Jorma Nuutinen: A♠2♠ Vicky Coren-Mitchell: 6♠4♥ Things were looking good for the Fin, but the river would cost him: 10♦9♦K♦Q♣6♥.

What a shot in the arm for UK Pker if she was to do the double One of the really recognisable (to non poker players) players in the UK Title: Re: EPT San Remo thread Post by: tikay on April 20, 2014, 06:15:03 PM Tremendous stuff What a shot in the arm for UK Pker if she was to do the double One of the really recognisable (to non poker players) players in the UK Exactly how I see it. Not exactly "Moneymaker effect", but certainly significant. Title: Re: EPT San Remo thread Post by: lucky_scrote on April 20, 2014, 06:53:28 PM The way I see it is Vicky is such a lovely person and deserves the double. She's put quite a lot into poker in her career.

Brutal how she decided to make us all sweat before calling. AT > QT on 4TT35 board. Still three left but VCM is no longer the minichipper Title: Re: EPT San Remo thread Post by: Killerkilsby on April 20, 2014, 08:05:46 PM Thought she completly butchered that hand surprised the guy didnt flat the river there.
No hating just commenting Title: Re: EPT San Remo thread Post by: Tal on April 20, 2014, 08:08:08 PM Thought she completly butchered that hand surprised the guy didnt flat the river there. No hating just commenting Any live stream will be full of this stuff. There comes a point where you have to accept hands are played as they are played. IMO anyway. Title: Re: EPT San Remo thread Post by: TightEnd on April 20, 2014, 08:10:59 PM Heads up!!!!
Title: Re: EPT San Remo thread Post by: Tal on April 20, 2014, 08:12:59 PM Westmorland down to a single milliball decides to call it off to VCM's shove with Qh 6h. Heroine has A3o.
Turn brings 6c but Barry Greenstein makes an appearance with an ace on the river to send Westmorland to the rail and VCM heads up for the trophy. Title: Re: EPT San Remo thread Post by: Ironside on April 20, 2014, 08:16:20 PM gl mrs mitchell

Great result, although of course JWProdigy is a boss too and would have been as of a deserving winning, just 1% as good for the game of poker.

(Yes, a question mark and TWO exclamation marks, indeed) The comments section is something you MUST read. There are some absolutely tremendous things posted underneath otherwise dull articles. Dave Gorman did a brilliant sketch about them. Obviously, the Daily Mail is the best for your day to day hilarirants.

"Never bet on facts. Bet on as yet undecided outcomes. If you’re betting on something that’s already happened and the person you’re betting against is happy to put a lot of money up, they probably know the results already." "This grew from the time I was in the pub with Neil Channing near Christmas and Fairytale of New York came on the radio. He said he thought it was a cover version. I said, “Don’t be ridiculous. This is obviously Shane MacGowan and Kirsty McColl; listen to it.” He said, “No. It’s a cover.” Anyway, we bet a hundred pounds on it and we asked the barman to have a look at the CD cover. As Neil was pocketing my money he told me - never bet on facts."
