MIDLAND MASTERS: £1,000 F/O - DAY 2 (Interactive)

[Ironside]

No one going for D, isn't he a dashing young lad.

hum not sure i could agree with any of the 3 statements

[celtic]

any chance of a chip count snoops?

[Ironside]

if you take time to do some analysis of exit hands in big comps you wont be surpirsed to find that the most common exit hand is AQ and the second most common is AK. People seem very happy to go broke with ace high in these events which I find surprising (although having not gotten to latter stages of a major tourney in a couple of years I have never been able to make sure I dont do the same lol).

there is an easy explaination into that

people find it easy getting all in with AK and many will also make stands with 8s thru to queens against all of these AK is only 50/50 therefore your going to be 6 or 7 times more likely to go out holding AK than queens or tens or 8s if you understand what i am saying

[ariston]

easier explanation ironside is that a lot of players over value ace high.

[GlasgowBandit]

A would be the easy option to go for because he is smartly dressed and old so more likely to have established himself throughout lif but I am going to go for option B!!!

Still 15 players left.

Joe Grech raises to 18k from early position and Dan Carter calls.

Flop =

Grech checks, Carter bets 25k (with an innocent look on his face) and Grech folds.

That's not a put on look either. All virgins look like that

[Jack]

ok il go for A.

[danafish]

D! It's D! 

[snoopy1239]

David Wernick is OUT.

Battle of the blinds with Joe Grech (David in the small).

All-in pre-flop with Wernick's K-T of spades in bad shapes against Joe's Pocket Queens.

"I thought he was nicking," conceded David.

First card

but the River dealt a cruel blow to Worm junior.



although Joe did also have the Queen of Spades.

[Eck]

Would the mystery millionaire have made his fortune in the italian property market perhaps?   

[snoopy1239]

And following David Wenick is Mark Blandford, who exits in nasty circumstances.

A coinflip with Ian Woodley with 7-7 v A-K all-in pre-flop, the board dealt a nasty river as it came 8-T-T-5-8

Woodley screamed for the eight, and it arrived!

He releases his usual shout of delight and even kisses the dealer.

"Another one of those and you get the tongue"

I don't think he'll be winning too many hands now.

No, I made my millions selling single ciggies for grossly inflated prices while at high school

Hi Snoops

I think C the sporting odds qualifier.  I reckon you have to be tight as a duck's thingy to become a millionaire so he went for the qualification route!!

Chili is right, but for the wrong reasons.

Contestant C, Mark Blandford, is indeed the millionaire, but not for the reasons Chili stated.

Yes, he's wearing a Sporting Odds shirt, but that's because he's owns the company, not because he's an online qualifier. From what I understand, he also owns Paradise Poker and is one of the pioneers of the explosion of online gaming. Apparantly, he's worth hundreds of millions.

One second, I'm just going to nip off to er.. well, nip him.
