blonde poker forum

With 19 players left, Our very own Paul Maxfield is joint chip leader.Paul said prior WSOP he fancied getting a bracelet, I think this event is one of his best chances as Omaha is one of his strengths, even
over Hold em, IMO
Good luck Paul

17 Left, Paul in about 4th with 35k, Stuart Fox is there too, not sure if same Blondite Stuart F.

Stuart Fox out in 16th, collecting $3385 for his efforts. Well done.

Julian Gardener busts out in 15th, his set of 7's lost out to a club flush on the river.

11 left, Paul Maxfield is still there, also Phil Helmuth & B Greenstein are there too.
Apperently when there were 14 left Helmuth shook the other 13 players hands incase he left steaming. LOL

We have a final.
2 players busted out together, one of them happened to be Phil Helmuth (no laughing please).He went crazy asking the guy if it was personal. Phil had flopped 2 pair but guy hit straight on the turn,guy with less chips also all in busted in 11th as he was low stack.
Good job theres luck in poker as Mr Helmuth would win everything.
Well done Paul Maxfield for making yet another WSOP final  (2 last year). Lets hope its 3rd time lucky and you get the bracelet.

All the best to mad max, a remarkably consistent tournament player.

And as ever we have a market up for it if you fancy a punt.

Will also sort out the Blondites market when I'm back in the office tomorrow.

When is the Final Craig? Methnks we had better try & run a little Live Update, eh?

Oh it's going to be a late night then

Is it tonight? I am a bit out of the loop, I only got back home this afternoon. Well if it is, so be it, we can't let Paul Final without some support from blonde.

Hi Tikay
The final starts at 11pm (our time) . Im playing at Walsall tonight , hoping to win some xtra Vegas $$ ;) ;). If you start it off, Ill be happy to continue when I get back, thats if Paul hasnt sealed the deal by then. Not that Paul will do deals of cause, but you know what I mean.
I think the odds of him @ 4/1 are worth a small punt, as I truly believe Omaha is his strongest event.
Lets hope this is Europes 1st Bracelet of many at this years WSOP..

GO MAXI GO.

Agree, & OK Craig, that's deal.

I will get hold of Dave & see if he can text me some updates.

colchester kev is in vegas looking at naked women so get him doing something usefull

He thinks he already is........

Actually, he'd be perfect, but we cant drag him away from loose women, that's over & above the call of duty.

he has 4 weeks to find the women

With his look's he'll need at least that.

rlmao

its the 10$ he has in his wallet they want look have nowt to do with it

even ariston has a chance there

Tis true I am afraid, in vegas they are not interested in how you look- only your roll.

There's hope for me then?

Okay here's my tricast prediction:

1st  Mad Max
2nd Barry Greenstein
3rd  Chris Ferguson

Anyone want to lay me 1000/1 to a fiver ?

Looks like the xtra vegas $$ are staying in walsall for the time being.
I had that many beats tonight I feel like a scrambled egg.
Anyway back to buisness, The final seemed to start about an 1hr late for some unknown reason.
Was Greenstein playing Negreanu heads up I wonder?
If he was he forgot all about it as hes knocked out Eric Bloore for ninth spot straight away.

Not a lot has been happening except for some blind steals

Thanks Craig, I have a few texts coming in, but it all seems very quiet so far, & nobody seems to know why it began so late.

There was a rumour that it may have had something to do with Barry G and "Jesus" playing in the $5k plhe.

Well things are speeding up, unlucky hand 13, Well it was for Sam Silverman . After a raise , and re raise there was a flop of 8 8 2. all the money goes in. Vinci has AA 7,7   Sam 8,7,6,5  for a set of 8's.
The turn was Ac giving Vinci Aces full.
No 8 on river for sam so it was 8 th place instead for $12,700

Scene setting with the prize structure:

1. $135,500
2. $74,520
3. $38,105
4. $29,640
5. $25,405
6. $21,170
7. $16,935

And a MINUMUM of 7th for Maxi...........

Blinds are up to 1500  3000 now.
Greenstein seems to be the most aggresive at the moment picking up the most blinds.
 

wass upp chaps foxy reporting from vegas its great and i cant wait for more brits to come ;D . I did play in this event and it was great playing, I was put onto a table with phill (cry baby) hellmuth and jesus fergeson to my right with fans all around the table none of them mine may I add it was the hardest table ive been on also barry greanstein, paul maxfield and julian gardener,good luck to Maxfield who is a class act.

Well done Foxy, Great effort .wasnt sure if it was you as there was no details of your country.

As they call B Greenstein the Robin Hood of Poker, I wonder if Tikay is going to try and claim him as a Notts player?

This was the seating and chip count at start of final, obviously changed a bit, including the loss of Mr Silverman

1. Barry Greenstein - $92,000 (seat 5)  
2. Tim Martz - $72,500 (seat 6)  
3. Paul Maxfield - $67,000 (seat 4)  
4. Paul Vinci - $54,000 (seat 3)  
5. Toto Leonidas - $45,000 (seat 7)  
6. Sam Silverman - $39,500 (seat 2)  
7. Chris Lindenmayer - $35,500 (seat 9)  
T-8. Eric "Blue" Bloore - $16,000 (seat 8)  
T-8. Chris "Jesus" Ferguson - $16,000 (seat 1)

You got 16th Stu? Wow, world class, eh?

Barry Greenstein? - yeah, he'as a Notts regular.

I think Davey Newth ought to have a little chat with Mr Greenstein. P4C would be a perfect deposit box for his winnings.

Ferguson out

And Maxi up another rung of that golden ladder.....

1.  Barry Greenstein - $92,500 (seat 5)   
2.  Tim Martz - $88,000 (seat 6)   
3.  Chris Lindenmayer - $82,000 (seat 9)   
4.  Paul Vinci - $74,000 (seat 3)   
5.  Toto Leonidas - $56,000 (seat 7)   
6.  Paul Maxfield - $43,000 (seat 4)

Well the was no miracle river card for C "JESUS"  Ferguson as his 1 pair lost to Lyndenmayers 2 pair.
So Chris takes $16 935 for 7th

Maxfield raises 10 500 pre flop, Greenstein re raises 36k
Maxi thinks for a while before deciding to pass.

The next hand Greenstein raises 9k.  Paul calls
flop A 10 8 rainbow.
Maxfield bets 19 500, Greenstein folds

Go Paul, go!

Unfortunately Greenstein seems to be taking control of the table, Paul and Greenstein  were involved in another pot.
Greenstein raised 12k, Paul called
flop AA 2 ,
Greenstein bets 17K and takes the pot

Players on a break 15 mins

Cmon Paul you can still do it.

The blinds are still the same as the break was unscheduled. 1500 3000
 

the break was so Paul could go to the toilet lol

Well after Paul got a load off his mind during the break, hes come back all guns blazing and won a couple of pots.

Ahh, so that's the pro's secret, eh?

Hi guys, Hi Craig, looks like yer man is running good again, can someone bring me up to speed, or do I have to read the whole thread?

And GOOOO ONNNN MAXEEEEEEE!!!!!

unlucky mate

Paul has been KO'd in 6th.
He was leading till the river against Vinci, but both had plenty outs
Vinci got his flush at the end.

Well played Paul, your time is very close, and Im sure you will get 1 at this WSOP

But another terific result for Paul.

Well there's more to come in this series
