WSOP 2018

[Ironside]

Scott Margereson currently 1/6 on the Colossus final table, which is being streamed here https://www.twitch.tv/pokercentral

He has 20m chips, and they're coming back to 150k/300k blinds.

He finished 4th for $220k

Heads up been going on for about an hour now and has been incredible. Liu is just like a guy you would see at Luton. Celebrated an all in on the flop way too early and got rivered. Brazilian guy has been pretty poor.

I went to bed when they were 4 handed, but it looked like a bit of a crapshoot was incoming.

A monkey comp at the WSOP is going to be filled with punters

i turned this on for something to help me sleep, just after the uk guy laid down trip   and finally got to my bed during the break around 6am thanks marky

no idea who the guy was he was the only player making any moves on the table got me wanting to play

The look of surprise is presumably as he is still in after 10 minutes. ($565 PLO)

Spotted this morning in the WSOP $1,500 6 Max.

Lost a fair bit of weight.

Must be the first person to move to Vegas and lose weight!

On a serious note, is he okay, he wasn't exactly massive before!

Good question, I thought the same.

We chatted for a good while, & he told me he is on a health kick - good food & exercise. Meanwhile, he said, Shola is going the opposite way & piling on weight.

I was momentarily slightly embarrassed, & was not sure how to respond to "the wife is getting well fat" until he continued "as she is 26 weeks pregnant".

What a lovely lad he is, deserves everything he gets in life.

His day job is playing cash at Bellagio usually.

Living the dream.

Seriously, I barely recognized him at first.

Jesus.  I didn't realise it was who it was until you mentioned Shola!  I thought it was 'is it' (can't remember his name) from blonde Titbean!

LOL Titbean couldn't get that fat if he went on the Vinny/Arbboy diet for a year.

I literally scrolled down wondering how you would have disparaged me!

fwiw my gf says i've got a 'paunch', i'm super proud, she tells me it's not something to be proud of 

She's wrong mate. Take it from me  😀

it's all relative.

Ok so you might not believe this, but I just won the Aria $25k high roller again. I don’t know what’s happening anymore.

another day, another tournament win.   

He took down the WSOP heads up last night. 

[Marky147]

Anybody know the British guy he beat in the final?

Remember the guy consulting charts late in the WSOP a couple of years ago.   

Also supposedly plays high stakes heads up.

Now thinking the chart thing may have been the best reverse tell ever.

Packing hand ranking chart for Vegas...

I didn't, but that's what my old man told me.

Said must have been on the wind up, or it was some kind of complex GTO chart, lol.

I'd not heard mention of him in yonks, either. Think last I heard he was living in Lebanon?

He'll be a bugger to play against with that stack today.

Wandering the Millionaire Maker tables & spotted Simon again, said hi, chatted a bit.

He opens, & flicks his cards up for me to see.

 

He picks up a customer, & they see the flop & turn......

The boy is blessed. That's Karma at work.
