After a brief introduction and a lack lustre clap, Pab's name was announced.

I clapped like mad!

did he hear you?

what was the intro snoop

The final 6...



[attachment deleted by admin]

Blinds = 8k/16k (2k)

Any idea of the clock?

nothing to rave about early doors.

Pab did pick up the blinds one time tho

Looks like the dealer is still clapping from Pab's Intro..

Its still Mickeys hand and goofys tail..........

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

Board = 5d 7c 6d 7h 4d

Lindgren bets 35k, Franklin calls

both show J-8

Boy, this is gonna be tough, it's too crowded in there and the final table feels like miles away.

You need someone to be hanging from the lighting gantry above the final table!! ;)

Gl Pab

Is the Rookie playing the $5k PLHM today - the event he won last year

Lindrgren raises 50k preflop, Madsen moves all-in for an extra 137k, Lindgren folds.

Well don't go busting yer butt Snoops...do what you can .. us lot back home will appreciate any updates you can get, but we dont expect miracles.......

besides ..did you get much sleep?

And this is Lindgren facing that all-in move.

Good Luck Pab

(1) Jeff Madsen takes the blinds

(2) The announcer, who is bald, calls for cocktails (which doesn't make sense because they all ordered beers)

(3) Gaskell takes the blinds

(4) Tony Woods raises 55k, Gaskell (seated next door) pumps it up to 225k, Woods thinks then folds.

      JUST WIN IT PAB :)up

(1) Tony woods takes the blinds

(2) Captain Tom Franklin is given a walk, which is good because he's getting old and needs the exercise

(3) Gaskell raises 50k preflop, Lindgren calls from the big blind. Both check the Ac-5d-Qs flop, then bets 65k on the 7h turn. Lindgren calls. Both check the 6c River. Gaskell wins, K-Q

(4) Then some baboon left his bag in the aisle, I tripped over, and now my toenail seems to be hanging off.

Pab hasn't really played a hand except once when he stole the blinds.

Recognise a familiar face?...



[attachment deleted by admin]

You mean there's someone in that picture?

GL Pab!

Sheriff

Chip counts just announced:

Woods -- 453k
Gaskell -- 892k
Franklin -- 104k
E-Dog -- 653k
Pab -- 180k
Madsen -- 240k

Just met Mad Marty's son

Such a spitting image!

It's so hilarious you wouldn't believe.

It's a picture?

damn - lost over half his stack already? :'(

Board = Aspades 6s 5h Qd 4c

Lindgren made a bet on the river, which was called by Franklin.

E-Dog had K-K

If there's one of these finalists who'll know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em, it's this guy.

Good luck Pab, and isn't Gaskell a Brit as well?

(1) Woods raises 55k, Lindgren makes it 180k, Woods folds.

(2) Tony takes the blinds with a 55k raise

(3) Pab wins a pot, just the blinds though.

Lindgren seems to be a cut above here.

Pab's remaining patient.

Yes.

Action at last!

Info courtesy of bearded guy on the rail. What a star!  *g

Gaskell pushes from the small to Franklin in the big.

shortstacked Franklin calls with Qs 9s, Gaskell has J-7

Queen on flop, 7 on turn, but Kenny Rogers survives and won't need to know when to walk away just yet.

Gaskell hails from Wigan

Spiderman?

He is 2+2 HSNL poster and mod Yeti.

Seeing that it's a special day...



[attachment deleted by admin]

I must say Jen does suit being a blonde better!!

The guy sat on the back row with head down is Dave Gent aka geeforce i belive. But im guessing thats not the person we are looking for!

naaaaawwwwwwwwkkkkaaaaaaaggggggeeeeeeeeeeeee  :)up :)up ;applause; ;applause;

You may also recognise our online cardroom manager, Sir Baron

Paul moves all-in from under the gun.

147k

All fold

Pab looked relieved.

Found a gap...

[attachment deleted by admin]

c'mon pab 2 double ups and ur near the top, gl man!!!

(1) 2h 2d Ad

Tony bets 20k, Gaskell folds

(2) Erick raises 45k preflop, Gaskell (sb) and Franklin (bb) call.

Erick wins after betting 7d 3h Qh flop

(3) Battle of blinds - Franklin and Lindgren check down 9h Ahrt 8c 6h Kc board. Captain has K-T. Surprised he didn't bet the river, but I doubt it's a 'same village' thing.

(4) Jeff takes the blinds, one of which is Pab's Big

Looks like Pab will make his move shortly...

I hope it's to Bigstackville.

 ;goodluck;

Tom Franklin has doubled up courtesy of Gaskell... again (!)

Gaskell raised to 50k preflop, Franklin moved in for another 119k. (the dude on the mic said 120k by mistake - SACK HIM!)

Gaskell called

Ac Tc v Franklin's Ad Qh

Board was harmless

5-K-3-K-J

The hand before that, Pab was in the big blind and checked down a 4-5-7--9-J board, finally winning with T-4 to Lindgren's Q-3

Trap 2

Pab raises 44k

Woods adds another 120k

Pab folds, would have been pretty much all-in

he's down to about 110-120k

Zoiks, what am I doing?!?! He's utg next!

Pab is OUT

Unlucky Pab, you played awesome....  :respect: :respect: :respect:

Paul 'Pab' Foltyn is OUT and becomes the 6th place finisher winning $83,402

all-in under the gun

called by J Gaskell

Gaskell = Ac Js

Pab = 8s 6h

Board was pretty emphatic

Jd Qc 3d Qs 3c

Well done Pab.

Fantastic performance.

VWP Pab ;applause; :respect:

Great job Jen and sno0ps  ;tightend; ;slavedriver;

 :( :( :(

Very unlucky mate. Well played!!

Ahh that is a shame mate, I am sure there will be lots of other oppertunities in the future.   Great work anyway Pab, we are all proud of you  :)up

WP Pab unlucky-u done superb to get there-nice payday too

Well played pab.

well done pabs  :)up

 >:(

 ;applause; :respect:

Well played Pab.

Sandy

Well, I guess he just never got the cards when he needed them

Nevertheless, a cracking performance to plough through a wsop field and make the final table.

I'm sure he'll be chuffed to pieces when he hears of how many blondeites were following his progress and sending out good luck messages.

still a great result Pab  ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; :respect: :respect:

nice work pab . ;goodvevil;

 ;iagree;

And with that, the players leave the table for a 15 minute break

WTG and unlucky Pab.

xx

It must be tough to sit at a final table in that spotlight, especially as every time you think about moving someone gets in first... Ul Pab, but we are all proud of you mate.


Just treat this as a rehearsal for your appearance in the main event final.

Jeff Madsen is his third final, William Chen has already won 2 bracelets, and the standard overall appears to be pretty shoddy...

... so I don't see why not.

Congratulations Pab!!!

Pab mate..............You are a star!!!!!!

Many many congrats on a fantastic performance!

Looking forward to hearing all about it!

 ;applause; ;applause; ;applause; ;applause;

Well done Pab, great performance.


All delighted for you and extremely impressed.

 ;iagree;

 :respect: ;applause; :respect: ;applause; :respect:

I can only echo what everybody else has said.

Well done sir  :)up

 :respect: :respect: ;applause; ;applause;

very well done m8, is it only me whose not bothered about this event anymore? come support me in 20k on bl sq hehe spam on pabs thread

Tony Woods -- 731,000
Erick Lindgren -- 556,000
Jonathan Gaskell -- 534,000
Tom Franklin -- 356,000
Jeff Madsen -- 350,000

Excellent achievement...well done.

 :respect: ;applause; ;applause; :respect:

 ;iagree;

Yo dudes, I am still here, but the action has slowed down quite a lot.

Last hand I saw.

Board = 5h 5d Qc Qd

Franklin bets 60k, Lindgren folds.

Jonathan Gaskell is you current shortstack with around 300k

Well done pab

Most of us only dream of making a final table in the WSOP and you have DONE IT!!!!

 :respect: :respect: :respect:

I bokked him

Gaskell is OUT

No Brits left

Jonathan Gaskell is OUT and becomes the 5th place finisher winning $119,145

Lindgren raised, Gaskell moved all-in, Lindgren called.

A-K v K-K

Ace on the River

OUCH!

great result Pab - well done!

 ;letsparty; Great result Pab, a WSOP Final Table is some achievement!  ;letsparty;

Pab you ARE the man!

Flop = 3s 5s Kc

Lindgren bets 75k

Madsen folds

Franklin calls

Turn = 7d

Both check

River = 3h

check, check

Lindgren wins with 5s 4s

Franklin mucks, but I saw the Ahrt as he threw them in.

Keep that under your hat though.

Looking like Lindgren is gonna take it down snoops?

Tom Franklin doubles up through Lindgren.

Board shows Js 9d 5s 2d

Lindgren bets 55k, Franklin calls.

River = Aspades

Franklin announces all-in, Lindgren calls.

Lindgren has J-J for a set, but Franklin takes it down with the Q-3 of spades.

LOL

Erm.....

As expected, it was a coinflip situation.

Lindgren = Js Jd

Woods = Ahrt Kh

all-in preflop

Board = Td 2c 7d 4h 2h

There are some really unsympathetic Lindgrenites in the crowd, jumping out of their seats, high fiving and shouting various crap.

Have to feel sorry for Tony Woods.

Everyone was expecting the big names to bring home the bacon Pab, but it is u that have give us the most excitement. Well Done man.

Lingren bets 100k on a board of 9c 5h Kc 3s

Franklin calls.

both check the 8h River, although Lindgren counted out chips before tapping the felt

Lindgren wins with pocket ladies

It appears as though Erick Lindgren's experience has shone through. He has taken control of this final table and, barring a late Madsen/Franklin comeback, looks set to win what I believe will be his first bracelet. Am I right?

Brilliant performance Pab, all the best for the rest of the series.

Jeff Madsen raised to around 50k preflop, Franklin (small blind) called.

Flop = Th 6d 3h

Franklin check raises all-in, Madsen calls.

Madsen = Kh Tc

Franklin = Qd Td

Turn = Ad

But no flush or Queen arrives and the Captain is gone.

We are now heads-up.

Erick Lindgren versus Jeff Madsen

It's around 1.6 mil vs 900k

Lindgren is the clear favourite

And here they are...



[attachment deleted by admin]

Big hand

Lindgren raises preflop, Madsen calls.

Flop = 9h 6d 3d

Lindgren bets, Madsen calls.

Turn = Ahrt

Lindgren bets out again, and Madsen calls... again

River = Td

Madsen bets out 150k, Lindgren folds.

Madsen teases by showing the 2s

What a tinker!

That pot has brought Madsen to almost even, he can only be a couple of hundred thousand behind now.

The two players are about to munch on a Kit-Kat.

Thanks again for all the support everyone, i will write a proper report for my blog tomorrow, now its time to get drunk!!

Jen & snoopy, we are meeting aaron in the voodoo lounge at the top of the rio, please come and join us if u finish working sometime soon,

all the best

Pab

Yes would be Lindgren's first bracelet snoops, apparently he gets a lot of stick for not having one!

WD Pab m8, enjoy it!

Erick Lindgren raises to 50k preflop, Jeff Madsen calls

Flop = 2c Jc Ts

Jeff bets 60k, Lindgren calls

Turn = 4d

Jeff bets 100k

Lindgren calls

River = Jh

Jeff bets 400k

Lindgren gives it a real lengthy dwell before passing

Jeff shows 6-5

What a play!

Many many many small pots.

To my dismay, Lindgren folded the small blind to Jeff Madsen's Aces

Argh!

I hope these guys weren't watching the HORSE final...

They've just completed the 150th hand of today's final.

The last three hands to make the flop have been taken down by Lindgren.

Preflop all-in!

Madsen = 8-8

Lindgren = A-K

Both an Ace and an eight on the flop!!!

Madsen doubles up to the dismay of the Lindgrenites who have been shouting stuff like "YEAH MAN!", "ATTA BOY!", "PAY HIM!", showing no class at all.

Current chippy count:

Erick Lingren -- 800,000
Jeff Madsen -- 1,700,000

Preflop action.

Flop = Qc 3s 2d

Madsen pushes all-in

Lindgren folds

Young American picks up a 360k pot

Jeff Madson now has a commanding chip lead

2,200,000 plays 300,000

It's over!

Erick Lindgren is OUT and becomes the 2nd place finisher winning 357,435

And to quote the guys on the radio, "Lindgren looks totally stunned"

From the flops you've shown us, it looks like he was completely outplayed...

Lindgren = A-J

Madsen = Q-9

Madsen spiked a Queen

meaning...

JEFF MADSEN IS THE $5,000 SHORTHANDED NO LIMIT CHAMPION WINNING $643,381

At just 21 years of age, the increible Jeff Madsen has won his second bracelet of the 2006 World Series.

I think you may be right. That play with the 6 high was class. Fired 3 bullets against a renowned pro and got him to fold on the river.

Not only has he won 2 bracelets this year but he got 3rd in the $2k Hi lo. Some player!

So, with that, we're done and the fork is firmly protruding. Well done to Jeff Madsen, a worthy victor and double bracelet winner but also, a big congratualtions to Paul 'Pab' Foltyn who acheived a remarkable feat by beating over 500 other competitors to reach today's final table. Quite remarkable and I take my proverbial hat off to you.

 :respect:

Nighty, night folks. I'm cooked.  ;sleep;

Good work snoopy.

Don't tell Erick I bokked him please.

Well played Pab $83k a Good result, make sure you bring some of it back home.  :D

Well done Pad stunning performance  :)up :)up :cheers: :cheers:

Well played Pab, awsome performance!

Well done Pab, told you you could do it ;)

Snoops /Jen go get 20hours sleep hehe ;)

I just want to add that Pab was very unlucky on the final table. He was card dead and every small stack around him was offered a charity double up whilst he had to grind it out. You couldn't have written a worse script.

Only a fantastic, world class call by Lindgren about an hour in stopped Pab having a great shot at it. That pot was the difference between 2nd in chips and very little manouverability.

All I can say is that is the first of many finals for Pab. What a class act.

(The all dayer and night out that followed was pretty good too.)
