The Bellagio Five Star Classic Main Event.

[tikay]

It's truly amazing how guys like Antonius & Thewy appear to outdraw folks time after time.

But the fact is, they give themselves a chance to outdraw peeps by getting their chips in the middle, when most of us lesser mortals would hesitate.

And as they tend to operate with deep-stacks, they can afford to take chances.

Good luck to them I say. If I have Q-Q & they have 6-6, I WANT them to call, & if they bust me, well too bad.

I'd be delighted to see Antonius win it. His performance in Baden was nothing short of astonishing - arrived 5 hours late & won it in a canter!

Unlucky Rob, sounded like you had a ball anyway!

Glad to see Surinder still in there, total class and over due for another prestigous title.

[julian]

ul rob - an honest appraisal & i'm surprised that you of all folks would choke,
i'm sure now it's been recognised it can be better dealt with in the future.
keep on truckin, a big one awaits i'm sure

[Dingdell]

Patrik Antonius seems to be have won at least 3 encounters with underpairs so far , is what makes him so brilliant ?

When I first read this I thought it said underpants - I was wondering how you knew - did he wear them outside his trousers or something.......another coffee is required I think!

[Dingdell]

And bad luck Rob - but its just one more step towards a bigger one.

[tikay]

So who is Vinny Vinh?

[ariston]

think hes from sheffield tikay

[redsimon]

As far as I can see 3 brits left in, Ross Surinder and Roland DeWolfe is in the top 6 chips with 70 left...

[JP]

Wow look at the names left in!

I'm gonna go for Jennifer Harmen, Johnny Chan and Dustin Woolf (neverwin)

[redsimon]

well two of them busted late in the day...
