Title: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: redsimon on June 27, 2005, 09:02:58 AM Did Dave C give this a miss?
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: Colchester Kev on June 27, 2005, 09:38:12 AM Ram Vaswani is kicking ass so far, i hope he does it, he is a smashing chap and very modest.
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: ariston on June 27, 2005, 10:41:09 AM Sure I saw dave on the list earlier with about 20k.
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: sig75 on June 27, 2005, 11:08:06 AM Any news about the young Norwegian Edgar Skjervold?
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: tikay on June 27, 2005, 12:53:17 PM Dave played, & is still
47 players left overnight. Chip Leader is Ram, 148k. Edgar Skjervold is mid field with 36k. Dave Colclough is lowish with 10k. Another Norweigan (there are TWO??!!) Vegard Nygarard is also there, 10k. Simon Trumper is hanging in with 5k, Devilfish has 1k. 9 get paid. Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: bobby1 on June 27, 2005, 03:26:53 PM I like our chances in this event.
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: tikay on June 27, 2005, 03:59:50 PM I had a glance at the remaining players - you could well be right Bobby - over a third of the field can reasonably be claimed as "ours".
As well as Ram, Dave Colclough & Simon Trumper, & Skjervold & Nygarard, the two Norweiganish guys, we also have..... Eugeny Kafelnikov, 92k. Surindar Sunar 75k Sigi Stockinger (Austria, 59k) E C Cohen (Paris - is this Le Dangereux I wonder?) 48k "Bruno Jais"??? (Paris - maybe THE Bruno???) 46k Ross Boatman 39k Tony Bloom 37k Robin Keston 36k Eddy Sharf (Germany) 33k A Swagaru, (Birmingham - maybe Brum USA - help me Karabiner!) 21k Chris Bjorin (London) 18k Richard Ashby 12k Mickael Ustinov (Moscow) 10k Ben Roberts 10k Dave Mehrmand (Germany?Iran/Persia). 8k Surely we gotta go close in this baby? Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: Karabiner on June 27, 2005, 04:40:55 PM I'm not familiar with Mr. Swagaru, but I believe "le dangereux" is Robert Cohen.
Sorry to be of little assistance. :( Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: ifm on June 27, 2005, 06:18:32 PM There's an A Sivaguru aka doc who plays at Walsall, nah can't be him.........nah, can't be. He's actually a surgeon.
Checked the spelling on a couple of sites and it ain't him.........couldn't have been really, nah. Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: tikay on June 27, 2005, 07:06:17 PM The Font of Wisdom is cllosed for repairs. Hopeless. quite hopeless. You need to buck up Karabiner. Try Harder. Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: sig75 on June 28, 2005, 12:06:24 AM For those wondering, Edgar Skjervold is the one who won the Pokerstars "World Championship of Online Poker" Main Event last year (his nick is "ragde" on Stars), a $2500 entry online tourney with more than $460000 in first prize. Both him and Nygaard are high limit players both online and in Norwegian cardrooms.
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: tikay on June 28, 2005, 01:28:10 AM Was he in Bergen Sig? Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: sig75 on June 28, 2005, 01:40:30 AM No, not this time, he had already left for the sin city in Nevada. Just got a text update from Nygaard, he is OUT, knocked out by his fellow countryman Skjervold, who now has over 60k and doing allright - soon to break down to three tables.
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: tikay on June 28, 2005, 01:43:07 AM I hope he Finals! By the way, Tuesday is the last chance fior you guys to catch the "Norweigan" Poker 425, midnight Norway time. Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: sig75 on June 28, 2005, 02:00:02 AM On the flop of 9d-8h-4c Edgar Skjervold bet out $6,600 and Tony G called. The turn came out a 5s, Skjervold checks, Tony G bets $24,600(pot) and Skjervold reraises all in. Tony calls and shows a pair of hole 10's and a straight draw. Skjervold shows 4-4 in the hole for a set of 4's and when the river put another 5 out, he got his full house. Tony G said "That's gonna keep me quiet for a while huh?".
From cardplayer.com Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: sig75 on June 28, 2005, 06:11:53 AM With 19 left, Ram Waswani is chipleader with 190k, and our Norwegian friend Skjervold has around 84k. Let's cheer for the first Norwegian in the final in this WSOP!
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: tikay on June 28, 2005, 09:46:38 AM Well bobby1's prediction yesterday that this would be a good event for us is looking good. They are playing down to a final of 9, & at 0930 UK time, heres how the last 10 stand. Cohen E.C. - $126,000 Robert Williamson III - $160,000 Allen Cunningham - $210,000 Davood Mehrmand - $120,000 Surinder Sunar - $95,000 Phil Ivey - $495,000 Phil Hellmuth - $130,000 Eddy Sharf - $145,000 Richard St Peter - $170,000 Sigi Stockinger - $225,000 Sadly, our Norweigan friend busted out 13th, and Ram busted out in 11th. Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: redsimon on June 28, 2005, 09:50:13 AM Looks a tough USA contingent too with Ivey, Hellmuth (after bracelet #10 and if he wins his first non hold em bracelet!) and Robert Williamson who has a great PLO record.
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: tikay on June 28, 2005, 10:32:37 AM They have now finished play for the day, & 10 will return tonight, with 9 getting paid.
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: TightEnd on June 28, 2005, 10:46:51 AM Phil Ivey. What a player. Cool as anything and balls of steel. Serious hero worship going on here.
:-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: tikay on June 28, 2005, 10:57:51 AM Hmm, yes, the hero worship is noted. But when it comes to "cool", our Surindar can match Phil icicle for icicle.
Of course, Hellmuth is still there. He's been called a lot of things, but "cool" ain't one of them...... Cohen - if indeed it is Le Dangereux, does not get the cool rating - he's French - but he won't be phased by the big names, & he'll be laughing & giggling in that high pitched manner that grates so much. A genuinely nice guy though, despite being, well, you know. The oddball here is of course David (or, as you prefer, Davood) Mehrmand. He's as nutty as a fruitcake, completely loopy, and cool he is NOT. But if he wins this baby, we will award him Honorary Coolness. Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: Karabiner on June 28, 2005, 11:53:30 AM The French guy is Claude Cohen, who may be related to Robert "le dangereux".
Pity it's not Robert as I would pay good money to watch Helmuth v Le Dangereux part two ! ;D Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: tikay on June 28, 2005, 12:21:43 PM Agreed Ralph. Robert would be nailed on to send Hellmuth into a mega-tantrum. How much fun would that be? Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: AlrightJack on June 28, 2005, 06:13:02 PM Updated odds now available on Blue Square for tonight's final http://www.bluesq.com/bet?action=go_events&type_id=921
Ivey 13/8 Cunningham 7/1 Stockinger 7/1 Hellmuth 8/1 Williamson III 8/1 Scharf 10/1 Sunar 10/1 Mehrmand 12/1 St Peter 12/1 Cohen 12/1 Win only Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: Ironside on June 28, 2005, 06:23:25 PM sunar at 10s you guys trying to give away money just a pity i dont gamble or i would have 50 notes on that
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: Karabiner on June 29, 2005, 12:26:00 AM Tough bubble !
St. Peter did not have a safe journey and got zilch for tenth place. 9th gets $52k :'( Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: Bongo on June 29, 2005, 12:28:39 AM Ouch! That's a bit harsh.
Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: tikay on June 29, 2005, 12:52:51 AM Thanks Ralph - what a storm that was, eh? Got no power or Broadband here, so stuck with a mega slow Laptop. You ae in charge. Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: Karabiner on June 29, 2005, 10:01:20 AM Had I realised that I was in charge I'd have stayed up a bit longer.
;D Phil Ivey won his 5th bracelet, Robert Williamson 2nd, D,Mehrmand 3rd. Title: Re: WSOP PLO $5000 with rebuys Post by: snoopy1239 on June 29, 2005, 02:09:56 PM Hmm, yes, the hero worship is noted. But when it comes to "cool", our Surindar can match Phil icicle for icicle. Here here. If you can put up with Tony G, then you can get through anything. |
