Last nights heat was very good. Tony G got very unlucky. Massive chip lead heads up and then just couldn't win a pot. Good viewing though.

Did anybody watch Thursday's heat?

Any comments on the winners "style?"

Saw the last hour or so of that live, there's a lot of luck in tournament poker.

I was just amazed he got away with limping so much. I cannot remember a preflop raise from him until he got AA heads up? He got people to pass better hands  like the KK limp on the button, O'Dea has A4 in bb Flop Axx and Donnacha lays down to a bet on the turn . Other classics were JJ limp vs TT Flop King hi he calls turn bet checks river, TT guy gives up and shows TT he shows JJ and says "I thought you had a King?"

All in all a strange heat. It could have been heads up 5 hands in if O'Dea had called wth As6s raiser had AQ matey boy 8s8c  and another guy passed Ks9s. Flop Queen high all money in and matey boy hits runner runner flush

I saw a bit of this prog, and most of that hand. How fate could have transpired to end a show so quickly?!

Now about this new avatar of yours Simon....

Although I was gutted to get knocked out of this I'm actually quite pleased with the way it came across on TV. I was going all in a lot because the blinds get big very quickly and they could have made me out to be some kind of all in one move only donkey. In fact they showed my stop n go and my what I've always thought of as the calley calley bluff move which I found out the other day is actually called the float play.

I am even more disappointed with my bust out hand, if I'd have known I was 2nd in chips I would never have reraised all in with A5o. What didn't come accross on telly was that Barry Hearn tried to raise to 45K (7/15K blinds) but was called up for a string bet and could only put in 30K. I would have passed to a 45K bet but with the mini bet leaving me some folding equity and a good chance he was steaing anyway I made the bad bad move. Not to worry though, just have to qualify for the next one.
