell you their share at 1.25 lol

I always have a piece when he loses and never when he goes deep. Shock horror!

Lost 350k, back down to 1 Milli in chips. Still 2nd though.  :)

Wright now "crushing" up to 2.2 million! WOW

You need a bigger smiley face mate

What a hero. Gotta love the guy!

good luck tomorrow Mr Wright

Getting pretty std for Marc.

Could quadruple millidonks lifetime live poker earnings :)

Tomas Cibak is f mental as well. There will be fireworks.

out of interest, how much u think 1% is worth of my action at the moment, someone asked me what i would sell 1% for. if i win 1%  pays just over 8k

Yeh I was in Brighton when he came 2nd in ukipt. He 3 bets like a maniac- has the seat draw been done already? Will be pretty sick if Marc and this guy are in lose proximity

I would think at least £800 for 1% but then again I keep saying you are under selling yourself. If I had your talent I would have sold at £800 for 1% before the tourney had even started :)

I got offered £1500 for my 2.5%, not sure exactly how serious the offer was or whether it was a test of my faith but I Obv said gtfo. This is your time! Good Luck Sir.

Really pleased for both of you

just woke, feel terrible. shaking, feel sick, got worst headache i have ever had. feel like im gona throw up. fking marv, gona have a shower and go for a walk see if it helps :-(

brutal :(

Don't worry. 850k eeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwrohs will make you feel better. GET

Sit yourself down and get dealt some pretty looking cards when Beyne opens UTG1.

You'll be feeling fine in no time.

Best of luck.

Really good interview with our hero on Pokerstars blog before the start of todays play. Came across really well i reckon. Gogogogogoogogoooo Marc

http://www.pokerstars.tv/poker-channel-91-live-action.html

Lost CL pot. Guy getting steamed about being 3 bet so much, peels 3bet oop,
Gets K89dd, I got AK, him 88, down to like 1million :-(

Sick how he gets coolered when he actually has it

Was probably worth way more than this earlier.  Average prize was 114k euro, and he had double the average stack.  Adjusting for ICM and chip stacks, it was probably worth close to double your figure.  ofc, things now changed, but still think you are underselling him.

Pre tournament, his pricing is fine, players who may be no better than average mugging their "friends" on facebook is not a good way to set the baseline.  The very best players on the internet have an ROI of around 50% at decent stakes.  

Anyway gl Marc, keep grinding them down

Marc Wright got lucky to eliminate the always chirpy Heinz Kamutzki. The German is not so chirp now though as he got his stack in good with AQ Wright held AJ and spiked a jack on the river.

Wp getting a piece before all the sighs mate.

Lolz you say that as if i don't stake much you slag. I'm offended.

Lol. I see you staking all the time. Just real glad for you

forget me. Imagine being Rupert

surprised, the interview was ok, expected it to be horrible

GL tomorrow mate. As soon as the first card is dealt, forget about reading the updates or twitter etc, just 100% focus and concentrate on the game. Play your best and don't worry about the outcome, it's just another poker tournament.

yeh cheers man will do.

try call me wen u get a chance. need ur advice, on how to take the euros here. i dont have a euro account, but i am premier with barclays, so maybe they offer something?

also, im selling for monte carlo soon if any1 is interested

Where do we queue?

1% of monte pls

Good luck tomorrow Marc

TID

Contact me regarding changing the money please mate, bought a currency company recently and as such can get v good rates.

Subtle :)

Gl son, don't bother with interviews it's just for the one timers

GL Marc!!

Yeah I can walk you through that, I got less than 1% off xe rate for aussie dollars with barclays so tell Flushy to do one unless he can beat that.

GL today mate. Keys gives some very good advice itt.

Lol at Flushy. Just bought a currency company. That's not a line you hear everyday. It wasn't Crowncureency was it? Those slags still owe me money.

thanks for advice / well wishing.
feel tons better today so hopefully get it won.
Have actually been pretty card dead this torny, just wenever i have had it, people have gone mad!
If i start well (pretty important for me) then ill be disapointed if i dont win

WSOP schedule? - obv gonna crush

Sick sick sick effort, vwp, itll come

Ul mate, congrats on the score though!

Wp dude sick run wpwp

Ul marc

Thanks for the support !
Kinda disappointed obviously, but would of taken 97k pre torny I guess.
I thought he made a pretty good call. I'm gona have draws alot, but will have 2 pair combos and sets too. Really thought he was folding!
Will sort tomo how is best to convert the euros to ££, and pm every1 for details. Rupert was paid in cash (I took the lot in cash).
50/50 for monte Carlo at the moment!
Cheers

Well done Marc - gl if you play Monte Carlo. I'd be rather happy if you ran deep in the WSOP Main, too.......;)

Like i say give me a shout before you change anything and i can give you a quote, you can then take it or leave it but would be very surprised if you could get better with a high street bank

I would use em for the super hi roller in monte Carlo. Stop being a pussy :)

ok m8, will pm u later

thanks man. Yeh about that, since i won the package on sky, i received 2 emails saying someone was going to ring me, but as yet (i won the package over a month ago), no one had phoned me, is there anything i need to be doing?

I was sat next to them when the young lady rung you, or tried to, & I tried to call you one day, we must have a wrong number. I'll send you a PM now to sort out the phone numbers, & I'll bell you tomorrow. Nowt to worry about, you are BOOKED, but we want to sort out your Hotel & flight details etc.  Also, I give all our players a little "Poker Masterclass" when they arrive in Vegas, (you know, the importance of aggression, that sort of thing), I assume you'll want that too, yes?

yeh would appreciate that. I think i been playing wat too nitty recently.
In berlin there was a point, the last level of day 1, i won 16 pots out of 17 lol

avoid wearing the patches

gona try sort euros into £ tomo or this week sometime, if all can send me bank details via pm here pls

sent.

gotta be a nonzero chance I get something

well done Marc.

ok using flushy's exchange company. im told the money will hit my account tomorrow morning so will sort payments then

Get to Monaco ffs

all paid. flushys company done like 1.28. barclays were offering 1.31... and that would of taken up to 14 days

wow xe has 1.22, so you lose 0.06 from the spot rate? And even worse with high street banks? For a 97k transaction you're losing 4k from the spot rate. Is that just the way it is and no-one can do better?

could be the best grim of all time

Lol. I hope not. I never knew of his checkered history and have only seen great things from Marc. As long as everyone is paid what's owed he deserves the win and karma works in mysterious ways.

Received tks..

Tbh i Wouldn't expect to be paid by tues from someone who cashed a local comp for a bowl on the wknd let alone an EPT abroad for 100K. Gotta give you credit mate, clearly made paying  stakers asap your priority, its clear to see and it's appreciated.

Buying anything nice or is it just a case of having more grinding tokens and bill money?

Should we be expecting a last minute Monaco staking thread?

Barclays was 1.31, but would take 14 days because I had it all in 500 euro notes, and apparently there the biggest form
of fraud in the world!
Everyone losing a little bit is annoying, but we got the money within 48 hours of busting the comp

yeh not gona buy anything rly. Gona grind scoop really hard, pay of a few bits and then put some into the vegas fund. dont think im gona go monte (altho its possible still). I might go vegas for longer than just the main and sell some action here if so

Too late now obviously, but for the future: by far the best way to get paid out is a direct bank transfer from the casino to your bank.

Less than 1% over spot rate + no worries about carrying a huge amount of cash around with you.

The cash desk will sort it for you, all you need is your SWIFT number which your bank will give you.

Thin ;O)

Rates vary bank to bank and you're bloody lucky to only swallow 1% IMO but agreed normally is better conversion than cash, but at least this way flushy gets a few bob which is good for everyone ;)

Lol

No disrespect to Flushy (and congrats if he can get it!) but 4% is shocking.

If you go to your bank and tell them how much currency you have got and how you got the funds you will be able to negoiate a fair rate.

4% is fine and fair enough for a few hundred quids worth.

For nearly 100 grand you should never pay more than 2%

Yeh know for next time, thanks

Set up Euro account, get funds wired there, use service like FXGlobalTransfer (Oanda)-> less than 0.5% vig.  Lloyds and Barclays both do foreign currency accounts for no fee.

wtf

lol walk into a bank with 75k in €500 notes and let me know how that goes for you

Rate at time of xfer was 1.2245 pretty sure we did 1.27xx not sure what exactly. Obviously to anyone the best way is a wire xfer again if anyone gets in this spot can always ask us for a rate if we can't do better than your bank then you've lost nothing.

I had 24k in €500 and Barclays said it would take 2 weeks to get them all checked. Went next door to Thomas Cook and changed the lot

1.272 was rate on 1.2245 spot. Admittedly this is not as good as we have done in the past but it was mainly down to the fact that the wholesalers are weary of the euro volatility so don't want to hold lots of cash, especially €500 notes. It also involved picking up from Plymouth.

Lil Dave and James Mitchell have both used our services for US $ again involving pickups from home and got exceptionally good rates. Sorry we couldn't get any better but prices are driven by forces out of our control.

As I said you can always get a no obligation quote from us but remember wire xfers are going to beat cash transfers when you are talking large amounts.

When I win the lot in Vegas this summer Demps I'll ring you to collect all my $ when I get home :D


Congrats again Marc vwp and I'm sure the big one will come in Vegas so get out there!!

Pls to be selling enough action that it takes more than 11 minutes to sell out though....

flushy is telling complete truth.
barclays were funny about them being in 500euro notes. apparently its the biggest form of fraudulent note in the world!
flushy and his partner were professional and quick. I rcvd the money within 48 hours, and 1.278 rate or whatever was BETTER than that offerd by barclays (1.31)

would reccomend and defo use again!

Can confirm, I got a decent chunk of $'s changed in cash sorted 1 week after I got back to the uk, I think I lost something like 1.5% off the spot rate with no exchange fee's and considering it was delivered t my door (in a lol sainsburys bag!) I was really delighted with the service.

Another thing to remember about flushy's service is you can 100% trust it, I don't know about anyone else but when dealing with 5-6figure sums (speshly in cash) I would happily sacrifice a SMALL vig to have it handled by someone I can trust, and with recourse - as in if something goes wrong or I'm not happy about something I can ring flushy up and speak to him. This is defo worth something.

Never one to disagree with the Camel, but you must be super careful wiring foreign cage -> your UK bank as different banks have different charges for different situations, for example I was trying to wire money from vegas -> UK and i'd have ended up losing near on 5.5% after the budget bank EX rate, and the fee's.

I've set up an account with L-TSB where it holds £/$/euro, no fee's except a very small admin fee for oversea's transaction (£4 or something) and it has debit cards for each so makes moving money around everywhere easier. I think dealing bank-->bank with this stuff is the best way to get closer to the spot.

Need a driver?

Obviously you don't walk into your local Barclays with a plastic bag full of cash and ask for it to be changed.

Local banks are clueless.

Call the foreign exchange desk.

Explain what has happened, direct them to pokernews and let them see the result. 500 Euro notes are not banned in this country.

Then ask them for an offer.

2% is the absolute maximum I would pay.

The problem is pretty much exclusively for €500 bills Keith, since a ban was put on place on UK banks/Change bureaus being allowed to hand them out. It's hard to get a great rate on something when its illegal to sell it here lol

The ban is on banks giving out 500 bills, not accepting them.

I changed some after Amsterdam last winter.

They were wary at first, but after I showed them the result on pokernews, they changed them immediately.

the premier banking manager in barclays knows what i do, was following the stream in germany and new where the money came from. Yet as soon as i said it was 500euro notes his expression changed. The "preferential" rate i was going to get was 1.31 as a premier customer, but this still would of taken up to 14 days he said.
Flushy's partner was able send me £ to bank within 48 hours, at 1.28, AND they collected the cash from me (i live in cornwall).
I will 100% use them again if i have no other way of doing it.
Thanks again
