Monte Carlo Millions - Final Table

[tikay]

Here's Chip Second Richard Herbert. What a remarkable rags to riches story by this guy, a comparative unknown a few months back.

There has been no real action to speak of yet, Raise Pass, Raise Pass.

And it's a full 20 minutes and counting without a flop - just thought I should pop back and report so you can all tell I've been watching closely... the blinds and antes have gone to:
Strummer (Richard Herbert) x2
Phil Ivey x2
Marc Goodwin x1
Paul Jackson x1

They are 8,000 - 16,000 so John Juanda must be feeling a tad pressed, and the other shorter stacks might be doing something so I'm heading back in.

Nice One TK.... 'A comparative unknown' sounds a bit better than 'A total unknown'   hehe

[Ironside]

your correct tikay it was listed as a ranking event last time i looked but it is no longer listed that way

20 minutes flop-less, then it all goes off! Kenna James got himself busted all ends up when Marc Goodwin trapped him an absolute treat, when, seeing a 2-2-7 flop, the strangely subdued Kenna James thought his 33 was good, but Marc was a zillion miles ahead with his KK.

Here's Kenna in happier times.

Jen - djinn - & I are 50 metres apart, can't see or speak to each other, so apologies if our Posts overlap, we are doing our best in awkward circumstances. All the other bloggers have ost their power supply, the building's power supply is grossly overoaded with all these tv peeps & stuff, & fuses have been blowing left right & centre. But Jen & I have both found little power enclaves, & we arre keeping a low profile, in case someone tries to steal our precious power.

Yes, wouldn't you know it, the minute I disappear, all the action kicks off (thanks Tikay).  I eventually got the story from Mel Judah and have to guess that Marc now has about 900,000.

ActionJack & Bengt Sonnert collide big-style, it's all-in pre-fliop, & this is what they show.

Bengt has.....

ActionJack has.... As

Flop is ......

And despite a nerve tingling moment when the possibility of a 4 flush existed, it alll ended up as a split pot.

But THEN it alll went off next hand.....
