EPT Grand Final - Monte Carlo: Final Table - Interactive

[Djinn]

Gavin raised to 125, Marc made it 400k.  Call.  Flop:   
Marc bets 500k... and call from Gavin.  Big pot.
Turn:    Marc checks now, and Gavin chip twiddles for a short while before checking.
River:   Marc checks, and Gavin bets 700k.  Marc counts out the call and sits about as still as it's possible to sit while Barry Martin and John Duthie play "guess the possible hand."  Pass.

Gavin takes the second large heads up pot - one all.

[NoflopsHomer]

Over a million in the pot on the board of:



Marc check/called Gavin's turn bet and then on the river. Marc checks, Gavin bets 800k. Marc dwells, "You have the Jack or absolutely nothing..." Marc calls. Gavin shows J-4 and takes down the pot.

[Djinn]

Prior to this hand, Gavin Griffin had already gained back the chip lead, and this pot has bumped him up to 7.2 million, to 3.2 for Marc Karam.

Getting bored and annoyed with mr. Martins commentary on the live webcast I looked him up on the Hendon Mobs database....LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL he has made $16k lifetime.....and his nickname is the bully?? Now how about that for qualifications to sit and comment on the biggest tournament ever in Europe, where the last place money finisher got paid more than the commentator has won lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've won less, had less experience, don't know how to commentate - BUT we'll work for a bowl of (edible) chips and half a glass of beer each.

Gavin raises pre-flop, Marc re-raises and Gavin calls. Marc then bets 600k on the K-Q-9 and forces Gavin to fold a Queen. Marc didn't show.

Don't sell yourselves short.....I would happily pay you all a 6-pack and add a burger (or fish) to go along with the chips

board. Marc check-calls Gavin's 225k bet.

Turn:



Check/check

River:



Marc bets 800k and is called, his 9-6 full house being good.

With the heads-up encounter threatening to crawl into the early hours, I can't help but reminisce about long hauls gone by, the most notable of which was a 7 hours heads-up between Andy Bloch and Chip Reese at last year's WSOP H.O.R.S.E Event. Lasting all the way to 10am in the morning, Chip and Andy played hand after hand after hand without getting anywhere, and when did manage to stumble across a rare all-in, Andy Bloch would inevitably outdraw his opponent to return to an even chip stack ratio and the threat of another couple of hours of check check trauma.

I actually think he's doing a very good job of being the "Everyman" in the booth.  Look at the people who regularly commentate on tournaments - most of them, with exceptions I can literally count on the fingers of one hand, are both annoying on a personal level and clueless about the game.  The Martin/Duthie duo has definite on the road comedy tour potential.

ps. Does anyone know what the record duration is for a competitive heads up encounter?

I'm starting a campaign to get Gryko in the box, if Diddy's party is anything to go by, he'll even find ways to make this dull HU entertaining.
