gogogo both

how mizrachi does it is beyond me, he is just so fucking terrible it's unreal.

FulllFlush ftw imo :)up

I want Schwartz to win it just to see his celebration.

I want to see Schwartz win just to tilt the kids on 2 plus 2  ;D

Even if you dont like/know either , this has to be a HUGE rail and loud. Songs about hastings and bonomo aswell.

is there going to be a rail?

He keeps drawing ridic soft tables were those guys who say they are really good players don't make level 3 :)

Skill game obv

Massively funking for Stevie. One of the original UK online poker heroes.

Good luck to Stephen Chidwick. His name regularly crops up at the closing stages of tournaments, sure he is due this. Cool guy for always flying under the radar.

Why is he terrible?

lol at fullflush tweet about 6/9 being jewish sharks..

Unfortunate seat draw for Stephen with Mizrachi on his left!

Stevie is legit hero, deserves it so much more than anyone else here

OBV love it for luke to win, a 1/2 either way is a sick result


5k NLH tomorrow so guessing the rail will be lacking most of familiar British faces to start off with

have u ever seen him play on TV snoops?

He averages $1.5 million per year over an 8 year period. That's nearly £30k a week for 8 years.

Based on my very limited second hand knowledge of him he seems like the type who has an A game and an E game and not a lot inbetween. But his A game is stellar. Might be totally off the mark there though.

Pre flop he is awesome.

Balls of steel.

But distinctly average through the streets.

Amazing he has got such a good record in this event, would have thought the experts would pick him off in the technical games.

but how much did he lose?

It all, twice!

edit:

how much did chino lose for him

A lot of what these guys spunk off is not lost Playing poker but gambling on other stuff.

Like crashing property values and the IRS?

(and chino)

Lol. We all know a Chino or two.

No.
Is he the world's luckiest poker player?
I guess someone has to be.

mbn!

No.

He's a David Williams-esque type player.

Technically does loads of bad stuff. Would have people licking their lips in cash games but in tournaments has big balls and knows how to win.

Cos is right, experience and fearlessness are pretty formidable tools in big field tournaments, so he fully deserves credit his results are excellent there. I'm just way surprised that he has had 2/3 deep runs in this tournament where you'd expect him to be ripped apart cos the games are technical and the field is very, very strong.

As far as cash games go he's a huge spot, I've played several thousand hands vs him and the mid-high stakes games on FTP used to basically run around him

i wish i knew a mizrachi

You are a lot of people's mizrachi :)

Don't mine  being Mizrachi with result he had. I wish I run like him.
I am not a fan of FullFlush & I hope he DW

what time does this start UK time?

about now 10pm

you have more money than Mizrachi Frankie, trust me :P

Nice laddering already for both

Luke 4/5 on break

just read these updates snoops and you'll see im right. just called raise from sb in PLO with A284

Wish I am $5 behind him

What's wrong with that hand ? It can make wheel

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiick  :-X

Stupid fecking 6.... Hope Bloch or grinder wins.

This Alan on the commentary is so far up Klodniicki's arse it is in real. Ruining the commentary for me. Love Tuchman tho and can't wait for Tikay in there

Wp The Grinder

WP Grinder... @nd bracelet in the same event mbn.....

Reckon we could rustle it up for him

So Mizrachi wins, dispatching 7 finalists in 5 hours

This was his third WSOP Bracelet in 3 years, and 2 WPTs too

His seventh seven figure score

He immediately registered for the $1m buy-in One drop event. So that's a spin up, then.

Incredible. Hope he has paid off everything he owes out and does cash in the one drop.

lol   ;tightend;

You reckon he will sell in chunks of 0.001%?

He was out dancing with Trickett last night so don't be suprised if he is in

It's a fucking miracle he's ever been able to even buy into that tournament let alone win it twice.

Patrick backs him

Ivey used to back him.

0:30 in Mizrachi's favour after make up.

Rumour has it that he was like 2mill in make up when Ivey quit staking altogether.

Patrick doesn't stake him, he had 50% of him in the Series he won the 50k and finaled the main but PA didn't have any of the main event action (he also had 50% of his brother's series as well and he FT'd the 50k). I have no idea who put him in this.

Do you agree with Mike the Mouths tweet that if one of the business men win the one drop the poker world will be dead broke

yes

It made me see Dubai's side a bit more in the staking mark up debate too. Previously i had been 100% on letting the market decide but can see the affect on the economy with people knocking it in at 1.5 etc

not sure why this has made you see lol didnt most people sell at face or 1.1?

Mercier sold at 1.1 (which has to be terrific value) I didn't hear of anyone selling at any higher than that.

Remember there is 11% rake so mericer at 1.1 you pay basically $110,00 for 10% which its neutral value would be $89k works out something like 1.23 or w/e which is actually still pretty decent I think - if you did buy $110,000 wirth of action as a US player you'd be able to write $11,000 off your tax which gives you about $3600 "rakeback" if you like, so I'm not surprised a lot of people have managed to raise the buy-in. It'll actually be a great tournament I think

Whereas the mouth has a decent point, of the 6 places likely to be paid with a prizepool of ~$42.8m after the rake it's actually quite unlikely that there won't be at least 4 pro's in the money places, obviously it depends who finishes where but I think the field will be split something like 70/30 pro/recreational money its going to be very difficult for the pro community to lose much of there investment, so I wouldn't worry. Most people, like myself for e.g have $0 invested in this tournament, I will ofc still be broke by the end of the summer, but won't be because of this tournament :D

Sorry to confuse. Did not mean selling for the one drop I meant in general. Before I just thought if guys could get it then why not let em charge it. Losing $14 mill out of the poker economy is obv bad when they are unlikely to re invest it by playing a load more or by backing and lending to other poker players. It made me think about Daves argument that if you are making bad investments at 1.5 etc you are going to lose money and eventually busto
